UP NEXT: AN O.HENRY HOLIDAY
Join us! Dec. 12-13 for a pay-what-you-can holiday event. From the great American short story teller O.Henry, three tales for the season. In “The Cop and the Anthem” all Soapy wants for Christmas is 90 days in a nice, warm cell with three meals a day. But a bum can’t get arrested in this town.
In “Love a la Carte” a landlady puzzles over the romance of her favorite tenant, Sarah. Something seems to have gone terribly amiss. Then Fate takes a hand.
In “The Ransom of Red Chief” a pair of scalawags hatch a scheme to kidnap and ransom the son of the town’s wealthiest citizen. What could go wrong?
No tickets to buy, no reservations to make, just a donation jar for this pay-what-you-can event.
AET’s 22nd SEASON
AET’s 2025-26 season opens with a musical, Guys on Ice, Sept. 4–21. Lloyd and Marv spend a day on the ice, with occasional visits from Ernie the Mooch, contemplating life (kinda funny), love (complicated), and their beloved Green Bay Packers (now and forever).
In November, Stephen King’s horrifying novel comes to chilling life on stage with Misery, Nov. 6-23. Academy Award-winning screenwriter William Goldman adapted this gripping tale of a writer and his “number one fan” for film in 1990 and, more recently, for the stage.
Margaret Chase Smith bucked her party and the prevailing winds of politics when she took the floor of the Senate to denounce Senator Joseph McCarthy in a speech she called,, “a declaration of conscience.” Conscience, a smart, witty play about a woman who stood on principle, no matter the cost, comes to the AET stage March 12-29.
We finish the season with our 16rh world premiere! Be the first to see a brand new stage adaptation of Agatha Christie’s The Murder at the Vicarage! The vicar of the tiny English village St. Mary Meade, is staggered to find a dead man in the vicarage. And it’s no accident! Colonel Protheroe was shot in the head! Luckily, the vicar’s neighbor, Miss Jane Marple, is determined to crack the case. She already has seven suspects in mind… Agath Christie’s very first Miss Marple novel comes to life at AET in a new adaptation by playwright Margaret Raether.
