One Weekend, Two Special Events: Join us Columbus Day Weekend!
Messages from the Other Side with James Flynn
Friday, 10/10 and Saturday, 10/11 at 7:30PM
Tickets: $28.00.
Join James Flynn for a public demonstration of mediumship. James Flynn serves as a bridge between the physical world and those who have crossed over into the afterlife. James’s goal is to bring people comfort by proving that there is continuity of life. His evidence is accurate and specific and he delivers his healing messages in a very genuine style. Due to the size of the crowd, not everyone will receive a personal message, but everyone will witness the messages that are given, which is an amazing experience in and of itself. As an added plus, Goddess Elite, a metaphysical gift shop in North Olmsted will also be selling a variety of items in the lobby that evening!
James has been engaged in the practice of mediumship for the past 14 years. He has developed his gift by studying with a number of other well-known, experienced mediums. James is a member of the Lily Dale Assembly in New York, where he has served spirit at public services and conducted classes on how to develop mediumship skills. James is also available by appointment for personal readings and public demonstration, both of which he does on a local and national level.

Ever wonder what it would be like to meet with dame Agatha Christie? Well now you can! Clague playhouse is happy to announce that the best-selling “queen of crime” will honor us with her presence and disclose some of the most intimate, dark secrets of her own life. Come meet the real Agatha. This writer who brought us Hercule Poirot and his little gray cells…and who mastered the art of intricate plots and page-turning suspense promises to open a few of her closets to reveal some skeletons of her own and help us see the complex, fascinating woman she was.

The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie
Directed by Ron Newell
9/12/2025 – 10/5/2025
with talk backs with director and cast on 9/13/2025, 9/21/2025 & 9/27/2025
Agatha Christie’s iconic murder mystery is the world’s most successful and longest-running play. After a local woman is murdered, the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor find themselves stranded during a snowstorm. It soon becomes clear that the killer is among them and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate, culminating in a brilliant surprise finish.

The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon
Directed by Curt Arnold
Show Dates: 11/14/2025 – 12/14/2025, with talk backs with director and cast on 11/15/2025, 11/23/2025 & 11/29/2025
A companion play to last year’s Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley, this year’s The Wickhams takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters during the same Christmas celebration. The no-nonsense housekeeper Mrs. Reynolds, eager new maid Cassie, and lovesick footman Brian are busy with holiday preparations. But their work is interrupted by the clandestine midnight arrival of Mr. Wickham – Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy (who definitely was not invited). The Wickhams is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.
Maytag Virgin by Audrey Cefaly
Directed by Rose Leininger
Show Dates: 1/30/2026 – 2/22/2026, with talk backs with director and cast on 1/31/2026, 2/8/2026 & 2/14/2026
A classic love story by southern regionalist Audrey Cefaly, Maytag Virgin follows Alabama school teacher Lizzy Nash and her new neighbor, Jack Key, over the year following the tragic death of Lizzy’s husband. The play explores the ideas of inertia and self-enlightenment, and the bridge between the two.
Lettice and Lovage by Peter Shaffer
Directed by David Vegh
Show Dates: 3/27/2026 – 4/19/2026, with talk backs with director and cast on 3/28/2026, 4/4/2026 & 4/11/2026
Lettice Duffet is an indefatigable but daffy enthusiast of history and the theatre. As a tour guide at Fustian House, she theatrically embellishes its historical past, ultimately coming up on the radar of Lotte Schon, an inspector from the Preservation Trust. The two start a curious friendship, resulting in an epic battle of historical theatrics, quirky make-believe, and possible criminal charges. A show that proves that opposites do attract — or, at least, agree to reenact some history together.
Ordinary Days Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon
Directed by Anne McEvoy
Show Dates: 5/22/2026 – 6/14/2026, with talk backs with director and cast on 5/23/2026, 5/31/2026 & 6/6/2026
Ordinary Days tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose lives intersect as they search for fulfillment, happiness, love, and cabs. Through a score of vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences ring startlingly true to life. Ordinary Days is an original musical for anyone who’s ever struggled to appreciate the simple things in a complex place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories combine in unexpected ways to make New York City such a unique and extraordinary home.
