Harriton Theater Company
Welcome to the 2024-25 Season!
Our 2024-2025 Season
Harriton Theater Company is excited to present 3 amazing shows this season!
Fall Play: The 39 Steps
Richard Hannay is an average guy who gets caught up in a wild adventure when a mysterious woman with a dangerous secret enters his life. As he races across 1935 England, trying to uncover the meaning of the “39 Steps” and prove his innocence, Hannay dodges both the police and menacing spies. Along the way, he learns that in this crazy chase, the most unexpected allies might just hold the key to his survival.
Spring Musical: Something Rotten!
It’s 1595, and Nick and Nigel Bottom are struggling playwrights stuck in Shakespeare’s shadow. Desperate for a hit, they turn to a quirky soothsayer who predicts the future of theater: musicals! As they dive into creating the world’s first musical, hilarity ensues in the form of mistaken identities and romantic entanglements. But when Shakespeare catches wind of their plans, how will they outwit the Bard and keep their musical dreams alive?
The 2025 One Act Festival
HTC’s annual One Act Festival is a series of short plays directed, and sometimes written, by HTC seniors. A longtime HTC tradition, the One Acts give seniors an opportunity to experience the process of directing and putting together their own shows, as well as allowing actors to explore their talents in non-conventional roles.
