Upcoming Productions
The Schoolcraft College Theatre Department and the James R. Hartman Theatre proudly present our 2026-2027 Season with a bit of British nostalgia in two well-established plays from the 20th century: THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND by Tom Stoppard, and BLITHE SPIRIT by Noël Coward.
THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND by Tom Stoppard
Directed by Paul Beer
Tom Stoppard’s THE REAL INSPECTOR HOUND is a hilarious parody of traditional whodunit murder mysteries with a crime within a crime and a twist within a twist. Stoppard was a hugely popular playwright and filmmaker with an Academy Award, three Laurence Olivier Awards, and five Tony Awards to his credit. Some of his best-known works include ROSENCRANTZ AND GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD and SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.
Performance dates: November 6 & 7 at 7:30 pm and November 7 at 2 pm.
BLITHE SPIRIT by Noël Coward
Directed by Michael Alan Herman
Noël Coward called his own BLITHE SPIRIT “an improbable farce in three acts.” Like many of his plays it skewers British high-brow society while giving the rest of us great laughs – this time featuring a car crash, a séance, and a pair of ghosts. In his long theatrical career, Coward was a playwright, composer, actor, and director, with over 35 plays, over a dozen musicals and revues, and twenty films (including film adaptations of his plays) to his credit.
Performance dates: April 9 & 10, 2027, at 7:30 pm and April 10 at 2 pm.
