It is December 1936, and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role in the play Sherlock Holmes, has invited his fellow cast members to his Connecticut castle for a weekend of revelry. But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
January 16 at 11am and 2pm - Dance at the ball with Cinderella and challenge the giant with Jack and the Beanstalk as these stories come to life in front of your very eyes! Fun and interactive, this show is great for younger audiences or anyone who is young at heart. (Bright Star Children's Theatre)

Come From Away is a musical based on the true events following September 11, 2001, when 38 planes were unexpectedly grounded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland. Nearly 7,000 stranded passengers— “come from aways”—were welcomed by the town and surrounding area residents, who opened their homes, schools, and hearts to complete strangers.
PCT's director, Jeff Corriveau, visited Gander for six days to bring the spirit of Gander to Newport News. Read more about what he found and how it will make PCT's production stand out amongst the others.
Brian Mosher, retired Gander Collegiate teacher and broadcaster, is coming to Newport News on the first weekend, February 26 - 28. Brian hosted live cable TV shows in Gander providing information and updates during that crucial time. Read more about Brian and the talk-back events.
