Thalian Hall Main Stage
An original one-act play.
Written by Mack Webb
The Varsity Line was an English train route that ran between Oxford and Cambridge for many years. In 1938, a new articulated three-carriage diesel railcar was introduced. During its first few trips, the train was rarely used because new things are frightening. This play is set during one of those early trips. A varied cast of characters - siblings returning from a funeral, an aging lecturer, railway employees, and two famous detectives - learn that there is a safe full of money on the train, along with at least one train robber. This play is a screwball comedy farce in the spirit of “It Happened One Night,” or perhaps “Airplane!” on the Orient Express.
Directed by Bo Webb
Stage Managed by Terri Hsu
We are proud to produce this original work written by Wilmington native Mack Webb.
May 14-24, 2026
The Red Box at Thalian Hall
Book, Music & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based on the poem by Joseph Moncure March
Andrew Lippa’s The Wild Party is a dazzling prohibition tale set in the roaring 1920s. With an incredible score that swings from sultry jazz to electric belts, it’s a dark, steamy musical as intoxicating as its name. Notably, The Wild Party will play performances in The Red Box, a new venue in the former City Hall Chambers upstairs at Thalian Hall.
Directed by Kendra Goehring
