Wait Until Dark

A nail-bitingly tense classic thriller! | JUNE 23 - JULY 9 | A new adaptation of the Broadway play that inspired the 1967 Academy Award-nominated film starring Audrey Hepburn.

Inside the quaint 1944 Greenwich Village basement apartment of Susan and Sam Hendrix, murder, secret identities, and a switchblade set the stage for this white-knuckle thriller that will leave you sleeping with the lights on. While Susan’s husband is away on business, a woman is murdered and a mystery begins to unravel, leaving Susan tangled up with a ruthless con man. As the climax builds, a battle of wits ensues and light becomes dark as the tables are turned in a deadly game of cat and mouse — all leading to this classic thriller's chilling conclusion.

“Wait Until Dark celebrates the Festival’s tradition of producing mystery thrillers that appeal to the entire family. This play is sure to please folks who love suspense and have been loyal fans of our Sherlock and Agatha Christie fare over these many decades”

— DINA JANIS, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
