The Play That Goes Wrong

April 9 - May 11
The intrepid thespians of the Cornley Drama Society are more or less ready to raise the curtain on the grandest production the village has ever seen, The Murder at Haversham Manor—until things go from bad to calamitous. There's an unconscious leading lady, a corpse that won't play dead, and actors who trip over everything (including their lines)—and that's only the first act. It's nothing you want in a show—and everything you want in a show!

2024-2025 Season Announcement

Scheduled from September 18, 2024 to May 11, 2025, our 52nd Season will bring a charming musical, soulful songs, full-blown farce, cherished classics, and more in the six-play lineup. Join us for a season of music, memories, and mayhem!

A New Artistic Adventure

Welcome to the IRT’s 51st Season! We are looking forward to celebrating this season with Margot Lacy Eccles Artistic Director Benjamin Hanna and Managing Director Suzanne Sweeney at the helm. We look forward to welcoming our community of audiences, donors, volunteers, staff and artists, while also extending our reach to welcome new audiences to our work.

help support IRT For Generations To Come

As a nonprofit theatre, the IRT relies on generous donors to cover nearly half of our production and programming costs. Donations of all sizes allow world-class theatre to continue on the IRT’s stages.

"I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing at least 20 different shows at the IRT. From hilarious farce comedies that bring laughter for days to heavy and poignant dramatic episodes that make you ponder… each and every performance is memorable in its own way."
