Theatre Events
Each year, Jefferson College presents a variety of live theatre productions — from classic Shakespearean dramas to thrilling murder mysteries and high-energy musicals.
Students and community members are encouraged to audition, with casting details announced in advance through official audition notices. Not interested in acting? Volunteers are always welcome to be part of the magic behind the scenes — helping with set construction, lighting, sound, costumes, and more.
Whether you're on stage or behind the curtain, there's a place for you in the spotlight!
Euripides' Medea
October 10-13, 2024
In a version by Ben Power
I choose to take back my life. My life. Medea is a wife and a mother. When her husband abandons his family for a new life, she exacts an appalling revenge and destroys everything she holds dear.
The Video Gamapalooza
February 27–March 2, 2025
By Don Zolidis
A wild and rollicking ride through the history of arcade games, computer games, and newfangled apps! Join a crusty Gen-X-er longing for the good ol’ days and a plucky youngster who has downloaded the good old days on their phone in 12 seconds as they visit the emotional intensity of Pong, the groundbreaking nature of Ms. Pac-Man, the torturous love affairs of Mario, and the real estate development smash: Minecraft.
Pump Boys and Dinettes
June 13-15 & 20-22, 2025
By John Foley, Mark Hardwick,
Debra Monk, Cass Morgan,
John Schimmel, and Jim Wann
The "Pump Boys" sell high octane on Highway 57 in Grand Ole Opry country and the "Dinettes," Prudie and Rhetta Cupp, run the Double Cupp diner next door. Together they fashion an evening of country western songs that received unanimous raves on and off Broadway. With heartbreak and hilarity, they perform on guitars, piano, bass and, yes, kitchen utensils.
