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!

"The Producers" - June 20-21 & 26-28, 2026
$10 General Admission • $5 Students/Seniors/Matinees
The plot is simple: a down-on-his-luck Broadway producer and his mild-mannered accountant come up with a scheme to produce the most notorious flop in history, thereby bilking their backers (all "little old ladies") out of millions of dollars. Only one thing goes awry: the show is a smash hit! The antics of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom as they maneuver their way fecklessly through finding a show (the gloriously offensive "Springtime for Hitler"), hiring a director, raising the money and finally going to prison for their misdeeds is a lesson in broad comic construction. At the core of the insanely funny adventure is a poignant emotional journey of two very different men who become friends.
Please Note: Plays may contain adult language & situations.
