Theatre One Productions was created in 1982 in Middleboro and became a non profit Theatre Company in 1984. We performed 13 shows a season, as we had our own space, 7 of which were from our Children’s Theatre Workshop. We lost our space in 1988 and we went on the road in Lakeville and Plymouth producing Dinner Theatre, but after a while this developed into a enormous physical and financial drain on the company so we took a break. We came back in 2006 and now Theatre One offers 3 productions a year, along with a Fund Raiser and works out of the Alley Theatre directly behind the Burtwood School of Performing Arts, 133 Center Street Middleboro Ma. FREE parking at the Middleboro Town Hall parking lot. We hold auditions when needed. Season runs January to April, this year to March. Gen note, we DO NOT TAKE reservation UNLESS you have more than 4 in your party. If you have more than 4 in your party you may email [email protected], message us on Facebook or call 1-774-213-5193.

The audience itself plays the role of detective in this hilarious “relationship thriller” about love, lust and the power of deception. “It’s a play within a play within a play within a play within a psychiatrist’s office- a Chinese box full of tricks and surprises.” The Chicago Tribune.
