VirtualTheatre
The COVID-19 pandemic has put us all in a very challenging position. For the time being we can’t do all the things we enjoy most. Keeping ourselves entertained while cooped up or adjusting to social distancing is not easy. Jewel Theatre Company has developed some performance content that you will be able to access online and enjoy from home. We’re calling it Virtual Theatre.
Jewel Theatre presents THE HITCH-HIKER by Lucille Fletcher as the first in a series of classic mystery/thriller radio plays produced exclusively for online viewing.

HEISENBERG
By Simon Stephens
Directed by Paul Mullins
Featuring Paul Whitworth and Erika Schindele
In a bustling London train station, an unexpected encounter between free-spirited American Georgie and Irish butcher Alex thrusts two strangers into a life-changing game. When she turns up in his shop a few days later, the suspicious Alex is drawn into Georgie’s anarchic world and his conventional life becomes chaotic, uncertain, and undeniably richer. In this “vibrant and emotionally charged” (The New York Times) new play from one of theater’s most original voices, Tony Award–winning playwright Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) triumphs with this surprising comedy-drama that rethinks the polar magnetism of opposites attracting.
“Arresting…Resonates in your mind long after it’s over.” – New York Times
