US Premiere - TAKEN AT MIDNIGHT

Taken At Midnight poster: Jedlicka Performing Arts Center US Premiere, Mark Hayhurst, Feb 20-Mar 7, 2026

February 20th thru March 7th

The unquestionable love of a mother for her son is at the heart of this compelling new play. Fearless and indomitable she confronts his captors at enormous personal risk to fight for his release against the seemingly impossible might of the Nazi regime. 

This gripping drama explores the fragility of freedom and human rights: It serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating

how quickly freedoms can erode and how easily human rights can be trampled under the weight of an authoritarian regime.
