In October we will be performing, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, written by Simon Stephens. This award-winning play is based on the Mark Haddon novel of the same name.
The story is about a 15-year-old boy named Christopher. He is a mathematical genius with an autism spectrum disorder who tries to solve the mystery surrounding the death of his neighbor’s poodle.
Christopher may be exceptional at mathematics, but he is ill-equipped to interpret everyday life. He has never ventured alone beyond the end of his road, he detests being touched, and he distrusts strangers. At 7 minutes after midnight Christopher stands beside his neighbor’s dead dog, Wellington, who has been speared with a garden fork. Finding himself under suspicion, Christopher is determined to solve the mystery of who murdered Wellington, and he carefully records each fact of the crime. But his detective work, forbidden by his father, takes him on a thrilling journey that upturns his world.

We have an amazing 2024 season lined up for you at the Iron Horse Community Theatre.
In June we will perform the world premiere play, The Golden Rose. The Golden Rose, written by London Cain, is an intriguing story about a 19th century religious group called the Harmonists. The Harmonists tried to create a utopian society in the nearby area called, Old Economy. This suspenseful true story will educate, surprise, shock, and entertain you.
Then in August we perform a play called, Painting Churches. Painting Churches, written by Tina Howe, was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The play is about the relationship between an artist daughter and her aging parents.
In October we will be performing, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, written by Simon Stephens. This award-winning play is based on the Mark Haddon novel of the same name.

OUR MISSION:
The mission of the Iron Horse Theatre Company is to provide thought provoking and entertaining theater that will enrich the cultural life in what is now known as the "rust belt" area of southwestern Pennsylvania. We will provide the people of this community the opportunity to not only attend, but also to participate in quality presentations and theatrical works. The symbolic name, "Iron Horse" represents the hard-working and "iron-willed" people in this part of the world. It is in this spirit that we will create theatrical experiences that celebrate the grit, determination, and strength of the human character.
