In June, we begin our 2026 season with Copenhagen, written by Michael Frayn. Copenhagen is based on a true event that occurred in 1941. The play is about a meeting between two great scientists, Niels Bohr and
Werner Heisenberg, who revolutionized the atomic age and find themselves on opposite sides of world war II.
The show dates are as follows: June 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, 26, and 27.
All show times start at 7:30 except the Sunday matinee on June 21. The Sunday Matinee start show time is 2:00 PM.
Tickets: $20.00 / $18.00 seniors (64+)
Jim, a corrupt ex-Congressman battling with his conscience, stews in solitary confinement. He is visited by Lisa, a mysterious woman who attempts to make him re-evaluate his life but struggles to get him to see the light. There are three distinct and complicated characters: Jim, who yearns to do good but cannot admit his wrongs; Lisa who plays devil's advocate to win Jim to her side; and the sympathetic Correction Officer who has overcome his own dark past to find stability. The play is an emotional rollercoaster with striking visual images that reveal each of the characters’ impassioned states of mind.
Trapped, a drama written by London Cain, stars Frank Annese. Frank is an actor, director, and producer whose career spans more than twenty-five years across television, film, and theater. On screen, Frank appeared in some of the most iconic series of the 1980s and 1990s — 21 Jump Street, Baywatch, Dragnet, MacGyver, Knight Rider, The A-Team, L.A. Law, Murder, She Wrote, and many others — portraying characters who lived at the edges of conflict, authority, and moral tension. His film work, including Terror in the Sky, Another Chance, and Murphy’s Law continued that exploration of flawed men navigating systems larger than themselves.
Although Trapped is produced by the Iron Horse Theatre Company, it is not part of the regular season ticket plan. The play will be performed at the beautiful Kelly Strayhorn Theater . The address is:
5941 Penn Ave.
Pittsburgh, Pa. 15206

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.
Your patronage and generous donations go directly to supporting this worthy mission. If you would rather give of your time please scroll to the bottom of the page and fill out the volunteering form.
