Night of One Acts!

Chaplin & Underdog: The Other Other Brontë

Together with one ticket.

Milton Theatre Company, the 2026 Shuler Award winner for Best Overall Production, now presents a one-act play of Underdog: The Other Other Brontë and the one-act musical of Chaplin. 

The performance begins with the one-act play Underdog: The Other Other Brontë, a clever, irreverent look at literary sisters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Brontë—exploring ambition, rivalry, and the question of who gets remembered by history. Then, the one-act musical Chaplin follows the extraordinary rise of silent-film legend Charlie Chaplin, from an impoverished childhood to worldwide fame, bringing his humor, resilience, and iconic Little Tramp to life through music and movement.

Show Times:

October 23: 7:00 PM
