Readington Community Theatre

Anatomy of a Murder

November 20-22, 2026

In a quiet town in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, a small-time lawyer is pulled into a sensational case that quickly grips the entire community. When a respected army lieutenant admits to killing a local bar owner, the facts seem simple — but the reasons behind the act are anything but.

As the trial unfolds, the courtroom becomes a battleground of sharp legal minds, conflicting testimonies, and deeply personal motives. The defense challenges the boundaries between justice, morality, and human impulse, forcing the jury — and the audience — to question what truly drives a person to commit an unthinkable act.

Full of wit, tension, and surprising twists, Anatomy of a Murder is a gripping courtroom drama where every answer leads to a deeper question — and the truth may be far more complicated than anyone expects.
