City Theater Company chases away the winter blues in 2025 with Wild Party

Weekends! Celebrate our 31st season with us at two original works in our home at the

Delaware Contemporary this February 7-15, 2025.


Diva Baby Does Delaware struts into CTC for weekend one. Addie Montgomery, last

seen as the titular character in Hedwig And The Angry Inch, is back and performing as

her alter ego Diva Baby. She leads a bevy of beauties from the Philly scene to bring

some capital "D" DRAG to her native Delaware. This intimate, cabaret-style drag show

features table seating, an in-theater bar, and all the fab that will fit in the First State.


Murder Manor invites guests to CTC for weekend two. Kristin Finger, recently caught

stealing the show in Spring Awakening and Assassins, helms Philly's wildest improvised

murder mystery experience. These completely unscripted shows are inspired by the

game of Clue and brought to life by performers from ComedySportz Philadelphia, the

city’s longest-running comedy sensation. Expect hilarity and hijinks in an

audience-involved whodunit while enjoying table seating and an in-theater bar.


Artistic Director Kerry Kristine McElrone is thrilled to be bringing this pair of original

shows to Wilmington for the first time, as part of CTC’s commitment to producing new

works and fostering relationships with area creators.


Says McElrone: “Pub-style theater is a hallmark of City Theater Company, back to our

founding in the upstairs venue at O’Friel’s Irish Pub. Both Addie and Kristin are actors

committed to their craft in ways that echo our creative mission to foster a welcoming,

collaborative environment for regional artists. We are excited to once more be bringing

an outside-the-(black)-box experience to our stage this season with Diva Baby Does

Delaware and Murder Manor.”


Shows directed, respectively, by Addie Montgomery and Kristin Finger. Lighting design

by Jason Burns. Stage Managed by Stuart Thomas. Promotional art by Addie

Montgomery, Kristin Finger, and Joe Trainor.
