MVCC's 'Mirth and Mayhem' at Schafer Theater, Utica, Nov. 12–14, 2026

Mohawk Valley Community College's Theater Arts program stages Mirth and Mayhem in Schafer Theater on the Utica campus (1101 Sherman Drive) on Thursday, Nov. 12 and Friday, Nov. 13, 2026 at 7 p.m., plus a Saturday, Nov. 14 matinee at 2 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the public and free for MVCC students at mvcc.edu/tickets, according to the college's announcement via the Utica Phoenix.

The show: Peter Walker's suspense thriller follows a group of young women who spend the night in a house where three murders once happened. Then a fourth one does, and nobody is sure who to trust. MVCC Assistant Professor Thomas Schink directs, and the play is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Good to know:

• Ticket money goes to MVCC's School of Art Scholarship Fund.
• No age guidance was published. It's a murder story, so think about that before bringing young kids.
• Coming to campus earlier that week? MVCC's Fall Open House is Friday morning, Nov. 13, at the same campus.
