Hauptmann at Steeple Playhouse

The kidnapping and murder of aviator Charles Lindbergh’s infant son takes the spotlight in “Hauptmann,” on Nov. 6-15 at Steeple Playhouse. The drama revisits one of the nation’s most notorious criminal cases through the eyes of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who was convicted and executed in 1936.
Through flashbacks, Hauptmann recounts his story while six corrections officers portray more than 30 characters. The production explores questions surrounding his guilt and whether he was wrongly executed. Lawrence R. Houbre Jr. directs.
Performances are Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 6-7 and 13-14, at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays, Nov. 8 and 15, at 2 p.m. Tickets range from $5 to $45, with reduced-price options available.
