Mrs. Christie @McCarter Theatre
Sunday May 17, 2026
2:00 PM
In 1926, Agatha Christie vanished, then reappeared eleven days later without explanation. It was a tabloid sensation—a mystery that remains unsolved nearly a century later. In 2026, Christie superfan Lucy makes the pilgrimage to the author’s estate. When she happens upon an unpublished diary written in Christie’s own hand, Lucy resolves to crack the case once and for all. In parallel storylines that blend past and present, Mrs. Christie proves that sometimes you need to disappear in order to find yourself.

Lecture: Christian Reflections on the American Revolution, Nassau Presbyterian Church
Sunday May 17, 2026
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM
University of Notre Dame professor emeritus Mark Noll presents the first of a five-lecture series hosted by Nassau Presbyterian Church to mark the nation's 250th anniversary.
During the American Revolution, King George III called the drive for independence “the Presbyterian Rebellion,” and loyalists blamed “the damned Presbyterians” for starting it. Nassau Presbyterian, as First Presbyterian Church, was home to two signers of the Declaration of Independence—Witherspoon and Richard Stockton—five members of the Continental Congress, including Jonathan Dickinson Sergeant, who wrote New Jersey’s new 1776 State Constitution in church pewholder Robert Stockton’s house, and provided most of its male members to the war effort as state leaders or soldiers. It had just one Tory in its congregation.
Nassau Presbyterian Church will host the five-lecture Samuel Adams Herr Semiquincentennial Series to mark the 250th anniversary of the nation’s birth and the unique role Presbyterians played in moving New Jersey from indifference to independence.
