The Judson Theatre Company’s production of “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial” has received glowing reviews from audiences, with Emmy Award-winning actor John Wesley Shipp and David A. Gregory delivering performances that have been described as “sharp, intense, and brilliantly acted.”
An enthusiastic theatergoer named Mark S. shared his review via NextDoor, stating: “It blew us away… sharp, intense, and brilliantly acted…The two leads delivered performances as strong as anything I’ve seen in professional theater, anywhere.”
The production, which opened on April 24, 2025, at the Bradshaw Performing Arts Center in Pinehurst, North Carolina, features Shipp and Gregory in the lead roles. The Instagram post from Judson Theatre Company highlights the positive audience reception and encourages theater lovers to secure tickets for the remaining performances through TicketMeSandhills.com.
The production image shows what appears to be a tense courtroom scene from the play, capturing the dramatic intensity that has captivated audiences.
John Wesley Shipp and David A. Gregory’s collaboration in this production marks a reunion for the two actors who previously worked together on the long-running soap opera “One Life to Live.” Their chemistry on stage has clearly translated into powerful performances that are resonating with audiences.
In an interview shared on social media, Shipp and Gregory discussed their history and current work on the production. The interviewer noted that speaking with the pair “feels like you’re talking to old friends,” highlighting the natural rapport between the actors that likely contributes to their on-stage chemistry.
John Wesley Shipp brings considerable star power to this production. The actor has enjoyed a diverse and successful career spanning television, film, and theater. He is perhaps best known to television audiences for playing Barry Allen/The Flash in the 1990 CBS series “The Flash” and later returning to the franchise in The CW’s newer iteration.
Shipp’s soap opera credentials are equally impressive, having appeared in prominent roles on “Guiding Light,” “As the World Turns” (for which he won two Daytime Emmy Awards), “One Life to Live,” and “All My Children.”
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is being produced by Morgan Sills with direction by Daniel Haley. The cast also includes Rick McDermott, Jacob Pressley, Matthew Tyler, Hamlin Raith, and Thomas Nash Tetterton.
Rehearsal photos shared on social media show the cast’s dedication to bringing Herman Wouk’s classic courtroom drama to life.
The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial is running for a strictly limited engagement from April 24-27, 2025, with only five performances scheduled. The production’s brief run and positive word of mouth have created urgency around ticket sales.
For those interested in experiencing this acclaimed production, tickets remain available for the final performances through April 27, 2025, and can be purchased at TicketMeSandhills.com or through the Judson Theatre Company’s website.
