Welcome to our 107th Season!
Now with three stages and no intention of slowing down, this season is the largest and most ambitious in the company’s history, featuring eleven productions, including five Tony Award–winning musicals, two regional premieres and a world premiere. From the revolutionary spirit of Suffs to the wit of Kimberly Akimbo, the spectacle of Mary Poppins, the dark brilliance of Sweeney Todd, the sharp hilarity of Murder for Two, the historic intrigue of Churchill and Roosevelt: The Christmas That Saved the World, and the hilarious adventure of Monty Python’s Spamalot, this year of theatre offers something unforgettable for every kind of audience member.
We will also feature the world premiere of Stage Mother, a new musical where sequins meet soul, and the regional premiere of Unlock’d, a whimsical new musical bursting with charm and theatrical flair.
Our season reflects our belief that theatre should be bold in its honesty and fearless in its imagination. We are presenting stories that embrace complexity, celebrate identity, and encourage us to live with clarity and conviction. Whether through laughter, music, or deeply personal storytelling, each production reminds us that theatre is best when we experience it together. This is a season to lift your spirits.

Murder For Two
Aug 26 - Sept 20, 2026
When a famous novelist is murdered at his own birthday party, an eager police officer must interrogate all thirteen suspects, played by just one other actor. This wildly funny musical comedy is a non-stop sprint through suspects, accents, and a live piano score.
SUFFS
Oct 14 - Nov 29, 2026
This Tony Award-winning musical tells the electrifying true story of the women who fought for their right to vote. From suffragist icons like Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth to the young activists who carried the movement forward, Suffs brings one of history’s most important battles to life through a bold, contemporary score.
MARY POPPINS
Nov 18, 2026 - Jan 3, 2027
When the Banks family is in need of a miracle, a practically perfect nanny arrives with a magic carpet bag and an extraordinary gift for turning the ordinary into the unforgettable. This beloved stage musical brings the iconic story to life with spectacular songs, dazzling stagecraft, and a little bit of supercalifragilistic magic.

CHURCHILL AND ROOSEVELT
Jan 9 - Mar 28, 2027
In the days following Pearl Harbor, Winston Churchill traveled secretly to the White House for a Christmas that would shape the course of World War II. After captivating audiences with Churchill in our 2024/2025 Season, David Payne returns in this compelling new play exploring the unlikely friendship between Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt and the conversations that helped shape the Allied alliance.
Unlock'd
Jan 28 - Feb 21, 2027
This regional premiere is a charming new musical in which rival fairies and gnomes meddle in the love lives of four young royals at Hampton Court, setting off a whirlwind of romance, rivalry, and magical mischief. This witty pop musical blends a whimsical world with contemporary pop theatre and has been described as “A Midsummer Night’s Dream meets Mean Girls.” As schemes unravel and hearts collide, everyone must untangle their relationships and discover who they truly are.
Monty Python's Spamalot
Feb 17 - May 16, 2027
King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table set off on a wildly absurd quest to find the Holy Grail, encountering showgirls, killer rabbits, and a great deal of interference from the French along the way. Lovingly ripped off from “Monty Python and the Holy Grail”, this Tony Award-winning musical comedy is one of the funniest nights you’ll ever spend in a theatre.
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
Mar 17 - April 18, 2027
When a barber is wrongly exiled from London, he returns years later with revenge on his mind and a razor in his hand. With the help of the resourceful Mrs. Lovett and her struggling pie shop, he sets a plan in motion that the city will never forget. Stephen Sondheim’s darkly brilliant Tony Award-winning musical is a masterpiece of wit, menace, and unforgettable music.
stage mother
May 19 - Jun 20, 2027
A world premiere new musical about a small-town church choir director who unexpectedly inherits a drag club from her son, she finds herself caught between the world she knew and a vibrant new community she never expected to love.

KIMBERLY AKIMBO
Jun 16 - Jul 18. 2027
Kimberly is a wonderfully optimistic teenager navigating high school, a dysfunctional family, and a rare condition that causes her body to age four times faster than normal. This Tony Award-winning musical is a funny, deeply moving celebration of resilience, connection, and making the most of the time we have.
LEGALLY BLONDE
Jul 14 - Aug 22, 2027
When her boyfriend dumps her for someone more “serious,” Elle Woods does what any determined woman would do, she gets into Harvard Law School to win him back.

This high-energy, Tony Award-nominated musical is a joyful celebration of confidence, wit, and bending the rules.
The Fantasticks
Aug 11 - Aug 29, 2027
One of theatre’s most beloved musicals, this is a classic boy meets girl story with a twist. Two parents hatch a scheme to push their kids into falling in love by staging a fake feud, and it works… until it really doesn’t. Set to a memorable score featuring the iconic song “Try to Remember.”
