“The Company has come into its own over the last four seasons,” said Carl Del Buono , founding artistic director of The Company Theatre of Rochester, Inc. “We're looking forward to taking on new challenges and bringing audiences and artists together to share in some truly life-affirming theatre in season five. With our thematic throughline, ‘A Closer Look,' we're taking a more intimate, almost voyeuristic approach to the storytelling. It's as if you're looking through windows, or overhearing private conversations.”

by Thornton Wilder Directed by Brodie McPherson Sept. 4–20, 2026

In this quintessential American play, audiences are transported to the small town of Grover's Corners, New Hampshire, at the turn of the century. As its inhabitants navigate life, love, and loss, they invite the audience to share in the beauty of the everyday.

by Lanford Wilson Directed by Carl Del Buono Nov. 6–22, 2026

In this searing and humorous dark comedy, Anna and Larry mourn the loss of their roommate, Robbie. When Robbie's brother, Pale, chaotically crashes into the roommates' lives, he brings unexpected comfort—and romantic complications.

by John Patrick Shanley Directed by Sara Bickweat Penner Jan. 22 – Feb. 7, 2027

Tensions run high at a 1960s Catholic school in the Bronx as a stern principal, Sister Aloysius, begins to have suspicions about a new priest, Father Flynn. As Aloysius digs deeper, she attempts to bring the truth to light while confronting abuses of power—and moral ambiguities—within the Church.

by Frances Hodgson Burnett Adapted and Directed by Carl Del Buono Co-directed by Mandi Lynn Griffith April 9–25, 2027

In this original adaptation, The Company Theatre breathes new life into the classic children's novel. When spoiled orphan Mary Lennox is left to the care of her cold and elusive uncle, Lord Archibald Craven, her exploration of his Yorkshire manor uncovers hidden family mysteries—and a neglected, locked-away garden.

by William Shakespeare Directed by Rachel Solomon June 4–20, 2027

In this pastoral Shakespearean comedy, cousins Rosalind and Celia—disguised and fleeing persecution—make for the Forest of Arden. Within the wilderness and among a band of misfits, they discover the power of love and find truth in illusion: all the world's a stage.

“We will continue having our traditional ‘pay-what-you-wish' and ASL-interpreted performances, as well as our popular post-show talkbacks with the casts and creatives for each production,” Del Buono said.
