Regional Premiere

Maybe the adults need a time out.

Uh-Oh. A virus has hit the elite Eureka Day elementary school. An outbreak is near. Now the school board must meet with the pack of parents to find an ethical solution. But when the ultra-progressive Eureka community cannot agree, this beacon of open-minded ideals quickly spirals into chaos. Truth is a weapon and facts are subjective in this apt and hilarious satire of national proportions.

Meet people who think like you do!

Herzlich Willkommen! In the golden summer of 1938, two teenagers meet at a real-life Long Island camp. She is lonely and unassuming, he is energetic and bright-eyed. As their innocent attraction deepens, it's gradually poisoned by the camp's ideology. Intrigue turns to indoctrination as the youths find themselves on a collision course towards unbridled extremism. At the dawn of a world war, young love blooms in the seductive soil of pride.

A Rolling World Premiere

Where there's a way.

Shakespeare is stuck. His theater is shut down, a plague looms, his love life is a mess, and he has the worst case of writer's block. What's a Bard to do? Enter a sleazy brothel-owner with a proposition. As plans take motion and lovers plot, the idea for a new kind of play reveals itself. Inspired by real events, this comic-fantasy imagines the origin of Shakespeare's final plays and proves that it's never too late to start again. I, Will: A Late Romance is witty, theatrical, accessible, and a special chance to witness the beginning of a new play's history.

Text by John Cameron Mitchell , with music and lyrics by Stephen Trask

Come get your inch scratched, darling!

She's finally here! From East Berlin to Junction City comes an electric tale of glitter, grit, and gnosis. On a revenge tour across the nation, punk icon Hedwig Robinson - backed by her band, the Angry Inch - recounts her high-octane journey in search of her other half. With a pulsing rock score, this groundbreaking smash-hit musical triumph is for anyone who has felt that life gave them an inch when they deserved a mile.

JUN 9 - 27, 2026

Regional Premiere

In the home of the brave, freedom must be claimed.

It's 1865 and slavery has been abolished. Godspeed is now free to return to Texas - with a revolver, one bullet, and vengeance on her mind. Joined by a Mexican gunslinger and her drunk former enslaver, she sets off on a perilous frontier journey. But a new discovery makes her question if the vendetta she desires is the justice she seeks. In the spirit of a classic Western, this timely tale invites audiences on an epic, heroic adventure.

Regional Premiere

Dinner at eight. Murder at midnight.

On a dark and stormy night - Egads! - there's been a murder at the Claythorne estate. The family all have alibis, but someone is lying. When a (junior) detective arrives on the scene, it's clear that everyone is a suspect. Between jealous sisters, a dim fiancé, a pompous author, and a sharp-eyed widow, motives abound and the culprit could be anyone. Murder's a family affair in this clever, laugh-out-loud whodunnit parody.

by Peter Rothstein , vocal arrangements by Erick Lichte, Timothy C. Takach

Back by popular demand.

On the front lines, a miracle of harmony.

Christmas Eve. World War I. The Western Front. In the silent night, a lone soldier steps into no man's land to sing. Thus begins a remarkable true story. At war with each other, would-be enemies come together to share a holiday of camaraderie and peace. Witness this forgotten historical event, as soldiers from both sides unite their voices in this a cappella musical, told in the words and songs of those who lived it.

About the season, Executive Producer Dana Schultes said the lineup was designed to balance entertainment with deeper thematic exploration.

Season tickets are now on sale.
