The Wild Party
Book, Music, & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa
Based On The Poem by Joseph Moncure March
Directed/Choreographed by Valerie Martin
Music Direction by Ashley Jones Rivers
September 5th-21st, 2025
 
“Based on Joseph Moncure March’s 1928 narrative poem of the same name, this darkly brilliant show features one of the most exciting, pulse-racing scores ever written. Lovers Queenie and Burrs decide to throw the party-to-end-all-parties in their Manhattan apartment. After the colorful arrival of a slew of guests living life on the edge, Queenie’s wandering eyes land on a striking man named Black. As the decadence is reaching a climax, so is Burrs’ jealousy, which erupts and sends him into a violent rage. Gun in hand and inhibitions abandoned, Burrs turns on Queenie and Black. The gun gets fired, but who’s been shot?” (Music Theatre International)

Suite Surrender
Written by Michael McKeever
Directed by Bob Hart
October 31st-November 16th, 2025
 

“It’s 1942, and two of Hollywood’s biggest divas have descended upon the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel — assistants, luggage, and legendary feud with one another in tow. Everything seems to be in order for their wartime performance…that is, until they are somehow assigned to the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and a lap dog named Mr. Boodles round out this hilarious riot of a love note to the classic farces of the 30s and 40s.” (Playscripts)
 
 

The Father
Written by Florian Zeller
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Dave Martin
February 6th-22nd, 2026
 

“Now 80 years old, André was once a tap dancer. He lives with his daughter, Anne, and her husband, Antoine. Or was André an engineer, whose daughter Anne lives in London with her new lover, Pierre? The thing is, he is still wearing his pyjamas, and he can’t find his watch. He is starting to wonder if he’s losing control.” (Dramatists Play Service)
 
 

The Minutes
A play by Tracy Letts
Directed by Emily Bridges
March 27th-April 12th, 2026
 

“This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s loser.” (Concord Theatricals)

Conceived by Kwame Kwei-Armah & Shaina Taub
Music and Lyrics by Shaina Taub
Directed by Ashton Botts
Music Direction by Ashley Jones Rivers
May 29th-June 14th, 2026
 
“…a rousing contemporary musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic romantic comedy about mistaken identity and self-discovery.
Twelfth Night tells the story of Viola, a young heroine who washes up on the shores of Illyria, disguises herself as a man, is sent to court a countess and falls hard for a Duke. As she navigates this strange and wonderful new land, she finds her true self and true love in the process.” (Concord Theatricals)
