THE 2026-2027 SEASON

		The Secret Garden; December 4 – 27, 2026; preview Dec. 3 This enchanting classic of children’s literature has been reimagined for the stage in brilliant musical style. Orphaned in India, 11-year-old Mary Lennox returns to Yorkshire, England, and discovers a locked garden. Mary is determined to bring life to the garden once again. This is a beautiful story of renewal and forgiveness, perfect for the entire family this holiday season.  Single-show tickets and Family 4-Packs for The Secret Garden are now available.
		The Glass Menagerie; February 26 – March 21, 2027; preview Feb. 25 This beloved play tells the story of the Wingfield family as remembered many years later by son, Tom. Set during the Great Depression, Tom struggles between the pull of obligations and the strong urge to leave them all behind and start his life afresh. The Glass Menagerie is the most revived Broadway play of all time, and for good reason. It is the definition of an American classic.
		August Wilson’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom; April 30 – May 16, 2027; preview Apr. 29 In this play, audiences are transported to a run-down Chicago recording studio, where the famous “Mother of the Blues” is set to record her newest album. Much more than just music goes down in this riveting drama from August Wilson.  This play contains themes of racism and includes racial slurs (the N-word), strong profanity, acts of violence, intimate moments of kissing, and discussions about sexual content. Recommended for teens and up, but use your parental discretion.
		The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee; June 4 – 20, 2027; preview June 3 In this charming and subversive musical comedy, adult performers hilariously portray adolescents as they compete for the coveted annual spelling bee trophy. Filled with touching tales of growing up, all the awkwardness of puberty, and a dictionary’s worth of definitions, this riotously funny musical will leave audiences utterly C-H-A-R-M-E-D. Get ready for the bee!
