2026-2027 SEASON SHOWS
THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG
Festival Stage | Recommended for Ages 8+
By Jonathan Sayer, Henry Lewis, & Henry Shields
A hilarious, fast-paced farce that’s part Agatha Christie and part Monty Python
It’s opening night of the mystery The Murder at Haversham Manor, and everything is going wrong. The leading lady can’t stay awake, the corpse can’t stay dead, and the set is barely staying upright. The show must go on, but will the actors and crew survive? This uproarious, smash-hit comedy that Entertainment Weekly calls “nonstop pandemonium” is sure to bring the house down (literally)!
August Wilson's FENCES
Octagon Stage | Recommended for Ages 14+
By August Wilson
Produced in association with Theatrical Outfit and Dominion Entertainment
A powerful Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning modern classic from “Theatre’s Poet of Black America”
Troy Maxon was a gifted Negro League baseball player with dreams of joining the Majors, but now he barely makes ends meet as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. While he builds a fence around his home to keep his family together, his anguish over his own shattered dreams threatens to tear them apart. Variety hails this acclaimed family drama as “a masterpiece.”

Festival Stage | Recommended for Ages 14+ Story by Caleen Sinnette Jennings, Elkin Antoniou G, & Chelsea Marie Davis. Music by Chelsea Marie Davis & Victoria Theodore. Lyrics by Chelsea Marie Davis & Emily Ruth Hazel. Book by Caleen Sinnette Jennings & Elkin Antoniou G
Before Lady Day. Before Tina. There was Marian.
By 1939, the world-famous, Black contralto Marian Anderson had toured Europe to rave reviews, but she was denied a stage in Washington, D.C. When she was offered a chance to sing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Marian gave the first-ever integrated concert in our nation’s capital, demonstrating that one voice can make history. This inspirational new musical explores the struggles and triumphs of a legendary opera singer and civil rights leader.
William Shakespeare's AS YOU LIKE IT
Festival Stage | Recommended for Ages 12+
By William Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s sweetest romantic comedy
Exiled from Duke Frederick’s court, Rosalind flees for her life to the Forest of Arden, disguised in men’s clothes to stay safe. The forest is an idyllic – but peculiar – haven, filled with quirky characters, mistaken identities, and romantic entanglements, and Rosalind soon finds herself engaged in a chaotic courtship while masquerading as a man. Shakespeare’s theatrical love letter to romance, wit, and nature proves that “all the world’s a stage.”
THE ROCKET MEN
Octagon Stage | Recommended for Ages 14+
By Crystal Skillman
A new twist on the true story of the immigrant scientists who took us to the Moon and established Huntsville, AL, as “”Rocket City”
Six women play the roles of the former Nazi scientists who switched allegiances, moved to Huntsville, and became the backbone of NASA’s space program. As Wernher von Braun and his team develop rockets that defy gravity, a young, Jewish engineer forces them to grapple with the gravity of their pasts. This inventive new work unravels buried truths behind the origin of the space race.

JULY 7 – AUG 8, 2027
