Announcing the 26-27 Season
Spring is in the air, things are greening up, and there is a sense of growth and renewal. It’s appropriate that this is also the time of year when we unveil the shows for our upcoming 2026–2027 50th Anniversary Season!
We’ll be bringing you a tremendous lineup of six musicals and plays. With our 50th season in mind, we have brought together nostalgic classics alongside new and thought-provoking shows. In addition to the regular season, we are pleased to continue some new traditions, including producing an edgy show in the fall and bringing back the Musical in Concert concept after a year’s absence.
Regular season:
- Pirates! The Penzance Musical
- Holiday show – TBA May 25
- On Golden Pond
- Conscience
- The 39 Steps
- Come from Away
Bonus shows:
- Lizzie
- The Light in the Piazza – in concert

Crafting a well-rounded season that speaks to the variety of voices in our community is one of the most challenging things we do each year. The process takes months, and sometimes, when we think we’ve found the perfect show or shows, the curtain quickly falls when we discover the rights aren’t available due to a national tour or a nearby professional production. Occasionally we have to wait to announce a show for the same reasons - I’m looking over the rainbow at you, December family musical.
I sometimes describe season selection as being like giving birth to a child. It’s exciting and new, but also scary because you want it to be perfect, and you don’t want to mess it up.
We hope you will join us on this exciting journey throughout our upcoming 50th season.
