2025/2026 Season
SEMINAR
March 26 – April 12, 2026
by Theresa Rebeck
In Seminar, a provocative comedy from Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck (most Broadway-produced female playwright), four aspiring young novelists sign up for private writing classes with Leonard, an international literary figure. Under his recklessly brilliant and unorthodox instruction, some thrive and others flounder, alliances are made and broken, sex is used as a weapon, and hearts are unmoored. The wordplay is not the only thing that turns vicious as innocence collides with experience in this biting comedy.

THE WAVERLY GALLERY
May 7 – 24, 2026
by Kenneth Lonergan
Gladys, the elderly matriarch of the Green family, has run an art gallery in a small Greenwich Village hotel for many years. The management wants to replace her less-than-thriving gallery with a coffee shop. Always irascible but now increasingly erratic, Gladys is a cause of concern to her daughter, her son-in-law, and her grandson, from whose point of view this poignant memory play is told. A wacky and heartrending look at the effect of senility on a family, The Waverly Gallery was a success in its premiere at New York’s Promenade Theatre, winning an Obie for legendary Eileen Heckart in the role of Gladys. Nineteen years later, the play premiered on Broadway, earning a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play and a Tony Award for 86-year-old leading actress Elaine May.

EUREKA DAY
October 2 – 19, 2025
by Jonathan Spector
Directed by Bill Coons
Featuring: Gordon Clapp, Danielle Cohen, Stephanie Jeane, Jammie Patton, and Jon Protas
The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE
December 4 – 21, 2025
by Ken Ludwig
Directed by Bill Coons
Featuring: Tommy Crawford and Allie Siebold
U.S. Army Captain Jack Ludwig, a military doctor stationed in Oregon, begins writing to Louise Rabiner, an aspiring actress and dancer in New York City, hoping to meet her someday if the war will allow. But as the war continues, it threatens to end their relationship before it even starts. Two-time Tony Award-winning playwright Ken Ludwig (Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery, Lend Me a Tenor) tells the heartwarming story of his parents’ courtship during World War II and the results are anything but expected. A joyous story for all to enjoy this holiday season!

Holed up in a stark motel room on the edge of the Mojave Desert, two former lovers unpack the deep secrets and dark desires of their tangled relationship, passionately tearing each other apart. Beaten down by ill-fated love and a ruthless struggle for identity, can they ultimately live with, or without, each other? Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Sam Shepard (True West, Buried Child, Curse of the Starving Class) brings us an explosive intense landmark myth of the new Wild West.
