Winner of two Tony Awards and hailed as “electrifying, visceral, and stunning” by The Hollywood Reporter, you’ll live, you’ll learn, and you’ll love Jagged Little Pill. 

Eureka Day

November 5 – 22, 2026

By Jonathan Spector

Directed by Allie Moss

Winner of the 2025 Tony Award and hailed as “comic gold” by Time Out New York, you won’t want to miss a laugh-out-loud moment of Jonathan Spector’s razor-sharp satire Eureka Day. At Eureka Day, a proudly progressive private elementary school in California, inclusion reigns supreme, and every decision must satisfy everyone—until a sudden mumps outbreak throws the community into turmoil. What begins as polite discussion quickly erupts into sharp debate and full-blown meltdown. As facts become subjective and every solution divisive, the school’s leadership is left to confront the central question of our time: how do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?  

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

John Proctor is the Villain

February 25 – March 14, 2027

By Kimberly Belflower

Directed by Leda Hoffmann

At Helen County High in rural Georgia, five young women—fueled by pop music, optimism, and fury—are about to upend their one-stoplight town. As their English class studies The Crucible, rumors, scandals, and hard questions push the students to challenge the stories they’ve been taught and reconsider who gets to be called a hero. Nominated for seven Tony Awards, John Proctor Is the Villain has been hailed as “a vital, hilarious, thrilling, and urgently necessary new play” by The New York Times and “a heart-wrenching, guttural, cathartic masterpiece” by Variety. With biting humor and deep emotional force, playwright Kimberly Belflower captures a generation in mid-transformation, discovering that their future is not bound by the past.
