SUBSRIPTIONS
We’re back!
After two truncated seasons that were a mix of virtual and live performances with limited runs, distanced-seating, and modified subscriptions, we’re excited to open the Playhouse back up to full capacity for our 80th Season!
The 2022-2023 Season continues into next Spring with productions of GOD OF CARNAGE, CLUE: ONSTAGE, and the premiere of HOLLYWOOD, NEBRASKA, a new American play that we will be developing with New York-based playwright Kenneth Jones. Following two years of postponements, we are thrilled to finally restore THE SOUND OF MUSIC as our Holiday Show offering. In addition, the Junior Playhouse will present JUNIE B. JONES IS NOT A CROOK and GINGERBREAD, a new telling of the Hansel and Gretel story.
The best way to make sure that you don’t miss out on any of our great programming is to purchase a Season Subscription! For only $100, you can see the remaining four mainstage shows with preferred seating. Want something for the kids? Add on both Jr. Playhouse shows for only $20 more.
