September 4 - October 11, 2026

By William Goldman, adapted from the novel by Stephen King

When your number-one fan is your number-one threat. 

After a roadside accident, author Paul Sheldon wakes up incapacitated in the home of sweet yet menacing Annie Wilkes, his “number one fan” - who isn’t happy at all with his latest work. At Annie’s mercy after the crash, Paul realizes her adoration leans more toward obsession… and he finds himself writing for his life. 

Based on the bestselling book by Stephen King that inspired the Oscar winning film, the tense cat-and-mouse game will grip you until the very end. 

 

September 25 - November 1, 2026

By Neil Simon

Falling in love was so easy, but living together is hard. 

They always say opposites attract. In Neil Simon’s beloved romantic comedy, free-spirited Corie and uptight Paul have barely returned from their honeymoon only to have their love put to the test by their problem-filled NYC apartment. Corie wants Paul to be more spontaneous and do things like run “barefoot in the park,” and Paul just wants to get a good night’s sleep.

One of the longest-running plays in Broadway history turned into an iconic film starring Jane Fonda and Robert Redford, Barefoot in the Park has the perfect recipe for laughter.

November 20, 2026 - January 3, 2027

Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lyrics by Tim Rice

A colorful, family-fun musical adventure!

Get ready for a vibrant holiday treat! When Joseph begins to have vivid visions of the future, his jealous brothers sell him into slavery. But the rockstar Pharoah hears of Joseph’s gift, sending him on a journey that’s a joyous explosion of catchy tunes, dazzling colors, and irresistible energy.

Filled with upbeat songs ranging from country western to bubblegum pop, energetic choreography, and one amazingly colorful coat, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is a feast for the eyes, ears, and soul.

February 12, 2027 - March 28, 2027

By John Patrick Shanley

What is truth, and what is fiction? 

St. Nicholas Church School. The Bronx, 1964. Sister Aloysius, the school’s principal, starts to question Father Flynn’s relationship with a troubled young boy. As the progressive priest and traditional nun are drawn into a battle of wills, this riveting psychological drama raises more questions than it answers.

Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize, and Tony Award for Best Play, Doubt: A Parable is an engrossing mystery about the perils of moral certainty. Faith, truth, and doubt weave a complex web that challenges you to question what you believe long after the play has ended.
