EDWARD ALBEE’S WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF?
September 12 – 28, 2025
An American classic set on the campus of a small, liberal arts university in New England. George and Martha stumble home after a faculty party and invite a new professor and his wife over for drinks. What begins as “fun and games” becomes a battle of wits and power dynamics, challenging our illusions about love, marriage, and the stories we cling to in order to survive. Directed by Adam Knight and featuring Tim Budd and Kristy Hartsgrove Mooers
EUREKA DAY
by Jonathan Spector
October 24 – November 9, 2025
At the Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, the board of directors meets in the library to deal with a crisis: an outbreak of mumps among the students. When the school’s vaccine policy becomes front and center, battle lines are drawn, misinformation flies, and consensus turns slippery as misinformation spreads faster than the virus. A sharply funny, painfully timely comedy—and the 2025 Tony Award winner for Best Revival of a Play. Directed by Kathleen Johnson
THE MOUSETRAP
by Agatha Christie
November 28 – December 14, 2025
A timeless “who done it” with a twist ending that has famously been performed for 70+ years on London’s West End. When a young couple opens a bed and breakfast on the English countryside, their first guests turn out to be six odd and shadowy figures, each with secrets to hide. A snowstorm cuts the house off from the outside world just as a notorious murderer is revealed to be on the loose, and each guest becomes a suspect.

FAIR STATE
World Premiere!
Written & Performed by Megan Gogerty
January 22 – February 1, 2026
When comedian Megan Gogerty loses her charming, unreliable, alcoholic father, she unearths evidence of her family’s ancestral ties to the founding of the state of Iowa. Were they hearty immigrants making a new life on the frontier? Or a collection of self-satisfied boot-strappers complicit in destruction and erasure? (Why choose?) As she examines Iowa’s past, she lays bare the secrets that haunt her and her sisters. What do we do with our problematic relatives? With our problematic history? We tell the truth.
PRIMARY TRUST
by Eboni Booth

Awarded the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this play tells the heartwarming story of Kenneth, a 30-something man working in a small town at a small bookstore, who spends his evenings drinking mai-tais at a Tiki bar – and chatting with his imaginary friend. When the bookstore closes, Kenneth embarks on a journey of self-discovery and lands a job at the local bank, where he finds the kind of real connections that have always eluded him.
