THE 2025 SEASON
From high comedy of manners to gripping gothic horror, from epic romance to hysterical silliness, we’ve packed this season with something for everyone.
Audiences are in for a lot of surprises this season. These are not dusty, old, museum-piece versions of the classics. These timeless classics and adaptations are crackling with electricity and bring a freshness that makes them feel visceral and of the moment. The seismic shifts these characters experience — some humorous, some tragic — send out aftershocks that are sure to ignite your imagination. We invite you to experience Broadway-caliber theatre right in your own backyard without the bridge or tunnel and without the Broadway prices. I know you’ll be glad you came.
