THE MOUSETRAP

September 5 - October 12, 2025

By Agatha Christie

Seven strangers are snowed in at a remote countryside house when they hear the news of a killer on the loose. Once the phone lines are cut and someone turns up dead, everyone is a suspect. Can they catch the killer before somebody else dies?

Full of the red herrings and plot twists that Christie is famous for, this classic whodunit mixes thrills, intrigue, twists and a dash of English silliness. Discover for yourself why Agatha Christie’s ingenious detective story is the longest-running play in the world.

LADY DAY AT EMERSON'S BAR AND GRILL

September 26 - November 2, 2025

By Lanie Roberts

The time is 1959. The place is a seedy bar in Philadelphia. The audience is about to witness one of Billie Holiday’s last performances, given four months before her death.

Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill takes you inside the heart of this unforgettable evening. With iconic songs like “Strange Fruit” and “God Bless the Child,” this intimate cabaret experience brings the soul and struggle of one of jazz’s greatest legends to life.

DISNEY'S FROZEN

November 21, 2025 - January 4, 2026

^{Music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez, book by Jennifer Lee.}^{Based on the Disney film written by Jennifer Lee and directed by Chris Buck & Jennifer Lee. Originally produced on Broadway by Disney Theatrical Productions.}

When the Snow Queen Elsa accidentally traps her kingdom in perpetual winter, only her younger sister Anna can break the icy spell. With the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home.

Frozen is a powerful tale of sisterhood, acceptance, and finding the real meaning of true love. Bring the whole family to experience this uplifting winter adventure!

ROMEO & JULIET

February 13 - March 29, 2026

By William Shakespeare

After a chance meeting, a forbidden romance is ignited between two young lovers. In their parents’ world of violent ends, Romeo and Juliet manage to forge a connection across enemy lines.

Romeo and Juliet is both a beautiful and poetic love story and a relevant, cautionary tale about the price of division and hate. In this contemporary production of Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy, an ensemble cast explores how all - especially the young - are punished when grudges and violence are the only language that those in power understand.

COME FROM AWAY

March 27 - May 10, 2026

By Irene Sankoff and David Hein

Based on an extraordinary true story, Come From Away chronicles how the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland played host to the world. Filled with traditional Irish folk music and stirring ballads, this breaktaking musical is a true celebration of hope, humanity and unity.

An average day turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes were diverted to Gander’s airstrip on September 11, 2001. Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family.
