Season 2025-2026
Hello Dolly!
by Michael Stewart & Jerry Herman
Based on the play The Matchmaker by Thornton Wilder
April 17-19 & 24-26, 2026
Dede Robertson Theatre
In 1890s New York, a half-a-millionaire is quite the catch. Dolly Levi, professional matchmaker, meddler, and money-follower, secretly schemes to marry the rich Horace Vandergelder herself. She enlists his hapless employees in the plot, matching them up with two sophisticated milliners. Featuring the iconic song “Hello, Dolly!”, dancing waiters, and a boisterous parade, this popular hit musical has starred the likes of Carol Channing, Barbra Streisand, and Bette Midler on stage and in film.
Hello Dolly! is presented by arrangement with TAMS-WITMARK, a Concord Theatricals Company. www.concordtheatricals.com

Murder on the Orient Express
October 2-4 & 9-11, 2026
Dede Robertson Theatre
Just after midnight, a snowdrift stops the Orient Express in its tracks. The luxurious train is surprisingly full for the time of the year, but by the morning it is one passenger fewer. An American tycoon lies dead in his compartment; his door locked from the inside. Isolated and with a killer in their midst, the passengers rely on detective Hercule Poirot to identify the murderer – before he or she strikes again.
Mr. Dickens’ Hat
Written and composed by Michael Hollinger
December 4-6 & 11-13, 2026
Studio Theatre
In a cozy Victorian shop sits the hat of Charles Dickens, the one he famously used to carry water to victims of a train wreck. When a pair of bumbling thieves plots to steal it, young Kit sets out to foil their plan, save the hat, and free her father from debtors’ prison. This warm winter’s tale is filled with charming carols, lovable characters, and loads of good cheer!
Antigone
Written by Sophocles
February 12-14 & 19-21, 2027
Studio Theatre
The civil war has ended. Two rival brothers lie dead. King Creon declares that one shall receive a hero’s burial; the other will remain disgraced and unburied at the city gates. Antigone, sister of the fallen brothers, finds the decree an offense to the gods and acts at great cost. What happens when one must choose between human law and divine law? This bold reimagining of a classic Greek myth poses provocative questions about justice and mercy for a contemporary audience.
Cinderella
Music by Richard Rodgers
Book & Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II
April 16-18 & 23-25, 2027
Dede Robertson Theatre
A pumpkin coach, a fairy godmother, and a glass slipper…it’s the recipe for the world’s most famous fairy tale. This timeless enchantment is reborn through the legendary work of Rodgers & Hammerstein. With dazzling sets, lavish costumes, and a soaring score, you’ll be savoring the magic long past the stroke of midnight. Experience anew this inspiring tale of resilience and the transformative power of kindness.
