Grand Horizons
By Bess Wohl
​
March 14 - 23, 2025​
​
After fifty years of marriage, Nancy and Bill serenely decide to divorce, leaving their adult sons stunned and struggling to understand. All truths are revealed and secrets come to light in this hilarious, heartbreaking commentary on marriage, family, and the wisdom that comes with age—or not.​​
Torch Song
By Harvey Fierstein
​
June 6 - 15, 2025​​
​
In Torch Song – the two-act revival of Harvey Fierstein’s award-winning Torch Song Trilogy – the life of Arnold Beckoff, a torch song-singing, Jewish drag queen living in New York City, is dramatized over the span of the late 1970s and 1980s. Told with a likable, human voice, Torch Song follows Arnold’s odyssey to find happiness in New York. All he wants is a husband, a child, and a pair of bunny slippers that fit, but a visit from his overbearing mother reminds him that he needs one thing more: respect.
Buried Child

October 17 - 26, 2025
​
Through this macabre look at the American Midwestern family, we witness Dodge, Halie, and the sons fight to survive in a disintegrating household, where generational wounds and dark secrets bubble up to the surface. As Vince returns to the farmhouse in hopes of reclaiming a sense of identity, he uncovers the deep dysfunction, past sins, and repressed horrors that have marred his family history and that refuse to stay buried.
