2026 Season Shows
Spring Lab Show: An Inspector Calls | February 13-22, 2026
A Chilling Mystery. A Powerful Moral Reckoning. An Unforgettable Night at the Theatre.
When a mysterious inspector arrives unannounced at an elegant dinner party, a prosperous family’s comfortable world begins to unravel. JB Priestley’s An Inspector Calls is a gripping thriller that pulls audiences into a web of secrets, lies, and moral responsibility.
Set in 1912 but startlingly relevant today, this classic play explores what we owe one another—and what happens when we choose to look away. As the inspector methodically reveals how each family member is connected to a young woman’s tragic death, the tension mounts, alliances fracture, and the truth becomes impossible to escape.
With sharp wit, mounting suspense, and a shocking final twist, An Inspector Calls is both a riveting mystery and a powerful call to conscience. Thought-provoking, fast-paced, and deeply human, this is theatre that lingers long after the curtain falls.
Don’t miss this electrifying classic—where every choice matters, and no one leaves unexamined.
Newsies The Musical | April 17-26, 2026
Inspired by the real-life Newsboys Strike of 1899, Newsies is a high-energy, dance-filled Broadway hit that tells the story of Jack Kelly—a rebellious newsboy who dreams of a better life far from the streets of New York City. When publishing giants raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack rallies newsies across the city to strike for what’s right. With thrilling choreography, unforgettable songs like “Seize the Day” and “Santa Fe,” and a powerful message of standing up and speaking out, Newsies is a joyful and rousing theatrical experience for the whole family. Don’t miss your chance to “Seize the Day”!
