2025-26 Season

This season, we explore the enduring theme of resilience. Our lineup presents a powerful journey through moments of crisis, from the personal to the political, where characters face profound challenges and strive to rebuild.

The fall season examines how individuals and communities navigate chaos and change. Stories range from epic allegories of survival to intimate dramas of connection in a fractured world.

In the spring, we turn our attention to the timeless struggles for power and control. Our productions confront themes of manipulation, ambition, and betrayal, questioning whether unity can ultimately triumph over division.

We invite you to join us this 2025–26 season to celebrate the work of our students, their courage, engagement, and artistic valor.
