Presenting our 2023-2024 Season
We are so excited to announce our upcoming 2023-2024 season! We truly believe in telling stories that matter, and our mainstage season centers queer, female, and BIPOC playwrights whose voices will speak truth to our community. Explore the bounds of creativity with us as we welcome these plays to Waco, and prepare to have your preconceived notions challenged as we bring this art to life.
Gray
by Trent Sutton
August 10-13

A modern retelling of Oscar Wilde’s A Picture of Dorian Gray, this brand new play raises more questions than it provides answers, forcing the audience to consider who is truly at fault within the tragedy that unfolds.
The Handless King
by Harley Elias
October 12-15
The world premiere production of two ancient Assyrian scribes, each fighting to keep the language they love. Ultimately their struggle reflects the eternal questioning of technological change, hope for revolution, state violence, gender, disability, and the nature of poetry.
'Twas The Night Before Christmas

Assassins
by Stephen Sondheim
March 21-24
Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, this is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.

Parts and Pieces
