• Double Down
  Dec 1, 2026 – Jan 3, 2027
  Written and directed by JENNIFER CHILDS, Double Down celebrates the comedy double act in all its forms. Beloved Philadelphia comedians TONY BRAITHWAITE and SCOTT GREER bring history’s funniest duos to life — from Bob Hope and Bing Crosby to Abbott and Costello, Martin and Lewis, and the Smothers Brothers. Fast-paced, clever, and full of holiday cheer, this high-energy performance proves that great comedy never goes out of style.
• The Trip to Bountiful
  Jan 26 – Feb 28, 2027
  Carrie Watts longs to escape her cramped Houston apartment and return to her hometown of Bountiful, Texas one last time. But the place she remembers may not be the town she finds. A timeless, moving human drama, The Trip to Bountiful stars NANCY BOYKIN in a masterful lead performance, directed with warmth and elegance by her son, JAMES KERN.
• Popcorn Falls
  Mar 23 – Apr 25, 2027
  Two actors take on more than 20 roles in this zany farce about the sleepy town of Popcorn Falls. When a greedy developer threatens to turn their town into a sewage plant, the townspeople have only one hope: open a theater and put on a show. Fast-paced, laugh-out-loud funny, and directed by TONY BRAITHWAITE, Popcorn Falls celebrates the power of theater, community, and daring to dream.
• First Date
  May 18 – Jun 20, 2027
• First Date: The Musical
  May 18 – Jun 20, 2027
  Aaron and Casey meet on a blind date that quickly turns into a hilarious, high-stakes dinner at a busy New York restaurant. With inner critics taking over and fellow diners transformed into best friends, exes, and parents, every conversation becomes a comic adventure. Full of catchy songs, clever dance numbers, and laugh-out-loud moments, First Date: The Musical is a charming, fast-paced story of love, awkwardness, and the magic of a first encounter.
