2025-2026 Season: Truth

Angel Street (Gaslight)

June 12th - 28th, 2026

The hit play that inspired two film adaptations is back. Bella lives to please her charming husband Jack, who can be kind, even as he questions her sanity. When Jack is out for the evening, retired police sergeant Rough pays a call to Bella with a disturbing revelation. It will require all of Bella’s courage to restore truth to her house. Angel Street—also known as Gaslight—is a legendary tale of suspense and self-worth that defined a genre and became part of the public lexicon.

These Shining Lives

March 6th - March 22nd, 2026

Ottawa, Illinois, 1922. A group of women are thrilled by the opportunity to work at Radium Dial Company, making glow-in-the-dark watches. As their friendship strengthens, their trust in the company erodes, compelling them to a pursuit of the truth. Pulsing with hope and wit, These Shining Lives is an immortal story of the women’s community and a poetic tribute to every human being’s time on earth.

Freud’s Last Session

October 24th - November 9th, 2025

What if C.S. Lewis and Sigmund Freud met? What would they talk about? Mark St. Germain’s play imagines a conversation between these titans of theology and psychology on the day England enters WWII. The debate is friendly but the stakes are high as Freud and Lewis assert their truths and attempt to understand the other, “with both humor and insight in abundance.” – NY1 TV
