Our 68th Season:
Alamo Shoes • Steven Simoncic • November 1 - December 22, 2025
A terrible thing has happened at what might be the last shoe store in Detroit. And now the sales team, a proper group of misfits and outcasts, must learn how to survive and make sense of their new normal as they struggle with life, death, rebirth and the essential importance of clinging to (at least) some version of the truth. From the writer who brought us Ghost Gardens.
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom • August Wilson • January 10 - March 2, 2025
In a rundown Chicago recording studio in 1927, tempers rise and simmering conflicts erupt when the “Mother of the Blues” and her band record a set of jazz and blues standards.
Fiery and determined, Ma Rainey fights to retain control over her music, while her cocky trumpet player Levee dreams of making his own name in the business. More than music goes down in August Wilson’s riveting portrayal of rage, racism, self-hatred, and exploitation.
Hysterical! • Elenna Stauffer • March 14 - May 4, 2025
It's the Bandits' best year EVER! Until one by one, cheerleaders succumb to a mysterious illness. As the traditional high-school pecking order is upended, relationships between the girls are tested and they find themselves both shunned and branded as hysterics. Inspired by true events.
Covenant • York Walker • May 16 - July 6, 2025
Two years after his sudden disappearance, struggling guitarist Johnny “Honeycomb” James returns to his small town a blues star, sparking rumors that he may have made a deal with the devil to attain his musical genius. Inspired by the myth of Robert Johnson, this haunting, Gothic play explores the power of belief and tests the thin veil between rumor and truth.
