Curtains up on an ensemble of actors who have dedicated their lives to performing Shakespeare’s work. But what happens to us and our relationships when we tell the same stories over and over and over again? Fight Call is a time-bending love story told through the fight calls for all of Shakespeare’s female death scenes.
Macbeth
Wednesday-Saturday, November 11-14, 18-21, 2026 | 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, November 15 and 22, 2026 | 2:00 p.m.
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by Andy Christensen
A couple corrupted by their relentless lust for power have blood on their hands. Witness the gripping tale of greed, murder, deception, and superstition. Once you cross the line, you can never turn back.
Underdog: The Other Other Brontë
Wednesday-Saturday, February 17-20, 2027 | 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, February 21, 2021 | 2:00 p.m.
Written by Sarah Gordon
Directed by Jessica Wallenfels
“Charlotte Brontë has a confession about how one sister became an idol, and the other became known as the third sister. You know the one. No, not that one. The other, other one… Anne. This is not a story about well-behaved women. This is a story about the power of words. It’s about sisters and sisterhood, love and jealousy, support, and competition. Sarah Gordon’s new play that premiered at the National Theatre in 2024, is an irreverent retelling of the life and legend of the Brontë sisters, and the story of the sibling power dynamics that shaped their uneven rise to fame.” – Concord Theatricals
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Wednesday-Saturday, April 7-10, 14-17, 2027 | 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, April 11 and 18, 2027 | 2:00 p.m.
Book by Rachel Sheinkin Music by William Finn
Directed by Andy Christensen
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book and a truly fresh and vibrant score, this bee is one unforgettable experience. An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
