Season 13 kicks off in the fall of 2026 with an Elizabethan classic and a cornerstone of western civilization, Christopher Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus —a powerful cautionary tale about the pitfalls of limitless personal ambition, asking the question: “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world, but lose his soul?” The play follows Faustus’s rise as a magician through his pact with Lucifer—facilitated by the demon Mephistopheles—and his ultimate downfall as he fails to repent before his damnation. The play has had a lasting influence, inspiring adaptations across stage, film, and other media, and the characters of Faustus and Mephistopheles remain iconic figures in Western literature.

This dramatization of C. S. Lewis’ classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting world of Narnia. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this faithful dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan’s resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowning of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur, and other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver, and Tumnus the Faun. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

To ring in the 2027 new year, we are bringing back Robert Bolt’s “Best Play” Tony Award-Winning drama, A Man fo r All Seasons , about the inspiring true story of Sir Thomas More and his refusal to submit to King Henry VIII’s Oath of Supremacy in 16th-century England.

To close out Season 13, we’ll be producing another “Best Play” Tony Award Winner, The Miracle Worker , by William Gibson.
