Orlando
,
February 26 – March 1, 2026, Orlando, by Virginia Woolf, Adapted by Sarah Ruhl, Directed by Patrick Michael Kelly, Benson Theatre, Sarah Ruhl’s adaptation of the “longest and most charming love letter in literature,” is a wild, fantastical trip through space, time and gender. Orlando’s story begins as a young man serving as courtier to Queen Elizabeth I, but his yearning for more takes him on a centuries-long adventure that finds him, in the 18th century, unexpectedly transformed into a woman. Orlando’s travels form the heart of a dazzling tale where gender and gender preferences shift regularly, with hilarious and heartfelt results. “…faithfully recreates the incidents Woolf uses to illustrate her ideas about the fluidity of gender and identity, and the great mysteries of time.” – New York Times,

The Antelope Party
,
April 3-12, 2026 The Antelope Party by Eric John Meyer, Directed by Jesse Jou Drayton Hall Theatre,
, All is equal and good in the land of Equestria, the colorful kingdom in the classic children’s cartoon My Little Pony. But in an apartment in rural Pennsylvania, where Ben hosts a weekly gathering of “bronies” (cosplaying fans of My Little Pony), things are becoming decidedly less harmonious. An overzealous Neighborhood Watch has begun patrolling the streets, and as its political influence surges, fear and paranoia begin to creep into the bronies’ (and pegasisters’) circle of friendship. “Meyer’s story about a group of lonely outcasts reminds us that acceptance and community can indeed be magical – but sometimes magic can be dark.” – Time Out New York,
Contains language and themes that may not be appropriate for young audiences.

Admission Cost: $15 - $22.
