ALL MY SONS, PETER PAN GOES WRONG, and More Set For Lyric Stage Boston 2026-27 Season

An American classic that meets the moment, a comedy all things “wrong” and wonderful, a beloved “whodunit”, friendship found through a love of basketball, and a surprise finale like no other make up our highly anticipated 2026-2027 Season.

Producing Artistic Director Courtney O'Connor says “We have five amazing stories we can't wait to share, all filled with laughter and tears, music and movement, mystery and revelations, and heartbreak and love. The artists are beginning their work, putting together the teams of designers, and considering casting choices. But, as you'll see, we can't share one of our titles with you just yet. No worries — we know it and plan to announce it in early summer.”

Audiences may subscribe to guarantee the best seats at the best prices — up to 40% savings on single tickets. Five-, four-, and three-show packages are available, which all include exclusive events, free exchanges, and concierge services.

Summer 1947. Joe Keller, a self-made businessman and respected pillar of the community lives with his family in an idyllic neighborhood. It's a good life.

Joe buries the truth about the role he played in the tragic death of 21 pilots during the war by issuing defective airplane parts that he manufactured alongside his business partner.

Peter Pan Goes Wrong

By Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer & Henry Shields
Directed by Paul Melone

November 13-December 31, 2026

The Cornley University Drama Society is at it again. Chaos unfolds as a troupe of inept actors boldly takes on the ambitious staging of J.M. Barrie's Peter and Wendy. A wardrobe malfunction or two, a series of harrowing falls, some flubbed lines, and an epic meltdown courtesy of Captain Hook himself turn the play upside down. Throw in a love triangle, a tormented narrator, and blunders around every corner, and it's a frenzied comedic battle to the finish. From the creators of The Play That Goes Wrong, this is one trip to Neverland that is as hilarious as it is disastrous. Fun for the whole family.

Twists and turns buzz through this smart and nail-biting thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

“Announcing our season without naming the musical feels wrong. Crazy, really. While we're absolutely bursting to share plans for next spring, we need to keep things under wraps for a little longer. And, I promise — it will be worth the wait.”– Courtney O'Connor, Producing Artistic Director
