Six Points Theater Reveals 2026-27 Season Lineup
The season will open with the world premiere of One-Shot by Andrew Rosendorf.
Six Points Theater has announced ts 2026–2027 season, featuring four productions that explore how the past shapes our lives today. The season will open with the world premiere of One-Shot by Andrew Rosendorf, the first of three separate productions in a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Set in 1999, the play follows David, who is Jewish, and Martín, an undocumented immigrant. The two young video store employees are film buffs and best friends who are also in love. As they await news of a film scholarship to NYU that could change their lives, One-Shot explores privilege, identity, fragility and who gets the space to tell what stories.
Next is an encore engagement of The Happiest Man on Earth by Mark St. Germain, based on the New York Times bestselling memoir by Eddie Jaku. JC Cutler returns in this audience favorite, portraying Jaku’s extraordinary journey from childhood innocence through the horrors of the Holocaust to gratitude and joy later in life. Following its limited engagement at Six Points Theater, the production will tour venues across Minnesota.
The First Lady of Television by James Sherman is inspired by the true story of Gertrude Berg, a pioneer of radio and television who created, wrote and starred in The Goldbergs, one of America’s earliest television sitcoms. When her co-star Philip Loeb, a Jewish labor activist, is accused of being a communist, Berg must decide whether to fire him or remain loyal and risk having the show canceled by its sponsors. Comedy and drama come together in this period piece with striking contemporary urgency.
Six Points Theater concludes the season with The Reservoir by Jake Brasch. Josh, a college student newly returned home to get sober, reconnects with his four aging grandparents and discovers that their struggles mirror his own. As he becomes consumed with improving their lives, he loses sight of his recovery and must reckon with what comes next.
