Dallas Theater Center has revealed the final title in its 2026–27 season: The Lehman Trilogy by Stefano Massini, adapted by Ben Power. Winner of the 2022 Tony Award for Best Play, this three-part, sweeping epic will be directed by Lisa Portes and run February 5–21, 2027, at the Kalita Humphreys Theater. 

Spanning more than 160 years of history, The Lehman Trilogy charts the extraordinary rise and fall of a financial empire that helped shape modern American capitalism. Beginning with three immigrant brothers in a small Alabama dry-goods store, the story follows the Lehman family's journey across generations as they build a legacy that ultimately reaches the heights of Wall Street.

Told through a virtuosic feat of performance, three performers portray more than 70 characters, bringing to life a richly layered exploration of ambition, legacy, and the human cost of relentless growth. The play culminates in a powerful reflection on risk, trust, and the forces behind a global financial collapse.

This production completes the 2026-27 season announcement which features five plays making their Dallas debut including three world premieres. This season launches the inaugural year of Enloe/Rose Artistic Director Jaime Castañeda, ushering in a new chapter for Dallas Theater Center
