Marked by humor, hope, and redemption, each of the seven plays in the season features characters discovering who they are, beating the odds, and sharing with us their powerful, and often hilarious, stories.

Purchasing tickets early is the best way to ensure the seats and price levels desired are available. Tickets are expected to sell quickly for several shows, particularly "The Lion" (August 26 - September 20) and "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" (November 25 - December 20.) "The Lion" is the hit Off-Broadway musical which earned numerous awards from its New York and London runs, in addition to critical and audience acclaim. The MRT production launches the national tour of the one-man musical called "the best musical I've seen this year," by the Huffington Post. "It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play" marks MRT's first holiday-themed production since 2011 and is family friendly.

The 2015-16 Season is the first at MRT for new artistic director Sean Daniels. The lineup is indicative of the company's longstanding commitment to excellence and Daniels' network of leading theatre artists. In addition to launching the national tour of "The Lion", the season also includes two other shows which will move to New York after they are produced in Lowell.

Merrimack Repertory Theatre has been Merrimack Valley's professional theatre company since 1979, and is an integral part of Lowell's identity as the cultural heart of the region. The company is known for its high production standards and for creating compelling new plays and regional premieres that reflect the lives and emotions of its audiences. MRT is one of just three theatres in Massachusetts that is a member of the League of Resident Theatres (LORT), which has 72 members nationwide.
