Ancram Center for the Arts presents its 2026 season featuring five works exploring polarization, love, grief, scientific ethics, and the invisible wounds of war. Mainstage productions include Letters from Max by Pulitzer finalist Sarah Ruhl, the musical I'm Almost There written and performed by Todd Almond and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer, and Caryl Churchill's psychological thriller A Number. The season also features two Play Lab showings: Clarence, in a Pause: A Listening Party, created by MacArthur Fellows Heather Christian and Taylor Mac, and Be Safe I Love You, with book by Darrah Cloud and music and lyrics by Stephanie Salzman. The season kicks off with a free Season Preview on May 9 at 2pm, where co-directors Paul Ricciardi and Jeffrey Mousseau will introduce the actors, designers, and creators behind the 2026 season.
