The season will open with CORNER OF THE SKY: THE MUSIC OF Stephen Schwartz, a world premiere musical conceived and created by Scott Coulter. The production will highlight six decades of work by the composer, including songs from Wicked, Pippin, Godspell, and The Prince of Egypt, and will run September 5–27, 2026.
The lineup will continue with Jeffrey Hatcher’s MRS. MANNERLY, running October 13–November 1, 2026. The production will feature Raymond McAnally and Dale Hodges reprising their roles from a previous run. For the holiday season, ETC will present CINDERELLA, with book by Joseph McDonough, lyrics by David Kisor, and music by Fitz Patton, running December 9–30, 2026.
In early 2027, ETC will stage the regional premiere of THE CHILDREN by Lucy Kirkwood, running January 30–February 21, followed by PARADISE BLUE by Dominique Morisseau, running March 20–April 11. The season will conclude with the regional premiere of BAD DATES: END GAME by Theresa Rebeck, scheduled for May 8–30, 2027.
