2025–2026 SEASON LINEUP
THE SHARK IS BROKEN
September 17 – October 12, 2025
By Ian Shaw and Joseph Nixon
This Michigan premiere pulls back the curtain on the chaotic set of Jaws in 1974, where three actors wait out delays on a broken-down boat—and a broken-down mechanical shark. Witty and revealing, the play offers a fictionalized, darkly funny portrait of Hollywood egos and existential dread.
A VERY NORTHVILLE CHRISTMAS
November 19 – December 21, 2025
By Robert Hawlmark
Back by popular demand, this hilarious holiday spoof embraces Hallmark movie tropes with love and laughter. Featuring a new cast each year, the show is filled with small-town charm, romantic clichés, and a healthy pour of peppermint schnapps.
BROKE-OLOGY
February 11 – March 8, 2026
By Nathan Louis Jackson
Set in 2008 Kansas City, this poignant family drama explores brotherhood, sacrifice, and love as two sons grapple with the decision to care for their ailing father. A heartfelt, moving celebration of resilience and the enduring bonds of family.
GENE & GILDA
April 8 – May 3, 2026
By Cary Gitter
This Michigan premiere brings Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner’s love story to life in an intimate, funny, and moving bio-play. From their first meeting to their bittersweet goodbye, Gene & Gilda humanizes two comedic legends beyond the spotlight.
THE REVOLUTIONISTS
June 3 – June 28, 2026
By Lauren Gunderson
Set during France’s Reign of Terror, four iconic women—Olympe de Gouges, Charlotte Corday, Marie Antoinette, and Marianne Angelle—band together in a wildly imaginative and hilarious story about feminism, resistance, and revolution.
