Nick Blaemire's apocalyptic chamber musical Soon will premiere Off-Broadway in October 2025 at the East Village Basement, an intimate venue located at 321 East 9th Street in Manhattan. It will be the first musical produced in the downtown space, in a two-week limited run from October 29th to November 9th.

Playwright Rebecca Kane will present the world premiere of her one-woman show, Every 7ish Minutes, on Thursday, June 8th at 7:00pm at Theatre Row, as part of Rogue Theater Festival. The playwright will also serve as the sole performer and lead producer of the world's only combination solo show and naloxone training. Naloxone is a lifesaving drug with the potential to reverse an opioid overdose within minutes.

Two unlikely partners in theatrical crime are primed to thrill Silver Spring audiences this Summer: first, The Highwood Theatre presents a deliciously reinvented Summer Musical production of SWEENEY TODD (July 26 - August 4, 2019) followed by their two-week Acting Intensive Company's production of And Then There Were None (August 2 & 3).

As the capstone of its first-ever 'Year-Long Production,' The Highwood Theatre is honored to bring the landmark musical, WEST SIDE STORY, to the stage in downtown Silver Spring.  The production - the biggest in Highwood history - will feature a cast of 25 exceptionally talented students in grades 7 through 12, backed up by a full orchestra of 25 student musicians from local high schools and colleges.

Continuing its season theme of "Off Your Rocker," The Highwood Theatre will present an all-new production of the quirky musical "Soon," opening in April. "Soon" is Highwood's 5th annual Open Source Theatre Project, and with the intent of redefining conceptions of a traditional night at the theatre, will feature two casts - one made up of talented high school students and one of adult professionals. The two  casts will rehearse together and perform in repertory, supported by a student design team and student crew.

The Highwood Theatre's Your Theatre presents Crazy Runs in the Family, a hilarious comedy written by former Highwood student Julia Starr. The play explores the anxiety of twenty-something Ellie Wheeler as she brings her straightlaced boyfriend home to meet her wacky family. Three generations of outrageous characters prove that everyone has a wild side.
