Spotlight: 2025/26 SEASON at American Conservatory Theater

Music, magic...and ghosts Haunted by the past—singing toward the future.

This season dives deep into the stories we inherit, the ones we tell ourselves, and the ones we long to rewrite. Whether it’s a Korean Canadian family confronting generational expectations in Kim's Convenience, a 1970s rock band caught between chaos and creation in Stereophonic, or the shattered illusions of Southern grandeur in A Streetcar Named Desire, each production grapples with the tension between memory and possibility. From the spectral echoes of Hamnet and Paranormal Activity to the bold new voices of ||: Girls :||: Chance :||: Music :||, our stage becomes a space where ghosts are confronted, truths unearthed, and the future imagined—louder, stranger, and more alive than ever.
