A CHRISTMAS CAROL and More Set for Tampa Repertory Theatre 2025–2026 Season
The season will also feature God of Carnage and more.
By: Chloe Rabinowitz Aug. 18, 2025
Tampa Repertory Theatre has revealed its 2025–2026 season. The lineup features three productions that are by turns heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply human: the timeless redemption of A Christmas Carol: A Live Radio Play, the razor-sharp wit of God of Carnage, and the tender wartime romance of Dear Jack, Dear Louise.
Two special command performances of Every Brilliant Thing starring Ned Averill-Snell will also be presented, continuing the Raise the Curtain on Mental Health Awareness initiative and fostering community dialogue around resilience, compassion, and hope. As the country marks its 250th anniversary, these stories reflect on where it has been and the shared values that continue to unite it.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL: A LIVE RADIO PLAY
Adapted and Directed by Jim Sorensen
Featuring Michael Gregory as Scrooge
December 5–23, 2025 | Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center
Step into a nostalgic 1940s radio studio where Dickens' classic redemption story is brought to life with live Foley effects and holiday music. This reimagined holiday tradition blends warmth, humor, and heart in a way only live theatre can.
GOD OF CARNAGE
By Yasmina Reza | Translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Alexis Carra Girbés
January 29 – February 15, 2026 | Studio Theater, HCC Ybor
A razor-sharp comedy of manners that begins as a polite discussion between two sets of parents and unravels into a hilarious, unflinching look at the thin veneer of civility. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Play.
DEAR JACK, DEAR LOUISE
By Ken Ludwig
Directed by Robin Gordon
Opening July 4, 2026
July 4-19, 2026 | Shimberg Playhouse, Straz Center
A heartfelt, humorous romance told entirely through letters. Inspired by Ludwig's own parents, this two-character play chronicles the courtship between a World War II army doctor and an aspiring actress — a story of hope and human connection premiering during America's 250th anniversary.
Production Sponsors: Hal Freedman & Willi Rudowsky
