Bonnie and Clyde at The Arlington Players

The Arlington Players Open 76th Season with Passion, Crime, and the American Dream in Bonnie & Clyde

The Tony-nominated musical runs September 5–20 at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre.

ARLINGTON, VA — Fueled by the Great Depression, a thirst for fame, and a reckless romance, two Texas outlaws captivated an entire nation. This September, The Arlington Players open their 76th season with the Tony-nominated musical Bonnie & Clyde, running September 5–20, 2026, at the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre.

With a book by Ivan Menchell, lyrics by Don Black (Sunset Boulevard), and music by Frank Wildhorn (Jekyll & Hyde), the show pairs historical drama with a score spanning rockabilly, blues, and traditional Broadway. The story follows Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow’s rapid descent from West Texas locals into America's most wanted fugitives.

Co-directors Kayla Damian and Ethan Kahwaty lead the production, featuring Megan (MJ) Cooper as Bonnie Parker and Ryan Kieft as Clyde Barrow. The principal cast includes Garrett Walsh (Buck Barrow), Cody Boehm (Blanche Barrow), and Antonio Miranda (Ted Hinton), supported by a talented ensemble.

The show is produced by Madison Chupka, and includes co-music directors Ryan Li and Adam Esrig, choreographers Shayna Druckman and Brooke Cody, lead carpenter Sam Thompson, costume designer Sam Lewis, and fight and intimacy choreographer Kara Turner.
