Season 69 (2025/2026)

Primary Trust
by Eboni Booth

2024 PULITZER WINNER

November 7 to December 28, 2025

"I do believe in friends and Bert is the best friend around.”

Kenneth is a shy, middle aged Black man living in a small town in upstate New York. By day he sells books, and by night he drinks mai tais at a Tiki Bar with his best friend Bert. When he is suddenly laid off from the book store, he is forced out of his comfort zone and into a world he has long avoided.

Primary Trust is an achingly beautiful, ultimately stunning tale that celebrates friendship, connection and how small acts of kindness can change a person’s life, and an entire community.

August Wilson's

The Piano Lesson

January 9 to March 15, 2026

“Everybody got stones in their passway…You ain't got to carry them with you."

In the Charles household, Berniece and her brother Boy Willie fight over the fate of the family piano; she treasures it as a precious connection to their ancestors, and he sees it as the means to a more prosperous future. Boy Willie argues that the past is past, but Berniece proves to be more formidable than he anticipated.

This fourth installment of the American Century Cycle is a haunting play about legacy.

Eclipsed
by Danai Gurira

DETROIT PREMIERE

March 27 to May 17, 2026

“You got to be STRONG! Dis is war little gal. And you a soldier.”

Five extraordinary women, who have formed an unlikely sisterhood struggle to negotiate power, protection and peace as they try to survive. With wit, compassion, and defiance, this gripping play unearths the wreckage of war and celebrates the women who navigate and survive the most hostile of circumstances.

From actress-playwright Danai Gurira (Black Panther, The Walking Dead) comes a stunning tale of hope and resilience set in the midst of the Liberian Civil War.

Spit In Your Face
by Paul Heller and Alberto Lomnitz

WORLD PREMIERE POLITICAL SATIRE

May 29 to June 28, 2026

“We didn’t have these kinds of fights in my high school theater club.”

As the only Mexican-American in a San Francisco theater company, Liliana finds herself in the thorny position of having to realize the vision of two men, each of whom thinks he knows how to speak to the audience they serve.

This new play is a bombastic and hilarious look at modern politics and absurd theatre.
