Adapted to the stage by William Goldman, based on the Novel by Stephen King
Hedgerow Theatre Company opens its 2026-27 season with Stephen King’s Misery, a chilling psychological thriller about obsession, fame, and survival adapted to the stage by William Goldman. After a devastating car accident leaves novelist Paul Sheldon stranded in a remote cabin, he awakens under the care of Annie Wilkes, his self-proclaimed “number one fan,” whose devotion quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Featuring Emma Gibson (Beginners) and Bruce Graham (The Philly Fan) in a riveting two-person showdown, the production traps audiences inside a tense, unpredictable battle of wills where admiration turns terrifying. Suspenseful and darkly entertaining, Misery launches the new season with an electrifying theatrical experience that will keep audiences on edge until the very last moment. | Buy tickets |
| | Barnaby Bright
Produced in partnership with Burlap & Bean, Hedgerow welcomes Barnaby Bright for a one-night only concert engagement.
Barnaby Bright is an alt-Americana trio blending indie folk with contemporary influences shaped by a journey from Brooklyn to Nashville to Kansas, alongside Nathan’s Oklahoma roots and distant connection to Merle Haggard. Known for transforming vivid storytelling into immersive live performances, their shows move effortlessly between love songs, murder ballads, and deeply resonant themes—often leaving audiences describing the experience as spiritual.
Led by Nathan’s virtuosic acoustic guitar and banjo work and Becky’s soaring vocals over the harmonium, the Kansas City–based group recently expanded with the addition of Carmen Dieker, whose haunting fiddle and violin deepen their signature three-part harmonies. Acclaimed by Songwriter’s Circle, Amazon’s Top 100 Albums of the Year, and The New York Times, Barnaby Bright has also had music featured on Netflix’s Sex/Life and has shared stages with artists including Norah Jones and The Lumineers while continuing to grow a devoted following. | Buy tickets |
| | The Old Man and the Old Moon
by PigPen Theatre Company
PigPen Theatre Company’s inventive and music-filled production The Old Man & The Old Moon explores love, memory, and the pull of adventure under the direction of Abby Weissman (Little Women). Blending live folk music, imaginative stagecraft, and sweeping storytelling, the production follows an Old Man whose lifelong task is to keep the moon filled with light until his wife slips away one night, drawn by a mysterious song and the promise of the far horizon. Determined to find her, he joins a ragtag crew of sailors and embarks on an epic voyage toward the edge of the world, encountering apocalyptic storms, civil wars, mythical monsters, and the fiercest obstacle of all: change. Hailed as “sometimes comical and sometimes melancholy, but never less than clever” by The New York Times, The Old Man & The Old Moon invites audiences into a richly theatrical experience that celebrates imagination, connection, and the enduring power of memory. | Buy tickets |
| | Souvenir
by Stephen Temperley
Stephen Temperley’s Souvenir brings to life the unforgettable true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the wildly enthusiastic socialite whose famously off-key opera performances made her an unlikely sensation. Featuring Hedgerow Artistic Director Emeritus Penelope Reed as the eccentric singer, the play is told through the eyes of her devoted accompanist, Cosme McMoon, tracing their extraordinary partnership from intimate society recitals to Florence’s legendary Carnegie Hall concert. Hilarious and heartfelt, Souvenir explores the complicated line between talent and passion, asking what it truly means to love music and to pursue joy without fear of judgment. Filled with wit, warmth, and surprising emotional depth, this “beguiling comic jewel with a heart” (Variety) celebrates the enduring power of art, ambition, and human connection.
