| | Much Ado About Nothing
Written by William Shakespeare
Directed by TBD
June 7th - September 13th, 2025
Sparks fly as two couples become ensnared in a whirlwind of lies and deceptions in Shakespeare’s sparkling comedy of romance, wit, and intrigue. Through a tapestry of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and public revelations, the play juxtaposes two romantic plots: one mature love defined by a sharp, witty battle of words and wills, and the other by the tender vulnerability of young, idealized love. Tensions rise, and the humor reaches new heights, filled with clever wordplay and unexpected twists, culminating in a celebration where love conquers all.

| | Strife
Written by John Galsworthy
Directed by TBD
June 21st - October 4th, 2025
What compromise is possible when human dignity and health are on the line, along with a business' survival, and the economy it supports? It’s Capital versus Labor versus the Union at the climactic peak of a labor strike, with a resolution hanging in the balance. Pulitzer Prize-winning writer and activist John Galsworthy remarkably shows every point of view as the corporation and workers consider untenable options. 1890s Pennsylvania, amidst the industrial unrest and labor movements of America’s Gilded Age, sets the stage for Theatricum’s production of Galsworthy’s gripping story of human endurance, sacrifice, and the fragile balance between justice and compromise.

| | The Seagull: Malibu
Retold by Ellen Geer from The Seagull by Anton Chekov
Directed by Ellen Geer
July 12th - October 5th, 2025
In this evocative retelling of Anton Chekhov’s timeless masterpiece The Seagull, Artistic Director Ellen Geer transports audiences to the sun-soaked yet tumultuous shores of 1970s Malibu, California. Set against the backdrop of a country transitioning from the ideals of the free-love era to the self-centered “Me Generation,” the story follows Constantine, a young writer concerned about global warming, which is spurned as a fantasy by those around him. He tries to reach his family. His thoughts and writing are buried by egos and turmoil of the times. With the crashing waves of Malibu as both a literal and metaphorical backdrop, Chekhov’s exploration of human fragility, ambition, and the search for love and meaning reminds audiences of the fragile threads that unite us all.

| | Wine in the Wilderness
Written by Alice Childress
Directed by Gerald Rivers
August 9th - October 12th, 2025
An artist is painting a triptych, seeking to capture the essence of Black womanhood in a painting. His assumptions are confronted when he meets a vibrant young woman who challenges his ideals and exposes the complexities of identity, class, and the sexism embedded in his perceptions. Set in the early 1960s, this poignant drama examines the deep divisions within the African American community of the time while serving as a microcosm for the wider societal divides plaguing America today. As stereotypes, misogyny, and class distinctions continue to shape our perceptions, Wine in the Wilderness offers a timely and resonant exploration of how we are all bound by the shared struggle for love, understanding, and our full humanity. In a time where division and polarization define much of the national conversation, Childress’ work reminds us of the urgent need for empathy, self-awareness, and solidarity.
