| | Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
June 6, 2026 - September 26, 2026
The Gilded Age in New York City: a moment of explosive industrial growth, staggering inequality, and rigid social division. It is within this landscape of class hatred and social imbalance that Romeo and Juliet find each other, two teenagers who are young, impulsive, and innocent of the adult grievances surrounding them. The history of the Gilded Age and the tragic fate of Romeo and Juliet loom as a warning: when humanity gets lost in division, hate, and fear, the first things we sacrifice are compassion, connection, and a hopeful future for our children. | Buy tickets |

| | Noël Coward's Waiting in the Wings
July 11, 2026 - October 3, 2026
“The Wings” is a charitable home for retired actresses, women who once lived at the very center of applause and public admiration, and who must now learn how to live together when the curtain has long since fallen. Coward’s signature wit is radical in its insistence that these women are not relics of a bygone era, but fully realized human beings who are sharp, opinionated, funny, difficult, generous, and full of life. They are voices shaped by experience, artistry, and survival. With poignant humor, Waiting in the Wings reminds us that if we are to live fully, we must continue to grow and recognize that a life well led is measured not by applause, but by connection. | Buy tickets |
| | The People of Pompeii
by Bernardo Cubría
August 1, 2026 - October 4, 2026
Fires have come before. More will come again. And still, people stay, for love of place, for their children, for the idea of community. Bernardo Cubría’s dark and incisive new comedy, set in the aftermath of the 2025 fires in Los Angeles, does not romanticize that choice, but interrogates it, exposing the privilege embedded in even being able to choose. A dinner party meant to celebrate survival quickly turns into a sharp, funny, and uncomfortable reckoning with how we perform community when everything beneath it feels unstable. Fast, biting, and wickedly observant, Cubría’s quick dialogue reveals a deeper urgency: a hunger for connection, home, and belonging that is not fragile or performative. In a time when many of us feel unmoored, The People of Pompeii asks what “home” really means—and whether we are willing to do the work it takes to build it together, before the next fire comes. | Buy tickets |

This evening is a celebration of joy, truth, and collective healing, a reminder that music can still move hearts, spark courage, and help us imagine a better world together. "Cabaret Theatricum Sings Marvin Gaye" is presented as an installment of Under the Oaks, Theatricum’s ongoing special performance series.
