The Phoenix Theatre Company’s season 104 of live performance contains a full range of musicals, dramas and new works.
The season kicks off in September and includes 11 shows ranging from classics like “Fiddler on the Roof” and “Cabaret” to family favorites like “Elf,” plus the world premiere of two new shows originally workshopped at the Theatre’s Festival of New American Theatre, “Tiananmen” and “The Truth About Winnie Ruth Judd.”
Each performance is presented at the Theatre’s multi-venue campus, at 1825 N. Central Ave., in the heart of the Central Arts District.
“The upcoming season is an ambitious lineup of full-scale productions selected to help audiences escape the pressures of the world while providing a beautiful, shared experience of laughter, tears and inspiration,” Michael Barnard, producing artistic director at The Phoenix Theatre Company, shared in a news release.
Performances in the 2023-24 season will alternate between the Mainstage and Hardes Theatres. The Phoenix Theatre Company is undergoing its first major renovation in 20 years, expanding the mid-size Hormel Theatre from 250 seats to 500 and adding new technology for pre-Broadway production opportunities in the future.
The renovation is anticipated to be complete in spring 2025.
In the meantime, the Hardes Theatre, used mostly for rehearsals, will be transformed into a cabaret-style space with round tables and chairs.
The 2023-24 season includes:
“Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill,” Sept. 6-Nov. 26, 2023
“Tiananmen: A New Musical,” Oct. 4-29
“Elf,” Nov. 22-Dec. 31
“Sister's Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi's Gold,” Nov. 24-Dec. 31
“The Lehman Trilogy,” Jan. 24-Feb. 11, 2024
“The Truth About Winnie Ruth Judd,” Feb. 7-March 17, 2024
“Beautiful: The Carole King Musical,” March 6-April 28, 2024
“What the Constitution Means to Me,” April 10-June 16, 2024
“Fiddler on the Roof,” May 22-July 7, 2024
“Fully Committedc,” July 10-Aug. 11, 2024
“Cabaret,” July 31 – Sept. 1, 2024
In addition to the season’s full slate of shows, The Phoenix Theatre Company will host the 26th annual Festival of New American Theatre, Jan. 3-21, 2024. The Festival continues the theatre’s commitment to the development of new works, playwrights and performers, as well as showcases a variety of events that allow artists of all kinds to see their work come alive onstage.
