Announcing the 2026/27 Season | Dreamers & Daredevils

Bursting with theatricality and humanity (with a side of belly-laughs and pearl-clutching gasps thrown in for good measure), Center REP’s 59th season pulls back the curtain on what it means to live life to its fullest, dream beyond expectations, and love like there’s no tomorrow.

Our DREAMERS & DAREDEVILS season dives heart first into stories chock full of characters exploring how to disrupt the noise of everyday life—through memory and laughter, pain and enlightenment, horror and compassion—and find fulfillment by betting big and taking unexpected leaps of faith.

The Glass Menagerie

C-Rep_2026_Digital_vfinal_280 x 21043

By Tennessee Williams
Directed by Matt M. Morrow

September 6 – 27, 2026

“One of the most hauntingly lyrical dramas in the American canon.”
The Hollywood Reporter

This quintessential American classic graces the Center REP stage as Williams’ inspiring and unflinching look at family and longing launches the 26-27 season.

Blossoming as a living memory on stage, this ethereal masterpiece redefined American theatre when it premiered over 80 years ago. Gripped by guilt after deserting his mother and sister in a 1930’s St. Louis slum, Tom is compelled to investigate what led to the abandonment of his family, and perhaps his soul. Directed by Center REP Artistic Director Matt M. Morrow, this all new Legacy Revival production examines the cost of personal freedom, the depth of sibling bonds, and the consequences of seeking the truth.

By Gordon Greenberg & Steve Rosen
Directed by Becca Wolff

October 25 – November 15, 2026

“The lovechild of Mel Brooks and Monty Python, a side-splitting, rib-tickling, neck-biting, hysterically racy show. You’ll be screaming with laughter!”
BroadwayWorld

“Sexy and campy with non-stop hilarity. You don’t want to miss this!”
Forbes

“If you’ve been craving a break from the frights of real life, this campy, vampy romp is a scream!”
TimeOut NY

“Brilliant! This hilariously reimagined take, created in the spirit of The 39 Steps, is a lightning-fast, laugh-out-loud comedy”
Broadway World

Does your life suck? Are you missing bite in your night? Are you thirsty for a rollicking good time? The nationally acclaimed hit Dracula: A Comedy of Terrors asks one simple question: Who doesn’t need a sharp and pointed belly-laugh right about now? Bram Stoker’s legendary creature of the night comes to titillating and scintillating life in this fast-paced, outrageous adaptation that will leave you screaming for more! Told by five actors performing nearly 20 characters, ridiculous is the name of the game in this gothic horror tale turned tour de force of physical performance. This unhinged, mad cap comedy beckons you to the dark side for bloody good time!

BroadwayWorld

Stage and Cinema

Welcome one and all to a sequined celebration of life, family, and the profound connection we all share just by being alive. When M’s parents receive some life-shattering news, their small yet mighty family of three must grapple with the life they’ve lived, as well as the one they haven’t. This hilarious and heartfelt Valentine-of-a-show zooms through the waking and dream lives of its family (with guest appearances by child environmentalist Greta Thurnberg), on a journey of acceptance and deliverance. Buckle up! Who knew the end of the world could be such a thrill?

Bat Boy: The Musical

Story & Book by Keythe Farley & Brian Flemming
Music & Lyrics by Laurence O’Keefe
Directed by Matt M. Morrow

June 6 – July 4, 2027

“A Grand Guignol feast…an operatic mix of tragedy and grotesquerie, hilarity and emotion.”
The New York Times

Next summer, only Center REP dares to bring you the outrageously acclaimed gothic musical that’s inspired by actual supermarket-tabloid headlines from the early 90s.

Deep in a cave in rural America, a group of teenagers discover a creature living in the dark: a half-boy, half-bat in need of a home—and maybe just a little sip of blood. When the local veterinarian’s family takes him in, they name him Edgar and teach him how to live like a human—fangs and all. However, gaining acceptance into their small town beset by economic hardship is a bat of a different color. Tensions spike as the local cow population begins to mysteriously die off and long-held secrets tease out the darker side of Edgar and the community surrounding his new-found family. Penned by “one of the 21st centuries finest musical-theater talents” (The New York Times) and powered by a pulsating rock score, this rarely produced cult favorite whips together horror, heart, and high-voltage humor into a frothy yet sharp satire about societal prejudice the need we all have to belong.
