A Season of Color, Comedy & Pure Imagination

Stage Right Announces 2025-2026 Season

Williamstown, KY – For the first time in its history Stage Right Musical Theatre Company is thrilled to announce the entirety of its 9th Season. Featuring blockbuster titles and family fun,
Stage Right’s season is perfect for every member of the family.

“So many Theatres have been struggling to attract audiences after covid. Our patrons have shown up and then some. We are fortunate to see growth in our audiences and cannot wait to share this exciting season with old friends and brand new audiences alike!” Artistic Director John Siedenberg II said.

The season kicks off in June with Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat running June 6-22. This blockbuster musical comedy is based on the biblical story of Joseph and his coat of many colors with music by the legendary Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. We’re thrilled to bring one of our most requested shows this summer.

We close the summer with Mark Landon Smith’s hilarious comedy An Evening of Culture running July 11-20. When a small southern community presents Romeo & Juliet as part of their annual “Evening of Culture” things go awry fast. Set pieces fall apart, Romeo can’t read the lines smudged on his arm, and there might be a dog loose backstage. This hilarious comedy will have you laughing from beginning to end.

The holidays arrive with our education program’s (Rising Stars Academy) presentation of the classic The Best Christmas Pageant Ever running December 12-15. Barbara Robinson’s beloved story of hope, redemption, and second chances comes to life onstage for your entire
family to experience.

And our 9th season closes out with Roald Dahl’s Willy Wonka running January 30 – February 8, 2026. Based on the book by Roald Dahl and the beloved 1971 film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Follow Charlie Bucket as he tours the mysterious Wonka Chocolate Factory. This wonderful musical is the perfect sweet treat to warm up your winter.

Season Tickets are now on sale at www.StageRightMTC.org with Single Tickets set to go on sale in April. Save money and see more when you subscribe to see all of our shows this

Cincinnati Opera Receives Anonymous Gift in Support of Opera Fusion: New Works, Extending the Program by Three Years

The gift enables the continuation of the company’s acclaimed partnership with the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music that nurtures the development of new American operas

The next workshop to be featured as part of Opera Fusion: New Works is THE POST OFFICE by Laura Kaminsky and Elaine Sexton, with a free, public performance of excerpts on March 22, 2025

CINCINNATI (February 12, 2025)—Cincinnati Opera is delighted to announce a generous donation in support of Opera Fusion: New Works (OF:NW), its joint creative venture with the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM). The company has received an anonymous gift that will extend OF:NW by three years.

Cincinnati Opera and CCM launched Opera Fusion: New Works in 2011 to foster the development of new American operas, receiving significant support from the Mellon Foundation. Jointly led by Robin Guarino, professor of opera at CCM, and Evans Mirageas, The Harry T. Wilks Artistic Director of Cincinnati Opera, the nationally unique initiative offers composers and librettists the opportunity to A moment from the Opera Fusion: New Works workshop for Lalovavi by Kevin Day and Tifara Brown.

workshop their operas-in-progress, utilizing the facilities, personnel, and talent of both Cincinnati Opera and CCM.

To date, the program has hosted 34 workshops or orchestral readings for 28 operas, including several works which have since received multiple productions throughout the U.S.: Fellow Travelers by Gregory Spears and Greg Pierce, Eurydice by Matthew Aucoin and Sarah Ruhl, and Champion by Terence Blanchard and Michael Cristofer. Two OF:NW projects received their New York City premieres earlier this month to enthusiastic audience and critical acclaim: Blind Injustice by Scott Davenport Richards and David Cote, and Morgiane by Edmond Dédé.

Funding from the Mellon Foundation, which has supported OF:NW since its inception, is due to end in 2025. The newly announced gift will enable the program to continue through 2028 and host workshops for six additional operas.

Said Evans Mirageas, “Opera Fusion: New Works has been transformative for Cincinnati Opera, CCM, and opera in America. This generous gift will allow this unique creative collaboration to continue to thrive, giving composers and librettists valuable resources to shape their stories and ensuring the vibrancy of the art form for decades to come.”

“CCM is proud to continue our partnership with Cincinnati Opera, and we are grateful for the wonderful gift that makes this possible,” said Peter Jutras, the Thomas James Kelly Professor of Music and Dean at CCM. “Opera Fusion: New Works is an initiative that exemplifies the spirit of our university’s ‘Next Lives Here’ strategic direction, connecting our students with the artists who are shaping the future of their industry and adding to the opera repertoire with impactful stories that resonate with contemporary audiences.”

Up Next for OF:NW: THE POST OFFICE
Cincinnati Opera and CCM are also pleased to share details of the next opera to be workshopped through OF:NW: The Post Office, with music by Laura Kaminsky and libretto by Elaine Sexton. A public performance of excerpts will take place Saturday, March 22, 2025, at 7:30 p.m. at Cincinnati Music Hall.

The work is set in a one-room post office, where three U.S. postal workers and a customer from disparate backgrounds take sides in a blistering conflict centered around same-sex marriage. The formerly collegial friendship between the postmaster, who is Black and straight, and his colleague, who is white and gay, turns foul when the latter happily
announces his upcoming wedding. Taking place in the present day, with increasing hostility, toxicity, and violence playing out in the news, everyday exchanges become fraught: civil rights, reproductive rights, and LGBTQIA rights are challenged and threatened, and the sanctity of the postal service itself is at risk.

When the reverend’s rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren’s reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid. The heartfelt story that emerges pins a father longing for the son he lost against a young man aching for the father who walked out on him.

Ali is a 17-year-old girl full of fire–searching for freedom, passion and her place in the world. How she finds them is a New York City coming-of-age story you’ve never felt before– Hell’s Kitchen, a new musical from 16-time Grammy® Award winner Alicia Keys, whose new songs and greatest hits about growing up in NY inspire a story made for Broadway. Rebellious and stifled by an overprotective single mother, Ali is lost until she meets her mentor: a neighbor who opens her heart and mind to the power of the piano. Set to the rhythm of the 90s, Hell’s Kitchen is a love story between a mother and daughter. It’s about finding yourself, your purpose, and the community that lifts you. Come remember where dreams begin. Hailed as a New York Times Critic’s Pick that is, “thrilling from beginning to end–a rare must-see!” Hell’s Kitchen is directed by four-time Tony Award nominee Michael Greif, with choreography by four-time Tony Award nominee Camille A.

Baltimore Sun raves “Powerhouse performances. Stunning choreography. Visionary sets” and Chicago Tribune proclaims The Wiz is “An eye-popping and high-intensity revival! This groundbreaking twist on The Wizard of Oz changed the face of Broadway—from its iconic score packed with soul, gospel, rock, and 70s funk to its stirring tale of Dorothy’s journey to find her place in a contemporary world. Everybody rejoice—this dynamite infusion of ballet, jazz, and modern pop brings a whole new groove to easing on down the road! 

Chicago                                                                                  March 24 – 29, 2026

Chicago is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a

universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen. In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy. Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for 28 years, playing more than 10,000 performances and receiving 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®.

The critically acclaimed bestselling novel comes to “thrilling, dazzling” life (Time Out New York) in a unique, spectacle-filled new musical! Hailed as a Critic’s Pick, The New York Times calls it “stunning, emotional, heart-filled and gorgeously imaginative.” After losing what matters most, a young man jumps a moving train unsure of where the road will take him and finds a new home with the remarkable crew of a traveling circus, and a life—and love—beyond his wildest dreams. Seen through the eyes of his older self, his adventure becomes a poignant reminder that if you choose the ride, life can begin again at any age. Tony Award®-nominated director Jessica Stone’s “huge, heart-filling” production (The New York Times) features a book by three-time Tony nominee Rick Elice adapted from Sara Gruen’s novel, and a soaring score by the acclaimed PigPen Theatre Co. So, step right up to the “spellbinding entertainment” (Variety) at Water for Elephants, “the best new musical on Broadway” (Theatermania).
