2026-2027 Season Announced by Falcon Theatre

Falcon’s upcoming season will have something for everyone!  We will be featuring many regional premieres again as well as our first repertory event.  So without any further ado…here it is…our season for 2026-27 (cue fanfare)!

EUREKA DAY by Jonathan Spector

Fresh off its 2025 Tony win for Best Revival of a Play!

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. When a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive.

Performance Dates: September 10-26, 2026

TINDERBOX by Lucy Kirkwood

Fast, wild and farcically funny,

Lucy Kirkwood’s first full-length play is a disturbing vision of a dystopian future.  Sometime in the 21st Century, England is dissolving into the sea. Amidst the chaos, one man clings to his traditional British values and his love of meat.

Performance Dates: November 6-21, 2026

SHAKESPEARE’S R&J by Joe Calarco
– and –
ANTIGONE by Lulu Raczka

Performed in Rep!  See both shows in 1 Weekend!

These 2 modern takes on classic literature are a perfect balance of modern sensibilities imposed over classical tragedy.

Shakespeare’s R&J joins 4 students in an all boys boarding school who have discovered Romeo and Juliet and take to reading it aloud together as as escape from the strict schedule and mores they face at the school.  Their nighttime reading turns into a liberating retelling of one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays.

Written by the same author as last season’s A Girls In School Uniform…this retelling of Sophocles’ masterpiece is focused on only Antigone and her sister Ismene as the only characters we see on stage.  The relationship between these two teenage girls is a stark contrast to the war going on in Greece and the political pressures they have to navigate to simply mourn their dead brother.

Performance Dates: January 22-February 13, 2027

THE MOORS by Jen Silverman

A Gothic queer thriller.

Two sisters and a dog live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. The arrival of a hapless governess and a moor-hen set all three on a strange and dangerous path. The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.

Performance Dates: March 19-April 3, 2027 

THE BEACON by Nancy Harris

Secrets are resurfacing from the depths in this Irish drama

A mysterious accident. A dead husband. People are talking. Is the past ever truly dead?  Beiv, a celebrated artist, has moved from suburban Dublin to her holiday cottage on an island off the coast of West Cork. But a dark shadow from the past hangs over her. When her estranged son and his new young wife arrive to stay, she is faced with some difficult questions.

Performance Dates: May 7-22, 2027

Single ticket and Flex Pass sales will be available online soon!  Watch our website and your email for more information about this fantastic season.

THE APIARY Runs May 1-16

THE APIARY
Falcon Theatre
May 1-16
[Newport]

Directed by Chad Brinkman

Cast: Anna Hazard as Cece/Kara/Anna/Bryn, Rachel Mock as Zora, Natasha Boeckmann as Pilar & Amanda Marasch as Gwen

It’s twenty-two years in the future, and honeybees are nearly extinct except for those kept alive inside of labs. Zora is overqualified for her new job at one of these labs, but she’s there because she loves bees—or what is left of them. Her stressed supervisor, Gwen, has learned to keep her head and budget down so her research doesn’t get discontinued. Zora, however, doesn’t mind spending her own time and money to try to rehabilitate the bee population. When an unfortunate incident leads to a boost in the bees’ numbers, Zora and her coworker Pilar have to decide just how far they’re willing to go to keep the population growing. An unsettling and sharp-witted cautionary tale, The Apiary warns that the key to protecting each other and the planet is right in front of us, if only we would listen.

A GIRL IN A SCHOOL UNIFORM (WALKS INTO A BAR) Runs Jan. 23-Feb. 7

A GIRL IN A SCHOOL UNIFORM (WALKS INTO A BAR)
Falcon Theatre
Jan. 23-Feb. 7
[Newport]

Directed by Samantha Joy Weil

Cast: Kaitlin McCulloch as Bell & Ella Prather as Steph

Schoolgirl Steph walks into the seedy, empty bar where Bell works. Bell is dressed with everything short and low, and there are no longer any regulars at her bar. Whatever has happened to create this dystopian world remains a mystery, but we learn that there are frequent blackouts, people regularly go missing and women are being killed.

Steph is looking for her friend Charlotte, a girl who also at some point walked into Bell’s bar but then went missing. The relationship between Bell and Charlotte is unclear, as her conversations with Steph shift between truth, lies and fantasy. In this tense atmosphere, where there is a sense of growing fear, the play ” forces the audience to turn detective not just to track down the elusive Charlotte but also to find meaning itself” (The Guardian).
