Auditions Announced for TINDERBOX at Falcon Theatre

Auditions continue for our 2026-2027 season!

Aug. 17 & 18 from 6:30-8:30pm

Directed by Ted Weil

Auditions consist of cold readings from the script.

Next week we are holding auditions for TINDERBOX by Lucy Kirkwood. Additional information about how to prepare can be found on our website: https://falcontheater.net/current-season/auditions/

Production dates: Nov. 6-21

About TINDERBOX:
Sometime in the not-so-distant future, the British Isles are dissolving into the sea. Cities are rioting. Scotland has become a foreign country. And in a Bradford butcher shop clinging to the memory of a glorious past, Saul Everard reigns over his little kingdom of tradition, nationalism, and questionable cuts of meat.

When a fugitive Scottish artist — soaking wet and desperately on the run — crawls through the door seeking sanctuary, the uneasy balance of Saul’s world begins to crack. What follows is a love triangle, a power struggle, and a series of increasingly alarming discoveries about what, exactly, is in the sausages.

TINDERBOX is the electrifying debut of one of Britain’s most celebrated playwrights — fast, wild, and farcically funny, with a pitch-black comic vision that cuts right to the bone. -Bookmate

Lucy Kirkwood went on to write Chimerica, The Children, and Mosquitoes — but it all started here, with a butcher, his wife, and a very suspicious shop.

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.
