2025-2026 Season Announce by Loveland Stage Company

Loveland Stage Company is thrilled to announce our 2025/2026 Season

Get ready for a year packed with laughter, heart, magic, and powerful storytelling. Here’s what’s coming to our stage:

SOMETHING ROTTEN
Directed by Amy Prestridge

Welcome to the Renaissance! This hilarious musical comedy follows two struggling playwright brothers as they try to outshine Shakespeare by writing the world’s very first musical. Witty, wild, and full of show-stopping numbers, it’s a love letter to theatre with a big wink.


ZANNA, DON’T!
Directed by Nick Huitger

In a magical, musical world where being gay is the norm and hetero love is taboo, Zanna—a matchmaking teen with a wand and a mission—helps his fellow students find their happily-ever-afters. A bold and heartwarming tale about acceptance, identity, and turning the world upside down.


THE WIZARD OF OZ
Directed by Carissa Sloan

Follow the yellow brick road with Dorothy, Toto, and a trio of unforgettable friends as they journey through Oz in search of home, heart, courage, and a way back to Kansas. Packed with classic songs and timeless magic, this family favorite returns to enchant a whole new generation.


INDEPENDENCE
Directed by KB Scheiding
In this intimate and compelling drama by Lee Blessing, three sisters return to their small Iowa hometown to confront long-buried secrets, family trauma, and their complex relationship with their fiercely independent mother. A moving exploration of identity, loyalty, and breaking free.
