2026-2027 Season Announced by The Drama Workshop

AND THEN THERE WERE NONE
By Agatha Christie
Directed by Amy Eyers
August 2026

Building off our successful run of The Mousetrap, we are thrilled to present Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None, a tightly-crafted, edge-of-your-seat mystery. The classic Christie mystery that has inspired dozens of copycats and spoofs will be brought to life on the Drama Workshop stage by Amy Eyers, who directed TDW’s Mousetrap.  Ten strangers are invited to a remote island under vague pretenses, only to find that they must face a terrifying truth: the killer is among them, and no one is safe.

MISERY
by Stephen King, adaptation by William Goldman
Directed by Dane Rogers and Sarah Rogers
September 2026

You asked for more suspense, and we’re bringing it. Misery, adapted by William Goldman from Stephen King’s chilling novel, delivers a nerve-tightening thriller. When famed novelist Paul Sheldon crashes his car in a snowstorm, he’s “rescued” by Annie Wilkes, his self-proclaimed number-one fan. Directed by Dane Rogers and Sarah Rogers, this battle of wits and survival unfolds in this gripping, claustrophobic psychological drama — perfect for the intimacy of the TDW stage.

Ken Ludwig’s THE GAME’S AFOOT
By Ken Ludwig
Directed by Micheal Kiser
December, 2026

In classic TDW fashion, we are excited to bring you another non-traditional holiday offering. We’re lightening things up a bit with Ken Ludwig’s hilarious The Game’s Afoot, a witty comedy brought to you by Calendar Girls director, Micheal Kiser. Broadway star William Gillette invites his fellow cast members to his lavish mansion for a holiday gathering, but the night takes a wild turn after a mysterious attack, and theatrical chaos ensues.

HOME BREW #10

TDW’s popular festival of 10 minute plays by local authors will be back for a tenth time in 2027. Tickets are an option for Season Ticket purchasers.

MAN OF LA MANCHA
Book by Dale Wasserman
Music by Mitch Lee
Lyrics by Joe Darion
Directed by Dennis Murphy
March, 2027

And next, we are overjoyed to share with you that we dreamed an impossible dream and are making it a reality! Our Spring musical is Man of La Mancha, book by Dale Wasserman, music by Mitch Lee, and lyrics by Joe Darion – and directed by Dennis Murphy! This sweeping, inspirational musical brings Miguel de Cervantes’ legendary Don Quixote to life with passion, humor, and unforgettable songs!

PAINT NIGHT
By Carey Crim
Directed by Rose Vanden Eynden
May, 2027

After the heartwarming success of Calendar Girls, we’re excited to bring you another female-driven story that blends humor, vulnerability, and unexpected bravery. Paint Night, written by Carey Crim and directed by Rose Vanden Eynden, is a humorous, heartfelt exploration of friendship, second chances, and starting over. Reminiscent of the warmth and spirit of Steel Magnolias, Paint Night explores a group of women gathering for what should be a simple evening of wine and art but that evolves into an exploration of big emotions and buried truths.
