✨ Full Season Lineup:

1. October 2025:
   "The Cottage: Broadway's Killer Comedy" – Fresh from its hit Broadway run, this brand-new, side-splitting romp is an outrageous tale of sex, betrayal, and desire as one woman decides to expose her latest affair to both her husband — and to her lover’s wife. The true meaning of love, commitment and marriage are called into question as a surprising, hilarious web of secrets unravels in this ridiculous—potentially murderous—comedy set in the 1920’s.

2. November 2025:
   "Head Over Heels: The Go-Go's Musical" - Head Over Heels unfolds in the mythical kingdom of Arcadia, where a mysterious prophecy predicts impending doom. The royal family and their subjects embark on a quest to save their world, navigating love, mistaken identities, and self-discovery along the way. Set to the iconic hits of the Go-Go’s, this high-energy musical is a celebration of acceptance, freedom, and finding your own beat.

3. December 2025:
   "Doublewide, Texas Christmas" – It’s Christmastime in one of the smallest trailer park towns in Texas, and the residents are gearing up for holiday cheer—with a side of quirky complications. Between an unexpected celebrity visit, raccoon trouble, and the threat of being annexed by the county, this ragtag crew is determined to save their town and their holiday spirit. Packed with outrageous characters and laugh-out-loud moments, this is one Lone Star Christmas you won’t forget.

4. January 2026:
   "Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor" - The coffee is strong, the jokes are sharp, and the egos are enormous in Neil Simon’s Laughter on the 23rd Floor. Inspired by Simon’s own days in the writers’ room of Your Show of Shows, this behind-the-scenes comedy captures the outrageous antics, razor-sharp banter, and heartfelt camaraderie of a team of comic geniuses. A fast, funny, and unforgettable theatre experience. 

5. February 2026:
   "The Graduate" – Based on the 1963 coming-of-age classic and scripted by Terry Johnson, The Graduate follows Benjamin Braddock, a twenty-one-year-old recent college graduate facing high expectations from his parents and uncertainty about his future. Upon returning home, Ben is seduced by Mrs. Robinson—the wife of his father’s business partner—beginning a secret affair that unravels when he falls for her daughter, Elaine. DTW’s production is presented in the round in our intimate Blackbox Theater, placing you right in the center of the drama.

6. March 2026:
   "The Cher Show" – The Cher Show is the dazzling jukebox musical celebrating the life and career of the one and only Goddess of Pop. Featuring all of Cher’s biggest hits, stunning costumes, and show-stopping performances, this musical tells her story through three actresses portraying Cher at different points in her life. It’s a bold, glamorous, and unforgettable tribute to the woman who proved she could “turn back time.”

7. April 2026:
   "The Crucible" – Arthur Miller’s The Crucible is a suspense-filled classic that will keep you on the edge of your seat. In the rigid Puritan community of Salem, whispers of witchcraft ignite a wave of fear and suspicion, setting neighbor against neighbor in a deadly game of accusation and hysteria. DTW favorite Tess Phillips stars as Abigail Williams, the cunning and manipulative young woman whose lies and vengeful schemes spark the Salem witch trials.
