We’re excited to announce our 2027 Season: PERSPECTIVE IS EVERYTHING.

Whose story gets told. Whose gets believed. What changes when you finally stand where someone else has been standing all along.

That lens runs through everything we’re making in 2027.

Swipe through to learn more about four plays, four points of view, and a season of theatre that asks you to look again.

Love Letters by A.R. Gurney

Starring Nell Nolan and Michael A. Newcomer

CCS Studio | One Night Only Series

FEBRUARY 14, 2027

For the third year running, we open our season and our One Night Only series with Gurney’s two-hander. Andy and Melissa write to each other across fifty years, from summer-camp postcards to the things they could never say out loud. He becomes a senator, she a restless artist, and two actors reading side-by-side build a whole lifetime out of what’s said and what’s left unsaid. Funny, tender, and quietly devastating.

Mariorie Prime by Jordan Harrison

Contemporary Arts Center | Welcome to the Theatre series

MARCH 2027

In the near future, 85-year-old Marjorie keeps company with a version of her late husband at thirty, programmed with only what her family chooses to tell him. As he learns their marriage from the people who remember it, the play asks how much of love is memory, and what happens when we get to edit the past. A Pulitzer Prize finalist.

Othello by William Shakespeare
adapted by Michael A. Newcomer

Developed through public presentations in the One Night Only series

TBD 2027

Shakespeare’s tragedy of jealousy and manipulation, stripped to five actors in a world premiere adaptation. Iago whispers just enough doubt to bring down a celebrated general and everyone who loves him. With so few performers, the story has nowhere to hide, and neither does the audience.

John Proctor is the Villain by Kimberly Belflower

Contemporary Arts Center | Welcome to Theatre series

OCTOBER 2027

A class of Georgia high schoolers reads The Crucible just as a scandal around a beloved teacher breaks open. The girls start asking who gets believed, who gets protected, and who gets cast as the villain. Sharp, funny, and furious, and a Broadway hit before this regiona

Bard @ the Batture: Ladies’ Night Photo Album

October 5 & 6, 2026 The Batture

The rain stayed away, the sunset was glorious, w**e and cheese was enjoyed from Miss. Market and the Bard’s words resonated with a beautiful backdrop of the Mississippi River.

Improv in Real Life

Ever wanted to try improv but thought, “That’s for actors — not me”?

Well guess what? This class isn’t just for actors. It’s for humans.

If you’ve ever wanted to feel more confident speaking up in a meeting, or just get out of your head and into some laughter… this is for you.

The first Wednesday of every month, come to Improv IRL, it’s a 90 min drop-in class that’s kind of like a happy hour… but with play instead of drinks. 🍹

It’s fun, supportive, and totally low-stakes — you don’t have to be funny, just willing to try.

We play games that help you loosen up, take risks, and actually enjoy being seen.

If you’ve been craving something to shake up your week, come join us!

🗓 Wednesdays 7-8:30PM
💵 $40 drop-in
