Tickets are now on sale for the world premiere of “The Visitors” by Bryna Turner (2026 Festival) at Second Stage Theater ! Link in Bio.

Begins October 21st at the Irene Diamond Stage/Pershing Square Signature Center.

Joanna is in her mid-thirties and eager to become a parent. When she invites her three siblings to her New York City apartment to ask them for a shocking favor, they’re all forced to get to know each other as adults — but whether they’ll emerge from the visit closer or more at odds than ever is anyone’s guess. From playwright Bryna Turner and director Jenna Worsham, the acclaimed team behind The New York Times Critic’s Pick “At the Wedding”, comes “The Visitors”, a wry, heartfelt world premiere comedy-drama about finally meeting the people you’ve known your whole life.

Tickets are now on sale for the world premiere of “Adirondack Chair Circle” by Stephanie Alison Walker (2026 Festival) ! Link below and in bio.

Oct 22 — Dec 6, 2026 in the Ensemble Theater

Banna has it all… Or at least that’s what the other suburban moms think.

Beneath the charcuterie boards, backyard soirees and pickleball, there’s a funny feeling bubbling underneath this seemingly perfect facade. Is it the pressure to save her children from the beliefs of the school district? Or is it just that suspicious crow watching her every move? A piercing premiere from a playful Chicago voice, Stephanie Alison Walker’s Adirondack Chair Circle exposes the hilarious hypocrisy of the clubs we join and the company we keep.
And has a damn good time doing it.

The year is 2169. Wildfires rage across the West as two environmental activists embark on a daring plan to steal a taxidermied bison from the American Museum of Natural History. This is the premise of Collin Van Son’s latest play and before it’s produced by the Mosaic Theater Company in Washington, D.C., it’s coming to Steamboat Springs during the Colorado New Play Festival next month. Ahead of the reading, Collin chatted with Steamboat Magazine on his writing background (with a surprise twist), his creative process and what he hopes the audience will take away from this project.
