"Sunday in the Park with George" — Feb. 10-March 28, 2027

Art, love and life beautifully collide in Stephen Sondheim's masterpiece inspired by Georges Seurat's famous painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte." In 1880s Paris, painter Georges Seurat is consumed by passion for his work, meticulously capturing every color and curve of the world around him. But as he chases perfection on the canvas, he risks losing Dot — the woman who inspires him. A century later, another George, Seurat's great-grandson, struggles with the same questions of meaning, legacy and connection in a modern world that often overlooks the value of art.

"Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" — April 28-June 13, 2027

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's beloved musical reimagines the story of Joseph, a dreamer whose gift of prophecy and bright optimism set him apart from his eleven brothers. When jealousy lands him in trouble, Joseph’s journey takes him from the depths of despair to the heights of success.
