"Catch Me If You Can" (July 18-Aug. 8, 2026) opens the main season. Based on the true story of con artist Frank Abagnale Jr., this Tony Award-nominated musical follows a young man who successfully performed cons worth millions of dollars by posing as an airline pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor — all before his 21st birthday.

"Blithe Spirit" (Aug. 29-Sept. 19, 2026) is Noël Coward’s classic comedy centered on a novelist whose dinner party séance goes wrong when the ghost of his first wife makes an uninvited and very disruptive appearance.

"A Christmas Carol" (Dec. 5-19, 2026) LTA’s beloved holiday tradition returns! Journey to Victorian London at Christmastime, where three unforgettable ghosts visit the miserly Scrooge. A timeless story of redemption, generosity, and the magic of Christmas - perfect for the whole family.

"Once on This Island" (Feb. 6-27, 2027) is a Tony Award-winning musical set in the French Antilles, telling the story of a peasant girl whose love for a wealthy young man leads her on a journey guided by the island’s gods.

"The Pitmen Painters" (April 3-25, 2027) is Lee Hall’s acclaimed drama about a group of coal miners in 1930s northeast England who become unlikely artists under the guidance of a university art teacher.

The season closes with "Calendar Girls" (May 22-June 12, 2027), Tim Firth’s comedy based on the true story of a group of Women’s Institute members from Yorkshire who posed for a charity calendar and sparked an international sensation.
