Green Day’s American Idiot
May 1–23, 2026
Fueled by the explosive energy of Green Day’s Grammy Award–winning album, American Idiot is a high-octane rock musical that follows three friends as they navigate the disillusionment and confusion of post-9/11 America. With an electrifying score and raw, urgent storytelling, the show captures the voice of a generation searching for meaning in a media-saturated, war-torn world.

The Highest Tide
March 6–22, 2026
Presented in partnership with Book-It Repertory Theatre
Adapted from Jim Lynch’s beloved novel, The Highest Tide is a poetic, funny, and deeply personal coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of Puget Sound. When 13-year-old Miles O’Malley discovers an incredible sea creature during a midnight low tide, his small coastal town is thrown into the national spotlight. Through his growing fascination with marine biology and his search for understanding in a world of chaos, Miles’ journey becomes one of connection—to the sea, to science, and to his own emerging self. Presented with Book-It’s signature style of storytelling through narrative and action, this production invites us to rediscover the wonder of the natural world.
The Hunchback of Notre Dame
December 5–21, 2025
Based on the Victor Hugo novel and featuring the soaring music of Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast), this epic musical tells the powerful story of Quasimodo, the bell-ringer of Notre Dame Cathedral. Isolated from society but longing for connection, he finds courage and love in the face of prejudice and fear. With unforgettable characters, stunning choral music, and breathtaking theatricality, this production resonates with the timeless themes of identity, compassion, and the price of justice.
The Play That Goes Wrong
October 3–26, 2025
Part Monty Python, part Sherlock Holmes, and 100% chaos—this Olivier Award–winning farce follows an ambitious (but hopelessly inept) theater troupe attempting to stage a 1920s murder mystery. As the set crumbles, props disappear, and lines are flubbed beyond recognition, the cast members do their best to soldier on through the most catastrophically funny opening night you’ll ever see. A side-splitting celebration of theatrical disaster that will leave you in stitches.
