“Although we are midway through our 2023/24 Season, we are eager to welcome back subscribers for next year’s MainStage productions.  Current subscribers will be receiving their renewal forms in the mail soon and are first in line to maintain their existing seat or make a request for changes.”  Andrew Kato, the organization’s Producing Artistic Director/Chief Executive admits. “Getting great seat locations, whether you are a current subscriber or want to become one is best achieved by getting your subscription form in early.  The early bird definitely gets the worm when it comes to securing seats.”  The Theatre’s current production of Beautiful: The Carole King Musical is receiving raves from audiences with many people shut out from seeing the production because it sold out days after it opened.  “There is literally nothing available for this production to sell, reveals Kato.  “If you’re a subscriber, you don’t miss out!”

The 2024/25 MainStage Season contains a great selection of thrilling adventures:

DECEIVED, Based on Patrick Hamilton’s Gaslight

The term “gaslighting” a person has become part of the public’s contemporary lexicon, however, it was coined from the 1938 British play called Gas Light.  Opening the 2024/25 season is Deceived, a mystery based on this play by Patrick Hamilton. Adapted by Johanna Wright and Patty Jamieson, this new female-empowered version, which premiered at the Shaw Festival in Canada, drops the male detective character. The edge-of-your-seat story follows a husband who is manipulating his wife into thinking she is crazy by slyly changing the intensity of the gas lights in their home when she is left alone. He does this in an attempt to make her believe she cannot trust herself or her memory. Running October 27 through November 10, 2024, patrons are invited to the North American premiere of this suspenseful journey set in Victorian London where secrets fester and nothing seems as it appears. This psychological thriller delves into the depths of manipulation, deception and paranoia with a chilling outcome that will have the audience questioning their own perception of reality.
