Welcome to
Stages Theatre Company’s
2025-26 Season!

Welcome to our 2025-2026
Season that Brings
Us Together!

So many things bring us together, shared moments, special celebrations, meaningful conversations, a good hearty laugh. Stories that we see onstage can transform moments into memories by engaging emotions and imagination with those we care about. Our 2025-2026 season is designed to bring families, classrooms and artists TOGETHER, and to bring joy.

Our season has a simple but profound mission: bringing us together. Through tales that span from the whimsical to the heartfelt, from animals to humans, from magical lands to everyday moments, each play is a reminder of the ways in which we share our lives, our joys, and our challenges. We open with Charlotte’s Web where a brave spider makes a selfless choice for her friend which creates connections that last far beyond a lifetime. Next, we’re hitting the holiday season early with a world premiere musical and joining Spookley, Mistletoe, Scat, Scram and Shoo to find out what really makes a place a home. Buddy the Elf takes us through the rest of the Holiday season and reminds us of the importance of creating community and the spirit of generosity! Gerald dances us into the New Year in Giraffes Can’t Dance where we celebrate individuality and friendship with incredible music. In The Girl Who Drank The Moon , we dive into a mystical world where love, bravery, and the courage to break free allow us to see the world with new eyes. We’re hitting a home run this spring with the world premiere musical The Right Thing To Do: The Joe Mauer Story which reminds us that every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the power to create a ripple effect that transforms our communities. Shrek is coming out of the swamp this summer to show that sometimes the most unlikely heroes have the biggest hearts. Finally we round out our season with our offering for our youngest explorers as we dig for dinosaurs together in Explorasaurus!

As we gather together for each of these stories, I hope you will find those moments of connection, of laughter, of reflection, and of love – whether in friendship, family, or community. We look forward to sharing that with you, throughout the entire year.
