The 2021 season — reconceived.
Theater reconceived to excel in a virtual environment — for both theater makers and audiences. Stories that speak to our times and productions that we want to revisit again. All content will be available on-demand for your convenience. For those who love our pre- and post-performance events, we’re making plans to take them online, so you can reconnect with friends and Playhouse staff alike.
2021 season overview
Tiny House
Jun 29 – Jul 18
Tiny House is a perfect play to be recreated for our virtual world and will open our 2021 season in June, directed by Mark Lamos. A thoughtful new comedy with characters whose lives are reduced to smaller human circles is something we can all relate to.

Doubt: A Parable
Nov 2 – 21
John Patrick Shanley’s Doubt: A Parable will close the season in late fall. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner is an intimate drama which explores the the consequences of missed cues and decisions made from differing points of view.
