Theatreworks Current Season
This season at Theatreworks, we're telling the stories that cut to the bone — and the ones that quietly break your heart open. From the macabre grandeur of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, Sondheim's chilling masterpiece reimagined for our intimate stage, to the sparkling, volatile wit of Noël Coward's Private Lives, where love and chaos arrive on the same honeymoon terrace — we're opening the season with productions that crackle with energy and dare you to look away. Then we go deeper. Heidi Schreck's What the Constitution Means to Me turns personal history into urgent civic reckoning, Lynn Nottage's Pulitzer Prize-winning Sweat rebuilds the American working class in a small-town bar with devastating humanity, and Dear Elizabeth — directed by Max Shulman — draws us into the luminous, letter-bound friendship of two of America's greatest poets. It's a season of sharp edges and tender revelations, of big questions asked in intimate rooms. Live, electric, and made for you.
