Season 72

We are currently selling Flex Passes for our 72nd season (2024-2025), and they will be available for purchase through December 31st, 2024. A standard Season Flex Pass entitles the purchaser to six Main Stage tickets for the price of five, plus four Second Stage tickets for the price of two. The Thursday Night Special Flex Pass entitles the purchaser to six Main Stage tickets at a deep discount, but these tickets may only be redeemed for Thursday night performances. With all of our Flex Passes, you choose whether to see every show or redeem multiple tickets for the same show, and in addition to the straight savings over purchasing tickets individually, you’ll never pay ShowClix service charges when reserving your tickets, either. This is the ideal way to enjoy Town & Gown performances all season long for less!

Volunteer!

From set construction to buying toilet paper, we count on volunteers to keep our shows running. Fill out this volunteer form to let us know your talents and interests.

Auditions December 9 & 10, 2024
Performances February 7-16, 2025

“Some say that as we grow up we become different people at different ages, but I don’t believe this. I think we remain the same throughout, merely passing in these years from one room to another, but always in the same house. If we unlock the rooms of the far past, we can look in and see ourselves beginning to become you and me.” Sarah Ruhl’s endearing look at siblings being called back to their own Neverland 50 years later, as they face their own inevitable aging, the death of their father, and the dreamy allure of never growing up.
