The Shadow Box

Told with laughter and tears, this poignant 1977 Pulitzer Prize-winning production shows how hope and love sustain three people facing death, as well as the coping mechanisms (or lack thereof) of their loved ones.
Written by by Michael Cristofer
Directed by Richard Chaney
Performances: October 3–12, 2025

Art

How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? As an argument between old friends becomes less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. Directed by Billy Hallberg. Performances: October 24-26, 2025.

Winter in Boulevard

Directed by Harriet Anderson, Winter in Boulevard is a new musical review celebrating the festive season in Athens. You’ll hear songs both familiar and new, spanning decades of good cheer- from classic carols and crooners to those pervasive pop tunes that herald the beginning of the holidays each year. Performances December 5-14, 2025.

Season 73 Flex Passes

We are currently selling Flex Passes for our 73rd season (2025-2026). 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.

Five Blue Haired Ladies Sitting on a Green Park Bench

Show Dates May 5-7, 2023
Anna, Eva, Rose, Gladys and La La had only two things in common when they met seven months ago: a park bench and a life well-lived. Through fond and sometimes painful memories, keen observations and a good belly laugh now and again, these gals are truly on the cusp of eighty, going on eighteen. Bound by each other’s strengths, wisdom and witticisms, each one unwittingly prepares for the day they leave the bench, perhaps for the last time.
