GCU Unveils 2025-26 Theatrical Season with Diverse Productions
The season offers a blend of classic and modern works, ensuring a dynamic and engaging experience for theatergoers. From the poignant realism of "Our Town" to the quirky humor of "Little Shop of Horrors," and from the timeless tragedy of "Romeo and Juliet" to the bluegrass charm of "Bright Star," each production promises to entertain, inspire, and leave a lasting impression.
GCU's upcoming theatrical season promises to be an exciting and eclectic mix of classic plays and modern musicals, featuring four productions that cater to a wide range of emotions and interests. The season kicks off in September with "Our Town," a timeless play by Thornton Wilder, and concludes with "Bright Star," a Grammy-winning musical by Steven Martin and Edie Brickell.
The season's lineup includes "Little Shop of Horrors," a darkly comedic rock musical about a plant with a taste for human blood, directed by and featuring music by Mark Fearey. In the spring semester, a contemporary version of "Romeo and Juliet" will be performed, directed by Michael Kary, putting a modern twist on the classic love story. Each production is designed to be fun and approachable, making the season an attractive offering for audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
The productions are notable not only for their diverse themes and styles but also for their attention to detail and creative direction. "Our Town," for example, will feature a minimalist approach, reflecting the play's emphasis on everyday life. This thoughtful approach to production design ensures that each performance will be a unique and engaging experience for the audience.
With its rich and varied lineup, GCU's 2025-26 theatrical season is set to captivate audiences and provide a memorable experience for all who attend. Whether you're a fan of classic drama, musical comedy, or contemporary storytelling, there's something for everyone in this exciting season of performances.
