Breakdown

American Stage Theatre Company 2026-27 Season

A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN
Written by Randy Johnson
Directed by TBA
First Rehearsal: August 25, 2026
Tech: September 10 - 13, 2026
Opening: September 18, 2026
Closing: October 11, 2026

SYNOPSIS: Spend a night with the legend Janis Joplin as she shares her inspirations, her story and the gift of her talent. Featuring Janis’s biggest hits including “Piece of My Heart,” “Me and Bobby McGee” and so many more, this musical will have you leaving the theatre with your heart full. A music driven theatre event focusing on the artist, her music, and her musical influences.

UNHINGED
Written by Steven J. Burge
Directed by Helen R. Murray
First Rehearsal: October 20, 2026
Tech: October 29 - November 1, 2026
Opening: November 6, 2026
Closing: November 22, 2026

SYNOPSIS: Part confessional. Part storytelling. All ridiculous, “UNHINGED” is a 75-minute tour de force that, depending on statutes of limitations and local laws regarding admission of guilt wherever this may be produced, is either 100% fictional or entirely autobiographical. Trigger warning: This show contains a cis white man talking about himself for over an hour. It also contains some legit-upsetting topics like
parallel parking; theater camp; coming out in small-town, rural America; assault; addiction; pickle ball; and mental illness. Oh! And clowns!

MACBETH, MACBETH, MACBETH
Written By Helen R. Murray
Directed by Rex Daugherty
First Rehearsal: January 5, 2027
Tech: January 21 - 24, 2027
Opening: January 29, 2027
Closing: February 21, 2027

SYNOPSIS: This wild new adaptation launches Shakespeare’s Macbeth into a three-person theatrical hurricane. Heroes become villains, witches become warriors, and kings don’t stay kings for long as performers swap roles at breakneck speed. It’s a hilarious, high-stakes game of theatrical musical chairs — with daggers. But as the laughter builds, so does the question at the heart of the story: Why do we
crave power… even when we know it will cost us everything? A sharp, physical, and darkly funny world premiere that proves the fastest way to the throne is also the messiest.

SHREK THE MUSICAL
Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by David Lindsay-Abaire
Based on the Dreamworks Animated Motion Picture & the book by William Steig
Directed by Helen R. Murray
First Rehearsal: March 9, 2027
Tech: March 23 - 28, 2027
Opening: April 2, 2027
Closing: May 2, 2027

Note: This production occurs offsite and outdoors at Demens Landing Park.

SYNOPSIS: "Once upon a time, there was a little ogre named Shrek...." And thus begins the tale of an unlikely hero who finds himself on a life-changing journey alongside a wisecracking Donkey and a feisty princess who resists her rescue. Throw in a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there's
one on hand... and his name is Shrek. Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks Animation film, Shrek The Musical brings all the beloved characters you know from the film to life on stage and proves there's more to the story than meets the ears.

MS. HOLMES & MS. WATSON - APT 2B
Written by Kate Hamill
Directed by TBA
First Rehearsal: May 18, 2027
Tech: May 27 - 30, 2027
Opening: June 4, 2027
Closing: June 20, 2027

SYNOPSIS: An irreverent, darkly comic, modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth and sidekick, this fast-paced romp re-examines the world’s most famous detective story with a bold new feminist lens. In this highly theatrical, small cast escapade, oddball female roommates Sherlock Holmes & Joan Watson join forces to emerge from pandemic fog as a deeply codependent, quasi-dysfunctional
Odd Couple adventure duo - solving mysteries and kicking butts, until they come face to face with a villain who seems to have all of the answers.
