2024-2025 Season
Season Announcement
The Theatre Factory is thrilled to announce our 29th season, a captivating lineup of shows that explore the depths of the human experience with a blend of suspense, humor, and heartfelt storytelling. This season, we invite our community to journey with us through tales of courage, resilience, and the transformative power of love and laughter.
Kicking off the season is Stephen King’s Misery, a gripping tale of obsession and survival. This suspenseful drama sets the stage for a season that delves into the complexities of human emotion and the lengths to which we go in the face of adversity. Next, we lighten the mood with Guys & Dolls, the “perfect musical comedy” that introduces us to New York City’s classic gamblers and showgirls, where love and luck intertwine in a dance of chance and choice.
Our journey continues with The Laramie Project, a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of community and compassion in the wake of tragedy. This documentary-style play reflects on the horrific, real-life events in Laramie, Wyoming, and challenges us to consider the impact of intolerance and the importance of empathy. We then change pace with You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, a heartwarming musical that celebrates the simple joys and timeless wisdom of childhood, reminding us of the enduring value of friendship and kindness.
Rounding out the season are two productions that offer a thrilling mix of intrigue and wit. The Sherlock Quandary is an original play that brings the iconic detective story to our stage in a refreshing new way with a comedic twist. Finally, we close with A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder, a hilarious and charming musical comedy that explores the art of ambition and the unpredictable twists of fate.
Join us at The Theatre Factory as we celebrate a season filled with unforgettable stories and remarkable performances. Each production promises to engage, inspire, and entertain, showcasing the extraordinary talent within our community. We can't wait to share these incredible stories with you and continue building a vibrant and inclusive community through the magic of theatre.
