Huron Country Playhouse.
“Our 2026 Season spans genres, emotions, and generations but at its core, it's about what unites us: the need to laugh, to feel, to dream, and to share the experience together,” says Artistic Director David Connolly. “We can’t wait to welcome you into this vibrant collection of unforgettable stories... where hope inspires change, courage strengthens connection, and shared experiences celebrate the joy, resilience, and humanity that bind us together.”
Mainstage
The 2026 Season opens with the Broadway tap-dancing extravaganza 42nd Street. With music by Harry Warren, lyrics by Al Dubin, and book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, this glittering showbiz fairy tale delivers spectacular choreography, backstage drama, and iconic tunes like “Lullaby of Broadway,” “We’re in the Money,” and “Shuffle Off to Buffalo.” Don’t miss it, June 10 to June 27.
Next up, the 10-time Tony Award-winning comedy The Full Monty follows a group of out-of-work steelworkers turned unlikely strippers in a hilarious tale of friendship and self-discovery. Based on the hit film, the show features a book by Terrence McNally and music and lyrics by David Yazbek. Audiences will find out if these lovable misfits can really pull it off July 2 to July 25.
Finally, an epic Broadway blockbuster will transform the Playhouse this August. Disney’s Frozen: The Broadway Musical, Music and Lyrics by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, with Book by Jennifer Lee. It was originally directed on Broadway by Michael Grandage.
Families will recognize it, as it is based on the hit Disney film. It runs August 5 to August 30 but you may want to get your tickets soon!
