| Part of our 2026/2027 Season
A zany musical comedy murder mystery with a twist: two actors play thirteen roles – and the piano!
When a famous novelist is found dead at his own surprise birthday party, it’s up to a small-town police officer to solve the case. With suspects ranging from eccentric party guests to feuding relatives, Murder for Two delivers a fast-paced blend of music, comedy, and clever theatricality.

OUR 2026/27 SEASON
World Premieres. Old Favorites. And More.
The Playhouse’s 2026–2027 theatre season is an exciting lineup filled with a vibrant balance of comedy, drama, and plenty of heart. From plays revisiting classic characters from literature to contemporary stories about friendship, identity and transformation, the season continues the Playhouse’s tradition of honoring the past while keeping an eye on the future.
The upcoming season features two world premieres, including a sparkling new play by acclaimed playwright Ken Ludwig, directed by theatre legend Emily Mann, and a new American comedy requested by popular demand following its appearance in the Playhouse’s Script in Hand series, starring two-time Tony Award winner Judith Ivey. Rounding out the Mainstage season is a high-energy, crowd-pleasing comedy that celebrates identity, transformation, and imagination.
