| WORLD PREMIERE! Part of our 2026/2027 Season
What happens after Elizabeth Bennet marries Mr. Darcy?
Step into the World Premiere of this sparkling and wildly imaginative sequel to Jane Austen’s beloved classic. Married life at Pemberley is turned upside down when an unexpected houseguest arrives: Napoleon Bonaparte himself. As the fallen emperor awaits exile, his presence ignites intrigue, romance, and revolution among the Darcys and their colorful circle of friends and relations. Filled with wit, romance, and high-spirited comedy, Napoleon at Pemberley blends Austen’s elegant world with a dash of historical adventure, creating a lively ensemble comedy about marriage, ambition, and the thrill of changing one’s destiny.

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.
