| Part of our 2026/2027 Season
An overwhelming hit with readings in our Barnstormers and Script In Hand series, The Goldsmith returns to our stage as a fully realized production.
Inspired by her own family’s journey, Broadway actress Sharone Sayegh weaves a remarkable story through the golden jewelry passed down across generations. Each treasured piece reveals another chapter – from Iraq to Israel and ultimately to America – as she explores identity, belonging, and the complexities of heritage and home.
Moving, surprising, and deeply personal, The Goldsmith invites audiences to reflect on the stories and legacies we carry with us throughout our lives.

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.
