2026/2027 SEASON
We are pleased to announce our 2026/2027 Season, featuring unforgettable storytelling with a powerful American classic, an intimate new comedy, and two World Premieres—including a dazzling new musical!
August Wilson's THE PIANO LESSON
August Wilson’s epic The Piano Lesson pits brother against sister as the Charles family fights over the fate of their prized heirloom—a hand-carved piano. One wants to get rich off its sale, the other will do anything to keep it in the family. In this Pulitzer Prize-winner, the ghosts of the past battle against the promise of the future.
UPCOMING EVENTS
TINY ROOM CONCERTS w/ Joe Iconis
Get up close and personal with one of musical theater’s most celebrated songwriters. In an intimate 40-seat setting, Joe and three musicians will perform acoustic versions of beloved songs, deep cuts, brand-new material, and spontaneous stories from a career spent creating unforgettable theatrical experiences.
CODA Film Screening
Academy Award-winning film CODA comes to Two River Theater and the Count Basie Center for the Arts for a free screening and talkback. Following the screening, audience members are invited to stay for a conversation with star of the film and Elephant Shoes cast member Daniel Durant, who played Leo Rossi in the film.
Pride on the Plaza
Celebrate love, community, and self-expression at Two River Theater’s 8th Annual Pride on the Plaza, a joyful summer tradition that brings the community together for an evening of music, performance, food, and Pride.
GET INVOLVED
INCLUSION, DIVERSITY, EQUITY & ACCESSIBILITY
We believe that the essence of theater is democratic: it invites us to encounter, consider and perhaps adopt other points of view, if only for a brief time in a darkened theater. We aspire to build an environment in which artists, audiences, employees, and Board members from different backgrounds and experiences together form an institution that is equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
