A MESSAGE FROM THE PLAYHOUSE...

Welcome to the 2025 "Season of Laughter, Legends, and Thrills" at the Sharon Playhouse! Get ready for a season filled with unforgettable performances, heartwarming moments, and electrifying energy!

This year, we invite you to embrace the magic of live theater with productions that will make you laugh, sing, and maybe even shed a tear. From the legendary tunes of Million Dollar Quartet to the heartfelt journey of Annie, from the raucous fun of Sylvia to the suspense of The Mousetrap, there’s something for everyone in our exciting MainStage lineup. And that's just the beginning! Our YouthStage productions, featuring Sharon Playhouse Stars, Finding Nemo Jr., 101 Dalmatians Kids, the thrilling The Great Amusement Park Mystery, Kids Cabaret, and the debut of our pre-professional Launchpad Company presenting the delightful Once Upon a Mattress, are sure to inspire young performers and audiences alike.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to the power of theater to ignite the imagination, build community, and enrich lives. Each production is thoughtfully chosen to bring joy, provoke thought, and, most importantly, create lasting memories.

Your support means more to us now than ever before. As we continue to enrich our programming and bring theater to life, your contributions ensure that the Sharon Playhouse remains a place where creativity thrives, and where we can all come together to celebrate the joy of live performance.

To our amazing casts, designers, crew, and staff: your hard work and creativity bring our productions to life. And to our beloved patrons, volunteers, sponsors, donors, and tireless Board of Directors: your unwavering belief in the magic of theater is the foundation of everything we do. You make this vibrant community possible, and we are endlessly grateful for your continued support.

So, join us in celebrating the best that live theater has to offer. Together, let’s laugh, connect, and create something truly extraordinary.
