The Guthrie Theater has unveiled its 2025-2026 season.
The beloved coming-of-age drama “Little Women”, a Shakespeare tragedy and an acclaimed musical based on true events are among the shows that will take the stage at the Guthrie Theater in the upcoming 2025-2026 season.
The upcoming season will begin in September with a re-imagined take on the Henrik Ibsen classic, “A Doll’s House.”
The Pulitzer Prize-winning new play “Primary Trust” will begin performances in October, sharing with audiences a “hopeful story of courage” set in small town New York.
“A Christmas Carol”, the Guthrie’s longstanding holiday tradition, will begin performances November 8th.
“The Guthrie was founded on the belief that theater is essential to building connections with one another and the world, and our 2025–2026 Season of enduring classics and electrifying new work is a beautiful reflection of that mission,” Artistic Director Joseph Haj said in a statement.
Haj will direct the family drama “Somewhere”, which will begin performances in mid-December on the McGuire Proscenium Stage.
The dance-filled show examines the pursuit of dreams as it follows a Puerto Rican family in Manhattan in 1959, the year “West Side Story” toured the U.S. as the musical captured America.
Shakespeare’s haunting “Macbeth”, a thriller set in the English countryside, “Sleuth”, and Louisa May Alcott’s enduring “Little Women” are also planned.
The musical “Come From Away” will begin performances in June, telling the true story of 7,000 plane passengers diverted to small town Canada amid the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The season is set to conclude with the Noël Coward comedy “Private Lives.”
