Intimate. Powerful. Authentic. Inclusive. Excellent. 1st Stage Theatre.

From an unexpected elegy of hidden truths from a Nobel Prize-winning playwright, to a look at the stakes of women’s basketball in the Dust Bowl, to a U.S. premiere from the writer of One Man, Two Guvnors – join us for 1st Stage’s upcoming 2026-2027 season.

FULL 2026-2027 SEASON:

The Logan Festival of Solo Performance
August 20-30, 2026
This innovative festival, acclaimed in The Washington Post with “three plays prove the power of one,” will gather celebrated solo performers from across the country for two weeks of performances, workshops, discussions, and events. Stay tuned for the announcement of the shows and full schedule!

Betrayal
Written by Harold Pinter
Directed by Alex Levy
October 8-25, 2026

Emma, Robert and Jerry have history. As her marriage to Robert comes to an end, Emma reconnects with Jerry, her former lover—and her husband’s best friend—as the action unspools backward in time in an inventive retelling by the Nobel Prize-winning playwright. At once utterly domestic and dangerous, uncovering hidden truths and revealing how little we know about those we think we know so much about, it’s an “elegy about time and memory (where) the greatest dramatic weight lies in what’s unspoken”- The New York Times (more…)

“…breathtaking…a journey that is both completely unexpected and emotionally nurturing. I cannot recommend this play enough.” -MD Theatre Guide

1st Stage is thrilled to announce Paula Vogel’s Indecent, directed by 1st Stage Artistic Director Alex Levy, has been extended through June 28 after a sold-out opening weekend and a Helen Hayes Recommendation.

From Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Paula Vogel, a deeply moving play inspired by the true events surrounding the controversial 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s “God of Vengeance”—a play seen by some as a seminal work of Jewish culture, and by others as an act of traitorous libel. Indecent charts the history of an incendiary drama and the path of the artists who risked their careers and lives to perform it.
