Our 25th Anniversary Season Continues into the New Year!
A vibrant mix of music, theater, nostalgia, and storytelling awaits audiences this season, with an exciting lineup of performances taking center stage. From beloved animated adventures and laugh-out-loud relationship comedy to iconic rock hits and heartfelt tributes, there’s something for everyone. Each show brings its own unique flair—inviting families, music lovers, and theatergoers alike to share in the joy of live performance.
January 23 through January 25, local youth will present a lively 60-minute stage adaptation of the Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo JR. The show follows clownfish Marlin as he journeys across the ocean to rescue his son, Nemo. Alongside characters such as Dory, Crush, and the Tank Gang, Marlin’s adventure blends humor, heart, and a reminder that courage often comes from unexpected places.
For a more mature night out, the Hartford Players present “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” from January 30 to February 1. This witty musical revue explores modern relationships through humorous vignettes about dating, marriage, and the truths we rarely admit. A bold, humorous benefit for the Schauer Arts Center, it’s not for children but perfect for anyone who’s faced love’s challenges.
Music fans will enjoy The Lovin’ Spoonful on Thursday, February 5. Today’s lineup includes founding member Steve Boone, along with Jeff Alan Ross, Bill Cinque, Mike Arturi, and Rob Bonfiglio, still celebrating their ‘60s sound. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, they remain a beloved American musical treasure.
On Friday, February 6, “Are You Ready For It? A Taylor Experience” brings a dazzling tribute to Taylor Swift, starring acclaimed performer Traci Marie. Complete with authentic costumes, dynamic choreography, multimedia spectacle, and all the energy of the record-breaking Eras Tour, this show promises an electrifying experience for Swifties and newcomers alike.
Audiences can also enjoy “Letters from Home” on Saturday, February 7—a patriotic, tap-dancing, harmony-filled tribute blending WWII-era charm with contemporary flair. After more than 1,000 performances worldwide, the duo continues to uplift and inspire with humor, heart, and timeless American spirit.
With a diverse lineup of productions, this season promises memorable moments for audiences of all ages and interests.
