2026-2027 Season Overview

Trinity Theatre’s 2026–2027 mainstage season invites us into worlds where stories echo and transform. Each play reimagines something familiar—a work of classic literature, a theatrical tradition, a morality tale, a myth—and asks what happens when we step inside a narrative that's already in motion. The semesterly Open Mic Night showcases the talents of students from across campus, and our Student Lab Series offers performances completely produced by students throughout the school year. Trinity Theatre showcases its commitment to a holistic approach to theatre-making through works that challenge our students and entertain our audiences.

"CONCORD FLORAL"

October 2–4 & 7–10 | Attic Theater
Directed by guest director Susanna Morrow

Concord Floral is a one-million-square-foot abandoned greenhouse and a refuge for neighborhood kids; a place all to themselves in which to dream, dare, and come of age. But hidden there is a secret no one wants to confront, and when two friends stumble upon it they set off an unstoppable chain of events, from shadows in parking lots to phone calls from the grave. It’s time for the teens of Concord Floral to start talking.

"MOSQUITO BITES: A CARMILLA STORY"

October 23–25 | Attic Theater
Directed by Arwen Loxsom as part of the Student Lab Series

As the pastor’s daughter, Laura knows what’s expected of her. But after her best friend dies, she retreats into grief. Then Carmilla arrives, a charming girl who seems to understand her when no one else does, but never quite lets Laura in. As they grow closer, Laura questions what she believes, what she desires, and who she’s becoming. But how do you love someone when you can never be sure who they are?

Directed by Nathan Stith

The Cornley University Drama Society has been hard at work on their newest production for weeks. Opening night of The Murder at Haversham Manor has finally arrived! Unfortunately, things quickly go from slightly bad to total disaster. Part farce, part murder mystery, part play-within-a-play, and total hilarity, The Play That Goes Wrong answers the age-old question: What would happen if everything went horribly, horribly wrong?

When Jane falls ill, her husband John decides to take his young family away for the summer in hopes of restoring her health.

In this rendition of Gilman's classic story, we get glimpses of Jane’s childhood and marriage and learn the consequences of caging a mind against its will.
