LOUISA MAY ALCOTT’S LITTLE WOMEN by Lauren Gunderson

City Theatre Main Stage
November 15 – December 7, 2025

From the playwright of The Revolutionists and the Christmas at Pemberley series comes the world premiere of a new adaptation of a beloved classis. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women explores the parallel lives of the authot’s family and the iconic March sisters – Jo, Beth, Meg, and Amy – in a heartwarming coming of age tale of empowerment, family, resilience – and the creation of an American literary masterpiece, with Alcott herself center stage.

MALCOLM X AND REDD FOXX WASHING DISHES AT JIMMY’S CHICKEN SHACK IN HARLEM by Jonathan Norton

City Theatre Main Stage
January 17 – February 8, 2026

Before they were icons, they were two young men washing dishes in Harlem. It’s 1943 and Foxy (soon to be Redd Foxx) befriends fellow dishwasher Little, better known, many years later, as Malcom X. In a summer of heartbreak, uprisings, and leftovers, the two shape each other into the legends they are known to be through a revolutionary mix of humor and heart.

EUREKA DAY by Jonathan Spector

City Theatre Main Stage
March 7 – March 29, 2026

Fresh from Broadway (though not from DC - Google it), this all too timely, bitingly funny comedy takes place during several board meetings at an ultra-progressive California school proud of its inclusivity and commitment to consensus – at least until a mumps outbreak reveals varying views (like, everyone’s) on vaccination. In one of the funniest plays to open [all] year (The New York Times) parents dance the line of advocating for their children while trying not to offend…anyone.

HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH by John Cameron Mitchell, Music & Lyrics by Stephen Trask

The Greer Cabaret
May 2 - June 7, 2026

First staged at City Theatre in 2003, Hedwig and the Angry Inch will electrify the Greer Cabaret downtown in our first-ever revival of a legendary show adored by audiences and hailed by critics. The Tony Award-winning, fierce and energetic musical follows the life, loves, and heartbreaks of the legendary Hedwig, an East German rock and roll goddess. Funny, inspiring, and brimming with energy, Hedwig is a love story to those who have too much fight in them to quit. In partnership with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
