Northern Light Theatre Launches 2024-25 Season

Last night Northern Light Theatre launched their new 2024-2025 Season. The new season, titled Making A Monster, will include three plays, including a world premiere, featuring characters possessing qualities of toxic narcissism- including self-centeredness, the need for admiration, a sense of entitlement; leading to quests for respect, self-esteem, and real estate.

"This season, NLT wants to examine the human capacity to be monstrous to other human beings", says Artistic Director Trevor Schmidt. "We want to ask ourselves and our audience what keeps us from behaving cruelly- and we want there to be discussion. Nobody is immune to terrible actions. We’re all prone to regressive processes. It’s very easy to enter the dark abyss where evil dwells. We all have the capacity to be monsters."

Subscriptions for all three shows are now on sale through Northern Light Theatre's website northernlighttheatre.com. Subscriptions start at $80 VIP pricing until June 1, and single tickets go on sale August 1, 2024. The plays for the next season are below.

An engaging young couple, Ollie and Jill, want to tell you about their dream home. Some of the things they did to get it, you might find shocking.
