CIRCLE FORWARD World Premiere and More Set for Gulfshore Playhouse 25-26 Season

Gulfshore Playhouse has revealed the complete 2025-2026 season. Performances begin October 21, 2025. As the only fully professional LORT (League of Resident Theatres) theatre company in Naples, Gulfshore Playhouse will welcome casts and creative teams from Broadway and beyond to grace both the Broadway-sized Moran Mainstage and flexible, black box Struthers Studio. 
 
"It brings me so much joy to know that we are already halfway through our first season at the Baker Theatre and Education Center and have already served so many in our community with Broadway-level professional theatre and extraordinary educational opportunities for all ages,” says Coury. “And here we are, in the blink of an eye, already announcing our second season. This season is intended to continue widening our offerings, including a Christmas musical and a world premiere of a new work. We run the gamut in terms of genre, time period, and style, and I know each and every show will be a huge crowd-pleaser.”
 
The building hosts two venues: the Moran Mainstage and the Struthers Studio, an entire wing dedicated to educational programs, two rehearsal halls, and a beautifully appointed grand lobby. The educational offerings continue to expand, serving students of all stages of life. With two theatres operating at the same time, we are able to serve twice as many customers in different ways at the same time.  Additionally, our dedicated education wing allows us to offer a wider variety of offerings for students ranging from age 2 to 102.
 

Gulfshore Playhouse Season

In the Moran Mainstage, there are four productions lined up. Launching the season in November is the beloved Broadway spectacular Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. Associate Artistic Director Dann Dunn will direct this holiday favorite alongside Sara Brians (Anything Goes) who will choreograph. Full of dazzling musical theatre spectacle, this is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. In the winter, we’ll ring in the new year with the genre-defining whodunit Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, directed by Laura Kepley. Continuing the season, we’ll produce the classic comedy The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde directed by Producing Artistic Director Kristen Coury. Wrapping up our season is Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, directed by Matt Lenz and choreographed by Associate Artistic Director Dann Dunn. Chock full of songs you know, the musical tells the little-known story of King’s rise to fame. 
 
In the Struthers Studio, Gulfshore Playhouse will design three different stage configurations for three thought-provoking productions. First up, the powerful play Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, directed by Producing Artistic Director Kristen Coury. This well-known play about the disillusionment in marriage will be performed in a proscenium configuration. Next, fresh from the 2023 New Works Festival is the uplifting world premiere of Deb Hiett’s Circle Forward, directed by Jeffrey Binder (The Lehman Trilogy), and performed in the thrust. Last, we’ll produce the touching play about his parents’ courtship, Ken Ludwig’s Dear Jack, Dear Louise directed by Risa Brainin (Every Brilliant Thing) and performed in the round.
