The 2015-2016 Season features:

• August Wilson's moving drama Seven Guitars, September 1- September 20, 2015. Set in 1948, this lyrical chapter in August Wilson's renowned Century Cycle follows Floyd Barton, a recently-jailed blues musician striving to make a comeback. As Floyd's friends and neighbors gather in a Pittsburgh backyard, Wilson spins a rich tale from the play's seven voices.

• Rebecca Gilman's smart and absorbing drama, Luna Gale directed by Les Waters, October 6 - 25, 2015. When teenage addicts are accused of neglecting their newborn daughter, a veteran social worker, Caroline, must rely on her instincts to grapple with an increasingly complex case. A powerful, haunting drama about the difficulty of knowing how to do good in the world.

• Gilbert and Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore, November 17-December 13, 2015. Chicago theatre renegades The Hypocrites playfully reimagine the popular classic as a slumber party full of pajama-clad sailors. Replete with guitars, ukuleles, and reversed gender roles, this comic tale of love on the high seas comes to life as you've never seen it before.

• Amy Herzog's highly lauded comedic drama, 4000 MILES January 5-January 31, 2016. When free-spirited, 20-something Leo crashes at his grandmother's apartment after an epic cross-country bike trip, the two bond over their attempts to navigate the complexities of life, love, and loss. A funny, intimate look at the unexpected connections we can make on the road to self-acceptance.

• Multi-award winning hit show Peter and the Starcatcher directed by Associate Artistic Director Meredith McDonough, January 26-February 17, 2016. In this swashbuckling grown-up prequel to Peter Pan, a dozen brilliant actors playing pirates, mermaids-and of course, our favorite Lost Boys-set out for an adventure filled with ingenious stagecraft and the limitless possibilities of theatrical storytelling.

• Two of Louisville's favorite family traditions: Fifth Third Bank's Dracula, September 9-November 1, 2015, and A Christmas Carol, November 24-December 23, 2015.

• The 40th Humana Festival of New American Plays, March 2-April 10, 2016. Premiering up to ten groundbreaking, brand new works by some of the American theatre's most talented writers. Full lineup to be announced in November, 2015.
