The 2023/2024 Season includes:
Murder on the Orient Express
By Agatha Christie
Clarence Brown Theatre
September 6 - 24, 2023
The story you are about to witness is one of romance and tragedy, primal murder, and the urge for revenge!
Wax your mustache and hop on board the Orient Express for a ride you won't soon forget!
A snowdrift has halted the train in its tracks...with a killer onboard. Over the next 48 hours, Hercule Poirot must find the villain before he or she strikes again. Back by popular demand!
The Moors
By Jen Silverman
The Lab Theatre
October 18 - November 5, 2023
Wait. What?
An anthropomorphic Mastiff. A catfished governess. Two forlorn sisters on bleak English Moors yearning for love in a manor where every room looks the same.
This is a new play the likes of which you have not seen before. It's a dark, funny, genre-bending trip the New York Times calls, "the reason we go to the theater." Try it!
A Christmas Carol
By Charles Dickens
Adapted by Edward Morgan and Joseph Hanreddy
Music by John Tanner
Clarence Brown Theatre
November 22 - December 21, 2023
Knoxville's longest-running holiday tradition!
For more than three decades, Knoxvillians have returned year-after-year to experience this timeless story of hope and redemption. This season, make A Christmas Carol part of your holiday tradition. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll create a wonderful memory... and you will leave the theater with a warm heart and renewed spirit!
The Giver
By Lois Lowry
Adapted by Eric Coble
Clarence Brown Theatre
February 14 - March 3, 2024
From one of the most popular young adult novels of our time.
Jonas' world is perfect. It's safe. Controlled. Without war or pain. Without color. Where every person is assigned a role in the community. At age 12, he's chosen to be keeper of the community's memories from The Giver, the only person with memories of real pain and joy. As Jonas begins to experience these memories, he is faced with a decision: conform to society's expectations or control his own destiny.
Anon(ymous)
By Naomi Iizuka
The Lab Theatre
March 21 - 30, 2024
How do you create a home when your homeland no longer exists?
Separated from his mother while fleeing their war-torn country, a young refugee called Anon journeys throughout the United States. On his quest to find home and family, he dodges those who would entrap him, finds unexpected friendship, and experiences supernatural help from a goddess. A modern retelling of Homer's The Odyssey.
Kinky Boots
Book by Harvey Fierstein
Music and Lyrics by Cyndi Lauper
Clarence Brown Theatre
April 17 - May 5, 2024
A Tony-winning Broadway sensation packed with fun and a kick of pure joy!
Looking to save the family shoe business, Charlie turns to his new friend Lola -- a cabaret performer and drag queen-- who gives him an outrageous idea that could change both of their destinies. Soon, this unlikely duo creates the most sensational footwear that's ever rocked the runways of Milan... giving the factory and its hard-working family a sparkling new future.
