The Trip to Bountiful – March 26-April 6, 2025
Horton Foote’s Tony Award-winning play tells the moving story of Carrie Watts, an elderly Southern woman who dreams of escaping the bustling city to return to rural Bountiful, Texas. She sets out on a risky journey to her beloved hometown with her family in hot pursuit. Along the way, she encounters kindness and compassion and discovers the true meaning of home. This classic American drama is a touching portrait of family, what we hold onto and what we leave behind.
Peter and the Starcatcher – June 11-22, 2025
The Tony-winning play, based on the best-selling novels, upends the century-old story of how an orphan boy becomes the legendary Peter Pan. "Peter and the Starcatcher" playfully explores the depths of greed and despair and the bonds of friendship, duty and love. Though not a musical, this play incorporates musical elements to create its magical storytelling. This production uses ingenious stagecraft and imaginative innovation to bring the story to life. While "Peter and the Starcatcher" is not considered a children's show, it is appropriate for children ages 8 years and older.
Waitress – Aug. 6-24, 2025
One of the most beloved Broadway musicals in recent seasons makes its way to Theatre Raleigh in a new production that will make you laugh and touch your heart. Featuring unforgettable music and lyrics by Grammy Award winner Sara Bareilles, the story centers on Jenna, a baker who dreams of escaping her job, small town and rocky marriage. Adapted from the 2007 film, it’s an uplifting and inspiring celebration of friendship, motherhood and the magic of a homemade pie. "Waitress, The Musical" promises to be a sweet slice of musical heaven!
To Be Announced Musical Premiere – Sept. 24-Oct. 5, 2025
Building on the triumph of the 2024 season's "Bull Durham, a New Musical," Theatre Raleigh is thrilled to announce another world premiere! We're dedicated to championing fresh voices and original stories. Stay tuned for more details.
Once on This Island – Nov. 12-23, 2025
This is a highly original and theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the popular fairy tale The Little Mermaid. Once on a Caribbean island, a little girl is rescued from a disastrous storm by four gods—Asaka, Mother of the Earth; Agwé, god of Water; Erzulie, goddess of Love; and Papa Ge, demon of Death. So starts the myth told in this breathtaking story of joy, sorrow and the triumph of love against all forces. Told with Caribbean rhythms and instruments, this Tony Award-winning musical is a testament that a beautiful story simply told has the power to inspire and heal all.
