For 65 years, The Sound of Music has been one of our “favorite things.” With its timeless story and irresistibly charming score, this Rodgers & Hammerstein classic isn’t just meant to be enjoyed - it’s meant to be shared. Now, a critically acclaimed North American tour brings the cherished musical to stages across the country to teach a new generation to sing. Directed by three-time Tony Award® winner Jack O’Brien (Hairspray), this vibrant and romantic tale of Maria and the von Trapp family will captivate audiences with its universal themes of love, resilience and the power of music. Featuring beloved songs like “Do-Re-Mi,” “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” and “Edelweiss,” The Sound of Music is the iconic tale of a spirited nun who chooses not to live behind closed doors - and, by following her heart, learns to climb every mountain. The Sound of Music features music by Richard Rodgers, lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II, and book by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse, suggested by The Trapp Family Singers by Maria Augusta Trapp. The 1965 Oscar®-winning film recently celebrated its 60th anniversary and continues to be one of the most successful movie musicals of all time.
"A masterpiece is a masterpiece and this one sings."

Disguises. Surprises. Compromises.
Be prepared to laugh out loud.
In a brilliant examination of class dynamics, power, and human folly, this opera revels in the wit and warmth of Mozart’s luminous music and underscores the strengths and vulnerabilities of each character. At its heart, the clever servant Figaro fights to marry his true love while outsmarting his amorous and scheming master, who has his own designs on Figaro’s bride-to-be, Susanna. Not only a musical masterpiece—it’s a rallying cry for love, dignity, and the pursuit of justice that called for the end of aristocratic privilege.

COME FROM AWAY is as inspiring and thrilling a musical as Broadway has ever seen! Based on the true story of how the isolated community of Gander, Newfoundland, came together to welcome 38 planes diverted from their destinations on September 11, 2001. What starts as an average day, turns into an international sleepover, as the people of Gander cheer the stranded travelers with music, an open bar and the recognition that we're all part of a global family. Critics called it "a celebration of the best of humankind" (The Daily Beast) and a "big bearhug of a musical"(New York Times). This production of COME FROM AWAY is a REGIONAL PREMIERE!
“It takes all of ten seconds to be in its generous embrace. Irresistible and inspiring. It’s a musical that gets everything right.”

Fires, Ohio
By Beth Hyland
A timely family drama inspired by the classic, Uncle Vanya.
February 25 - March 22
As wildfires rage closer and closer to a small Ohio college town, the mopey grown children and second wife of a sort-of-mediocre professor are threatened by another kind of crisis: a visit from a family friend that threatens to bring all of their tensions to a towering inferno. Now, each of them will be forced to choose: stay and smolder, or leave and burn? Inspired by the classic family drama Uncle Vanya, FIRES, OHIO updates a beloved story for our painfully absurd present, taking a hilarious and heartfelt look at the natural (and personal) disasters that transform our everyday lives. In addition to winning the 22nd annual Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition, FIRES, OHIO has been awarded the Kennedy Center's Paula Vogel Award and the Mark Twain Prize for Comic Playwriting.

Join us in March 2026 as we celebrate American legend Bessie Coleman in our spring production, Queen Bess by Amina S. McIntyre, with scenes translated into French by Montierra Yates.
March 11-29, 2026 at 7 Stages in Little Five Points.
Bessie Coleman lived in the early 1900s as a mixed-race Black and Native American woman. Due to Jim Crow restrictions and gender discrimination in the U.S., she earned her pilot’s license (the first ever earned by a Black woman or a Native American, and the first international license earned by any American) by teaching herself French and then traveling to France to study. More than 100 years later, her resourcefulness and accomplishments tell a story that continues to challenge and inspire.

Rejoignez-nous en mars 2026 pour célébrer la légende américaine Bessie Coleman dans notre production printanière, « Queen Bess » d'Amina S. McIntyre, avec des scènes traduites en français par Montierra Yates.
Du 11 au 29 mars 2026 au 7 Stages de Little Five Points.
Bessie Coleman a vécu au début du XXe siècle. Métisse, d'origine afro-américaine et amérindienne, elle a dû faire face aux restrictions de la ségrégation raciale et à la discrimination sexiste aux États-Unis. Elle a obtenu son brevet de pilote (le premier jamais obtenu par une femme noire ou amérindienne, et le premier brevet international obtenu par un Américain) en apprenant le français par elle-même, puis en se rendant en France pour étudier. Plus d'un siècle plus tard, son ingéniosité et ses accomplissements constituent une source d'inspiration et de motivation.

Catching the Moon
The Story of a Young Girl's Baseball Dream
By Nichole Jackson
Music & Lyrics by Tyrone L. Robinson
Adapted from the book by Crystal Hubbard
Directed by Charity P. Jordan
Musical Direction by Javar La'trail Parker
Choreography by Angela Harris
February 20 - March 15, 2026
She didn’t just play the game—she changed it.
With the crack of a bat, Marcenia Lyle rounds the bases with ease and slides into home. Catching the Moon, a blues-infused musical, tells the spirited story of a young Black girl who grew up to become “Toni Stone,” the first woman to play for an all-male professional baseball team.
As a kid in the 1930s, Marcenia could outrun, outplay, and outshine anyone on the field—but she had to fight for every inning she got. When opportunity knocks in the form of a summer baseball camp run by the legendary Gabby Street, she faces a new challenge: proving she belongs in the game, no matter what the rules say.
Bursting with rhythm, drive, and heart, Catching the Moon celebrates the power of determination, the thrill of the game, and the courage it takes to change it forever.

“Julio Torres is the embodiment of our theme this year, The Spark of Imagination,” said Beth Schiavo, Executive Director of the Center for Puppetry Arts. “His work reminds us that the smallest, strangest, or most overlooked idea can become something extraordinary. That belief is at the very heart of puppetry and of everything we do at the Center.”
Torres is an award-winning Brooklyn-based writer, director, and comedian from El Salvador. His work on “Saturday Night Live” earned four Emmy® nominations and received wide acclaim. His first solo hour, “My Favorite Shapes” by Julio Torres, received rave reviews and was released as an HBO comedy special in 2019. Torres co-created and starred in HBO’s Peabody Award–winning series “Los Espookys” alongside Fred Armisen and Ana Fabrega, and created, wrote, directed, and starred in HBO’s “Fantasmas”. Most recently, his one-man show “Color Theories” was filmed during its sold-out Off-Broadway run and will soon be released as an HBO comedy special. Torres made his feature directorial debut with A24’s “Problemista”, which he wrote and starred alongside Tilda Swinton. His first book, “I Want to Be a Vase”, was published by Simon & Schuster in 2023.
Torres’ work consistently elevates objects, characters, and ideas that might otherwise be dismissed— infusing them with wonder, personality, and meaning. That sensibility has made Torres an especially beloved figure among fans. His recurring robot assistant, “Bibo,” introduced in HBO’s “Fantasmas” and later reappearing in his one-man show “Color Theories”, is equal parts companion and comic foil, serving as a perfect reminder of how Torres uses humor and craft to transform unconventional ideas into something emotionally resonant.

Acting Under the Influence is going off to the races! Based on Charles Dickens’ final unfinished novel, this hilarious whodunit invites the audience to solve its mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer. The tale is presented as a show-within-a-show, as the Music Hall Royale - a delightfully loony and tipsy Victorian theatre company - presents Dickens’ brooding mystery.

ShakesBEER: The Importance of Being Earnest
Get ready for a hilariously absurd evening of mistaken identities, witty banter, and drunken escapades in ShakesBEER’s version of The Importance of Being Earnest!
Oscar Wilde’s brilliantly sharp comedy of manners gets a boozy twist as our actors navigate the tangled web of love, deception, and the pursuit of a well-timed marriage proposal—while a little tipsy. From Gwendolen’s obsession with the name “Ernest” to the hilariously complicated revelations about who’s really who, expect the wit and wordplay of Wilde’s masterpiece with a few extra slurred lines and misplaced intentions.
As the charming yet untrustworthy bachelors, the unflappable Lady Bracknell, and the love-struck ladies clash and collide in a riot of social faux pas, the alcohol will flow freely, making this comedy of errors even more riotous. Will the characters ever get their stories straight? Who needs earnestness when you’ve got a pint?
Join us for a night of witty repartee, drunken misunderstandings, and a sparkling good time as we explore Wilde’s comedy in the most entertaining way possible: tipsy, theatrical, and oh-so-much fun!
Cheers to a night of love, laughs, and liquid courage!

Murder, Mystery, & Mayhem
Gimme Hamilton, Or Gimme Me Death
February 20 - May 16
(Fri / Sat / Sun)
Featuring the all-star production, cast, and crew formerly of Agatha’s: A Taste of Mystery, Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem at Petite Violette is an interactive murder mystery dinner unlike any other. The event showcases unique, original, hilarious murder mysteries with live actors and audience participation, paired with a four-course dinner of fine French food. Shows run on Friday nights at 7:30 p.m., Saturday nights at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees at 3:30 p.m. (check-in starts half an hour earlier). The cost per person is $75 plus tax and gratuity. Seating is family-style, so guests get a chance to sit with the star of the show. Reservations required, via our website.
Here ye! Here ye! Murder, Mystery, and Mayhem starts 2026 with a trip back to Colonial America! A time of Washington, Adams, Hamilton. Of powdered wigs, horse drawn carriages, and contemporary music (sure – why not). It’s also a time... of... murder!
The year is 1774. American colonists are at odds with King George III and the British Parliament over excessive taxation and reduced liberties. Delegates from the colonies meet to discuss the foundation for self-governance and a complete break from England. Actually, that sounds SUPER boring! The real story gripping the colonies is the mysterious death of rising songsmith Jeremiah “Lil’ Musket” Big-Britches. Lil’ Musket sings hippity-hoppity songs, and usually ones where he unapologetically boasts of his own success and lavish colonial lifestyle – really, Lil’ Musket? You need 3 horse drawn carriages? Really?
Such good fortune has made many other colonial hippity-hoppity artists jealous. But is their resentment so strong they would reach for their musket, then pour gunpowder from the powder horn into a powder measure, then empty that into the barrel of the musket, then place a pillow ticking patch over the barrel hole, then balance the musket ball on the pillow ticking patch, then grab the ramrod and push the ball down the barrel of the musket until it’s good and seated? And then, place a dry piece of flint in the jaw of the musket’s mechanism and fasten it securely.... you know what? It’s already too much work. Who will lead the colonies to victory? Why is someone killing hippity hoppity icons? What is for dessert? Just come to ye olde Petite Violette for a feast of fun, and find out!
Dinner and a Diva: 2026 Season
Every third Tuesday of the month, we host Dinner and a Diva. Each event features live entertainment consisting of selections from a famous opera performed by the Capitol City Opera Company’s singers.
