TNT announces season
Trumbull New Theatre will stage four plays and a musical for its 2025-26 season.
It will open Sept. 5 with “Boeing Boeing,” a 1960s French farce about a ladies’ man with three fiancees, all of them flight attendants. When they all end up in Paris at the same time, mayhem ensues. Josh Crank will direct the Marc Camoletti comedy, which won the Tony Award for best revival of a play in 2008.
Lisa Bennett will direct the thriller “I’ll Be Back Before Midnight,” about a young wife recovering from a nervous disorder, who rents a remote cabin with her husband. Gruesome ghost stories from an odd farmer, the arrival of the husband’s strange sister and appearing and disappearing bodies threaten the wife’s already fragile psyche. It opens Nov. 7.
The first show of 2026 will be the comedy-romance “Emma,” an adaptation of the Jane Austen novel that will be directed by Allison Bye and opens Jan. 9.
Brett Bunker will direct the Norm Foster drama “Storm Warning” about the relationship between a damaged World War II veteran and an amphetamine-popping chart writer for a big band. It opens March 6, 2026.
The season concludes May 1, 2026, with the Gene Jurek-Doug Spartz musical “Deer Camp,” about four buddies whose annual deer hunting trip is threatened when their wives tell them their “hunting” days are over if they don’t come home with a deer this time. Terri Gilbert will direct.
Each show runs for three weekends. Season tickets good for admission to all five productions are $82.
A premium package for $86 allows season ticket holders to secure the same seats for the same night of the run for all five shows. Season ticket forms are available online at www.trumbullnewtheatre.com/season-tickets.
