Garden Theatre announces 2024-25 season

Starting this summer, residents will be able to experience Garden Theatre's newest theme for the 2024-25 season: "In a New Light."

The theater's Broadway on Plant series will exhibit shows including "Little Shop of Horrors," "Pippin," "Scrooge!" "The Play That Goes Wrong" and "The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity."

In addition to the five full-length theatrical presentations, the season will be dotted with weekend events, including concerts, comedy, dance, movies and holiday offerings.

Garden Theatre representatives announced the venue's new season in a press release Friday, Feb. 16.

"In a New Light means to have a new or different understanding or perspective of something, someone, or, as in the case of our 2024-25 season, ourselves," Garden Theatre Producing Creative Director Rob Winn Anderson said. "The productions in this season reveal the casualties of our choices and the power that community has in our lives to bring us to a more positive place as we continue to learn and to grow. Light not only illuminates our view, it informs — and even transforms — depending upon whether it is bounced back as in ‘reflection,’ or bent and changed as it passes through a new medium or lens.”

As part of the mission to grow the Garden Theatre moving forward, officials also have announced the creation of three new categories of entertainment: "Garden Parties - Concerts & Good Times," which will feature a wide variety of great music from great bands and artists; "The Garden Goes to the Movies," showing film favorites on the big screen harking back to the venue’s history as a cinema house as far back as 1935; and, for the late night crowd, "Garden After Dark" will feature events such as comedy, solo cabarets and interactive movies.

Performances currently scheduled under the new Garden Parties - Concerts & Good Times brand include "Willie & Family Live – Michael Moore’s tribute to Willie Nelson," "Shake Baby Shake," "Legacy: Motown & More" and "Sail On: The Beach Boys Tribute."

The new season will run from July 2024 through June 2025.
