2025 Tony nominee for Best Play  
In a one-stoplight town in Georgia, in a high school AP English class, five young women begin questioning the stories and the heroes they’ve been taught to believe in, against a soundtrack of pop music and fury. As their class dissects a canonical work of literature, the parallels between the play and their own lives become uncomfortably real, and they begin to re-examine who we deem heroic, who we call a villain, and who gets burned in the process.

John Proctor is the Villain

Toni Rembe Theater

his team still sucks—but now they sing! Based on the beloved 1976 Paramount Pictures film written by Bill Lancaster, this new musical follows a washed-up baseball player who takes a job coaching a ragtag team of Little League misfits, including his ex-stepdaughter. Through practice, persistence, and some good luck, they just may find victory in surprising places. Remember: they're not losers. They're athletically-challenged adolescents with developing coordination readiness. 

The Bad News Bears: A Musical

hen a group of millennial classmates meet to pregame for their twentieth high school reunion, everyone is nervous for the night ahead. As alcohol and weed help the self-declared “Multi-Ethnic Reject Group” let their guards down, they begin to reminisce and reveal how their lives have unfolded since graduation. Did their friendships stand the test of time? Why do they remember certain moments from their past differently? From Pulitzer Prize–winning and two-time Tony Award–winning playwright Branden Jacob-Jenkins (Gloria) comes a new profound tragicomedy about the reunion that awaits us all. 

The Comeuppance

his hilariously chaotic new play follows five generations of Assyrian women attempting to reclaim their story as it’s being narrated by some British guy (said British guy being played with sharp-elbowed satire by playwright Atra Asdou). Marching through time and space, this journey from the Ottoman Empire to modern-day USA portrays a gritty reality that’s playfully witty, filled with history, family, and dysfunction—it’s the zaniest history of the Middle East you ever did see!
