The Getaway Driver

Sept. 3–Oct. 4, 2026

By Deborah Salem Smith and Charlie Thurston

Directed by Curt Columbus

A Rolling World Premiere with Central Square Theater and Northern Stage
Inspired by the remarkable true story of Katherine Ann Power and Clare Schroeder, "The Getaway Driver" is a gripping new drama that follows two women bound by a life-altering moment. In 1970, a young activist drove the getaway car for a robbery she hoped would change the world. Instead, it ended in tragedy and she disappeared, beginning the longest run of any woman on the FBI's Most Wanted List. More than 20 years later, she's ready to tell the truth. But as she seeks redemption, another voice emerges — the daughter of the person who was killed that day. Unfolding like a true crime thriller, this world premiere traces the long shadow of a single decision.

A Christmas Carol

Nov. 5–Dec. 31, 2026

By Charles Dickens

Original Music by Richard Cumming

Directed by Taavon Gamble

Celebrating 50 Years of Holiday Cheer
As the clock strikes midnight on a fateful Christmas Eve, Ebenezer Scrooge gets an unexpected visit from the ghost of his former partner, Jacob Marley. In a world shaped by music, memory and possibility, Scrooge is swept into a supernatural journey through past, present and future. Along the way, he must confront what he has built, what he has lost, and what he still has: the power to change for the good of his community, and his very soul. This year's 50th anniversary production of "A Christmas Carol," directed by company member Taavon Gamble, celebrates the beloved legacy of Trinity Rep's annual tradition of reimagining the story anew each year.

Cyrano

Jan. 27–March 18, 2027

By Jason O'Connell and Brenda Withers

Adapted from "Cyrano de Bergerac" by Edmond Rostand

Directed by Meredith McDonough

Running in rotating repertory with "Mother Russia"

Our New Artistic Director's Trinity Rep Directorial Debut
Filled to the brim with pathos and panache, this adaptation of Rostand’s iconic romance is the Trinity Rep directorial debut of new Artistic Director Meredith McDonough. A hopeless romantic wielding a wit nearly as sharp as his blade, the only thing preventing Cyrano de Bergerac from being a leading man is his debilitating insecurity. Insecure about his appearance, Cyrano quietly pines for the brilliant, beautiful, and kind Roxanne. Enter Christian, a handsome soldier, who enlists Cyrano to ghostwrite love letters to Roxanne, leading to consequences funny, tragic, and unexpected. By turns mischievous and tender, "Cyrano" is a delightful celebration of love in all of its forms.

Mother Russia

Feb. 11–March 21, 2027

By Lauren Yee

Directed by Tatyana-Marie Carlo

Running in rotating repertory with "Cyrano"

An Off-Kilter New England Premiere
It’s 1992 in the country formerly known as the Soviet Union, and the Cold War’s gone lukewarm. Gorbachev is out, Yeltsin is in, and the newborn Russian Federation is getting to know the free market and the Filet-o-Fish. Two old friends — once aspiring KGB agents, now struggling to adapt to the new regime — find work spying on an ex-pop star and absolutely nothing goes according to plan. Fast, sharp, and darkly funny, "Mother Russia" is a new comedy about what happens when the world flips upside down that asks how ordinary people can recalibrate when the rules change overnight.

August Wilson's "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"

April 8–May 9, 2027

By August Wilson

A Must-See American Classic
Blues legend Ma Rainey and her band are getting ready to record new takes of old tracks in a worn-down Chicago studio. When the young, ambitious trumpet player Levee pushes for a different direction, competing visions quickly emerge. As he fights to make a name for himself, Ma Rainey asserts control over her music, while producers press for profit at every turn. Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson delivers a blistering exploration of power, racism, and autonomy in this iconic play that’s as melodic as it is profound.

Nothing Up My Sleeve ... Simple Deceptions for Curious Humans

May 21–June 20, 2027

By Dendy and Aaron Posner

Magic by Dendy

Directed by Aaron Posner

A Magical New England Premiere
Master illusionist Dendy, whose magic captivated audiences in last year’s sold-out "A Christmas Carol," returns to Trinity Rep with a spellbinding new theatrical experience. Part dazzling magic act, part deeply personal journey, "Nothing Up My Sleeve … Simple Deceptions for Curious Humans" pulls back the curtain on the history of magic while exploring Dendy’s own path to becoming a magician. Featuring captivating storytelling, jaw-dropping tricks, and mind-bending surprises, this exhilarating show will leave audiences of all ages believing in magic again.
