The Garbologists
by Lindsay Joelle September 25-October 12, 2025 A heartfelt comedy about finding common ground in unexpected places. When a seasoned sanitation worker and an Ivy-educated newbie are thrown together on a New York City garbage truck, sparks—and trash—fly. What begins as a tense partnership evolves into a funny, deeply human story about unexpected bonds, the dignity of overlooked work, and the hidden value in what society too easily tosses aside. |

Winter Tales
conceived by Mark Nash December 10-14, 2025 Step out of the cold and into a night of warmth, wonder, and storytelling. Now in its 21st year, Winter Tales returns with a fresh twist on our cherished holiday tradition.

Murder on the Orient Express
by Agatha Christie, adapted by Ken Ludwig January 29-February 22, 2026 A luxury train. A shocking murder. Twelve suspects. One legendary detective. When the glamorous Orient Express is stalled by snow and a passenger is found murdered, the famous Hercule Poirot is called to solve the case. Agatha Christie’s classic whodunit gets a fresh, theatrical twist in this adaptation by acclaimed playwright Ken Ludwig. Known for his sharp wit and comic flair, Ludwig brings humor and high style to Christie’s tightly wound thriller—delivering an evening full of intrigue, elegance, and delightfully unexpected laughs. |
|
The Half-Life of Marie Curie
by Lauren Gunderson March 19-April 5, 2026 Two brilliant women. One seaside refuge. A friendship that changed everything. In the wake of a public scandal, renowned physicist Marie Curie retreats to a coastal cottage with her dear friend and fellow scientist Hertha Ayrton. Set in 1912, this luminous and empowering play explores the resilience of friendship, the brilliance of scientific minds, and the strength it takes to stand tall in a world determined to tear you down. |
|
Rhinoceros
by Eugène Ionesco April 30-May 17, 2026 In a town gripped by chaos, the herd is growing—and reason is on the run. When ordinary citizens begin turning into rhinoceroses, one man refuses to follow the crowd. Eugène Ionesco’s absurdist classic is a hilarious and piercing satire of conformity, resistance, the fragility of reason, and the nature of humanity in a world that feels increasingly surreal. |
|
The Bake Off
conceived by Cristina Alicea and Gina Stevensen June 17-21, 2026 Throw in a classic, stir in bold ideas, and watch the Bake Off rise. Our freshly baked “Bake Off” is a lively theatrical experiment where three playwrights each cook up a brand-new short play inspired by the same beloved classic. With three directors and three casts, no two takes are alike—offering a playful, thought-provoking exploration of how stories transform through different voices and visions. It’s fast, fun, and full of creative surprises. |

WHY SUBSCRIBE?
Subscriptions are the lifeblood of Vermont Stage. Think of them like a CSA for the arts: by subscribing, you’re investing in the creative process before the shows go on stage—helping us cover the upfront costs of production and pay our artists while we’re still in rehearsal. In return, you get a discount on regular ticket prices and the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting local theatre when it matters most.
WHAT SHOULD I PAY TO SUBSCRIBE?
That’s up to you. Our Pick Your Price model is designed to reflect the ups and downs of real life—we know your financial situation might change from year to year. If you're in a position to subscribe at a higher level, we hope you will. If not, no worries—we want you here. Choose the price that feels right for you, and come experience the full season with us.
WHY CHOOSE THE ENCORE SUBSCRIPTION?
Because producing theatre costs far more than we charge at the box office. If we priced tickets to reflect our true costs, they’d be around $84 per seat! By subscribing at the Encore level, you help bridge that gap—supporting our artists, our productions, and patrons who can’t afford full-price tickets. It’s a powerful way to champion both theatre and community.
