Bucks County Playhouse in downtown New Hope has announced its 2026 season, a five-show lineup running from February through January 2027.
The schedule features a mix of new work, American drama, Broadway classics and a holiday production.
Here’s what’s coming to the Playhouse in 2026:
The season opens Feb. 19 with the world premiere of “Starstruck,” a new musical comedy featuring music by Emily Saliers of the Indigo Girls. Set in a small Idaho town, the show follows an astronomer and a bar owner who clash over a neon sign as romance and small-town politics collide.
“Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” runs April 23 through May 23. Tennessee Williams’ Pulitzer Prize-winning drama centers on a wealthy Southern family forced to confront a strained marriage and long-buried secrets.
From June 18 to July 26, the theater will present “Rodgers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific,” the classic World War II romance set on a Pacific island and featuring songs including “Some Enchanted Evening.”
Jonathan Larson’s “Rent” runs Aug. 13 through Sept. 13. The rock musical follows a group of young artists navigating love, friendship and survival in 1990s New York City.
The season closes with “Holiday Inn: The New Irving Berlin Musical,” running Nov. 19 through Jan. 3, 2027. The holiday production centers on a farmhouse turned seasonal entertainment venue and features Irving Berlin standards including “White Christmas.”
Ticket prices vary by production, performance and seating location.
