Casa Valentina by Harvey Fierstein
May 11 – May 28th opens our season with the latest provocative Broadway play written by the Tony Award-winning icon of Hairspray, Kinky Boots, and Torch Song Trilogy. With a premise inspired by the true story of a mid-century sanctuary in the Catskills where men dressed as women, Casa Valentina reveals the crossroads of gender identity, sexual orientation, and the significance of community via a group of strangers whose lives are forever changed on a visit to the “Casa Valentina” lodge in the summer of 1962. Casa Valentina performs Thursdays – Sundays.

The Fantasticks: Reimagined by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt
July 10 – August 31st will offer the East Coast premiere of a newly re-imagined adaptation of the landmark musical The Fantasticks by its original librettist and lyricist, Tom Jones. While Jones retains his and composer Harvey Schmidt’s timelessly romantic score (“Soon It’s Gonna Rain,” “They Were You,” “Try to Remember…”), he has revised his original script of The Fantasticks to find the young lovers Matt and Luisa have become — Matt and Lewis! Moreover, they aren’t being pushed into each other’s arms by their prankster, gardening fathers, but rather by their prankster, gardening mothers! With equally fresh twists on all the characters (in an adaptation that previewed in 2022 at Flint Repertory Theatre in Michigan), this summer’s production of The Fantasticks in Provincetown is a musical theater event not to be missed. The Fantasticks performs Mondays – Thursdays.

What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck
Nov 16 – Dec 3 opening the week before Thanksgiving will be Heidi Schreck’s Pulitzer Prize finalist, What the Constitution Means to Me, in its Cape Cod premiere. Drawn from the playwright’s own life-long passion for the majesty and mystery of the U.S. Constitution, Schreck’s story shows how its author, while still in high school, used her intellectual curiosity of our country’s mightiest living document to win college scholarships at competitive Constitutional debates. In the process, Schreck unpacks an unexpected personal-is-political journey that is empowering, haunting, funny, and full of hope. What the Constitution Means to Me performs Thursdays – Sundays.
