Unveiling Marin Theatre's 2025-2026 Season
The Marin Theatre has much to celebrate as it opens its doors to a new season filled with thought-provoking performances. Artistic Director Lance Gardner shared that this upcoming year is not just about entertainment—it’s about confronting and reflecting on the crucial issues of our times. The plays scheduled for the 2025-2026 season delve into themes of truth, denial, and the complex narratives that shape our society.
First Up: 'Eureka Day'
Kicking off the season is the Tony Award-nominated hit “Eureka Day,” written by Oakland playwright Jonathan Spector. Set to run from August 28 to September 21, 2025, this comedic yet insightful production questions our ability to create consensus amidst conflicting beliefs about truth. It’s a perfect opener for a season that seeks to challenge audiences and inspire discussions about our shared realities.
Exploring America’s Legacy with 'Sally & Tom'
Next in line is Suzan-Lori Parks’ “Sally & Tom,” showcasing from October 30 to November 23, 2025. This Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright invites the audience on a journey through American history, confronting tonal shifts and cultural context that continue to shape our identity. It’s a play that promises to resonate on multiple levels, engaging viewers with strands of our past while challenging the narratives we follow into the future.
A Classic Tale: 'The Cherry Orchard'
The season invigorates the classic repertoire with Anton Chekhov’s “The Cherry Orchard,” scheduled from January 29 to February 22, 2026. This timeless story of a family disintegrating in the face of change speaks volumes about personal and societal forces at work in our lives. Chekhov’s insights into human nature remain relevant, offering a rich backdrop for audiences eager to engage in discussions about heritage and loss.
Photography Comes to Life in 'Pictures from Home'
Concluding the season is “Pictures from Home,” adapted from Larry Sultan’s photo memoir by playwright Sharr White, which runs from May 7 to May 31, 2026. Sultan’s intimate reflections on family dynamics through photography translate into a beautiful theatrical experience, merging visual art with storytelling. The theatrical adaptation encourages viewers to question how we document our lives and the significance of those memories.
Why This Season Matters
The Marin Theatre’s 2025-2026 lineup promises to both entertain and provoke thought among its guests. As Gardner emphasizes, these productions do not shy away from the harsh truths and essential reflections we need today. Audiences are encouraged not just to watch but to engage with the performances, using them as a lens through which to analyze their own lives and the wider world around them. The collective experience of theater serves as a mirror, reflecting cultural perspectives and personal growth, uniting audiences in the quest for understanding.
