50th Anniversary Season

Celebrate 50 years of theatre with a season of celebration at Park Square!

This milestone year is filled with unforgettable performances, special events, and extra sparkle as we honor our incredible journey. From a spooky family favorite to a thrilling world premiere mystery and a beloved classic, our 50th Anniversary Season has something for everyone.

  • Dear Friends,

    I hope you’ll join us next year for Park Square’s 50th Anniversary Season of Celebration, a true milestone and an exciting new chapter in our story.

    We’re thrilled to bring you four new productions. In honor of our golden anniversary, three of these plays explore the magic and mayhem of life in the theatre - onstage, backstage, and everywhere in between. The fourth kicks off an ambitious new endeavor: a five-play cycle of mysteries commissioned exclusively for Park Square, written by the incomparable Jeffrey Hatcher over the next five years.

    This season is rooted in our rich legacy and looks boldly toward the future, and I would be honored to have you with us on this journey. If you’ve never subscribed before, there’s never been a better time to join the Park Square family. And if you’re already a subscriber, thank you. We can’t wait to welcome you back.

    I invite you to join us as we celebrate 50 years, and look ahead to the next 50.

    Onward,

    Stephen DiMenna

    Executive Artistic Director
