2026 is The Season of Discovery. A journey into the unknown. A season guided by curiosity, courage, and wonder. It invites both artists and audiences to step beyond the familiar and listen for what lies beneath the surface of story and song. Within these plays are paths toward understanding, glimpses of truth, and moments of awakening. The kind that remind us who we are and what it means to be human. In the year ahead, Artists’ Collective Theatre embraces the act of discovery not as an end, but as a way of being; a continual unfolding of light, connection, and possibility.
