We’re proud to unveil our 2025–2026 Season: an unforgettable lineup that celebrates the power of storytelling in all its forms. From thought-provoking dramas to laugh-out-loud comedies, from original musicals to legendary rock operas, this season offers something for every theater lover! Join us at the historic Civil War Drill Hall Theater as we bring these unforgettable stories to life on our stage.
Our Season begins with RED SPEEDO, by Lucas Hnath, directed by Chris Hietikko. Would you risk everything to get everything? At what cost? Red Speedo deals with the ethical dilemmas of right and wrong. It’s fast paced, wickedly funny and will have your head ‘swimming’. (September 12-28, 2025)
Then it’s time for WHERE THE TIME GOES, co-written and directed by Michael Bias and Musical Director Victoria Casella, an original musical journey through love, memory, and those moments when you wonder if your watch is broken... or if you just blinked and lost a decade. (Relatable, right?) So excited - after 3 staged readings we have our first full production of WHERE THE TIME GOES at Players Guild of Leonia! It features songs by such greats as Laura Nyro, Crosby Stills and Nash, Brian Wilson, Carole King just to name a few! (November 14-23, 2025)
Feeling a little spirited? Noel Coward's BLITHE SPIRIT, directed by Glenn Woertz will have you laughing in the afterlife with mischievous ghosts, bumbling séances, and one very stressed-out husband. (January 23-February 8, 2026)
THE PSYCHIC, by Sam Bobrick and directed by Terri Caust, is a hilarious mystery full of twists, turns, and more “Wait, WHAT?” moments than your favorite true crime podcast.
(March 13-29, 2026)
Then, get ready to rock your sandals off with JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway sensation, directed by Ellyn Essig — because nothing says “epic” like a rock opera about the greatest story ever told! (May 8-24, 2026)
Finally, we end our season with MARSHALL PLAYWRIGHTS SHOWCASE, an audience favorite weekend showcase of One-Act plays named in honor of our beloved and long-time PGL member, Helene Marshall, who left an indelible mark on our hearts. (June 2026)
