Barbara Low ________________________________ From: Acme Theater <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2025 1:49 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Acme Theater Announces its 2025/2026 Season [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/5f2e17fceb0096cfcb074abef/images/801bd10e-6f6c-499a-bb13-6fc94c3617ac.jpg] Greetings from Acme Theater! Acme Theater Announces Its 2025/2026 Season: Big Laughs, Big Heart, and a Whole Lot of Fun This season we’re serving up tender romance, moral quandaries, wild misunderstandings, and a nursing home in full-blown meltdown. It’s like Shakespeare met Scooby-Doo, had dinner with Tennessee Williams, and invited you to watch the whole thing unfold. It’s weird. It’s wonderful. It’s Acme. Here’s what’s coming to the Acme stage: Maytag Virgin by Audrey Cefaly October 24-November 8, 2025 Directed by Kristin Hughes Maytag Virgin is a tender, character-driven play by Audrey Cefaly that follows the evolving relationship between two neighbors in a small Southern town. Lizzy, a recently widowed schoolteacher, and Jack, a quiet newcomer also dealing with loss, slowly form a connection as they navigate grief, healing, and the possibility of new love. Filled with humor, warmth, and emotional depth, the play explores how two people can find hope and companionship in the wake of personal tragedy. Lobby Hero by Kenneth Lonergan January 23-February 7, 2026 Directed by Dave Sheppard Lobby Hero is a sharp, character-driven play by Kenneth Lonergan that explores themes of morality, loyalty, and truth. Set in the lobby of a New York City apartment building, the story follows Jeff, a young, aimless security guard who becomes entangled in a complex situation involving his strict supervisor, a rookie cop, and her overbearing partner. As personal and professional boundaries blur, each character is forced to confront difficult choices about honesty, integrity, and doing the right thing in a world where answers aren’t always clear. Unnecessary Farce by Paul Slade Smith April 3-April 18, 2026 Directed by Kevin Nessman Unnecessary Farce is a fast-paced, laugh-out-loud comedy by Paul Slade Smith that combines classic farce elements with a modern twist. The plot follows two inexperienced cops who set up a sting operation in a cheap motel to catch a corrupt mayor—but things spiral hilariously out of control. With mistaken identities, slammed doors, a hitman in a kilt, and escalating misunderstandings, the play delivers non-stop physical comedy and witty dialogue, making it a favorite for audiences seeking pure entertainment. Losing Patients by A. Duke and Virginia Cate June 5-June 20, 2026 Directed by Kelsey McDonough Losing Patients is a madcap comedic farce by A. Duke and Virginia Cate set in the Silver Crest Manor—a once respected nursing home besieged by all manner of chaos. A violent thunderstorm rages outside, while inside a drug dealer is on the loose, an escaped mental patient is hunted by the police, and a trio of scheming scoundrels spin a web of identity theft and deception. As patients mysteriously vanish and impostors emerge, the confusion—and hilarity—escalates through mistaken identities, double-dealing, and surprise twists. Hold onto your walkers: Losing Patients blends outrageous physical comedy with unexpected plot turns right up to its surprise finish.
