Intimate Apparel
March 7 – March 22, 2026
In 1905 New York City, Esther, a Black seamstress, is in great demand for the intimate apparel she creates for clients who range from wealthy white patrons to prostitutes. Though leading a life that provides joy to so many, she remains lonely and longing for a husband and a future. Through a mutual acquaintance, she begins a correspondence with a lonesome Caribbean man, George, who persuades her that they should marry, sight unseen. However, Esther’s heart is drawn to the Hasidic shopkeeper from whom she buys cloth, and his heart with her. Eventually, Esther must face the reality of the situation and embrace an unexpected future.
Jesus Christ Superstar
May 1 – May 17, 2026
What’s the buzz? Jesus Christ Superstar has wowed audiences for over 50 years. Written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, the rock opera is set against the backdrop of an extraordinary and universally known series of events but seen, unusually, through the eyes of Judas Iscariot. Loosely based on the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Superstar follows the last week of Jesus Christ’s life. The story, told entirely through song, explores the personal relationships and struggles between Jesus, Judas, Mary Magdalene, his disciples, his followers and the Roman Empire. A true global phenomenon, Jesus Christ Superstar continues to thrill audiences.
READING SERIES
Throughout the season, Gallery will present play readings and workshopped musicals with the return of its signature series, Overtures, and the introduction of a brand new series, Have You Heard?
HAVE YOU HEARD?
Gallery Players proudly presents a Reading Series of 3 unusual plays.
Have you heard is a reading series providing audiences the opportunity to see shows that would not likely be produced on the main stage but are exciting perspectives on our world by thoughtful playwrights. We hope to inspire conversation and maybe some useful disagreement through these staged readings.
Join us after for a post reading discussion.
Tiger Style! by Mike Lew
On stage May 11 and 12, 2026
Albert and Jennifer Chen are brilliant at academic achievement, but awash in adult life. Dumped by losers and passed over in favor of incompetent co-works, they hatch a radical plan to discover their true selves by going on an Asian Freedom Tour! From California to Shenzhen, Tiger Style! both examines and skewers the challenges of finding yourself in the modern America. If the new culture feels wrong, does that mean that the old culture is right?
OVERTURES
Overtures returns for its seventh year, bridging workshop readings of new musicals to Gallery’s stage. Come see the work of talented composers and writers as they refine their shows. At Overtures you can hear it here first!
On stage March 16 and 17, 2026

A sell-out, smash hit! Legally Blonde broke box office records!!
Legally Blonde
September 13 – 28, 2025
A fabulously fun award-winning musical based on the adored movie, Legally Blonde follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Elle Woods appears to have it all. But her life is turned upside down and she does the unexpected – applies to Harvard Law School. Filled with plot twists, memorable songs, and dynamic dances, this musical is as stylish as it is savvy, as buoyant as it is brilliant, and as appealing as it is affirming! It’s so much fun, it should be illegal!

Audiences called it “jaw-dropping” and “wildly creative”!
Hand to God
November 8 – 23, 2025
An outlandish and hilarious play, Hand to God is delightfully irreverent. After the death of his father, meek Jason finds an outlet for his anxiety at the Christian Puppet Ministry, in the devoutly religious, relatively quiet small town of Cypress, Texas. Jason’s complicated relationships are thrown into upheaval when Jason’s puppet, Tyrone, takes on a shocking and dangerously irreverent personality all its own. Hand to God explores the startlingly fragile nature of faith, morality, and the ties that bind us.
HAND TO GOD is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. (www.dramatists.com)
