Blood Wedding
by Federico García Lorca
Translated by Langston Hughes
Directed by Katie Brook
Audition Date: September 2026 (Dates TBD)
Performance Dates: December 10-13, 2026
Desire ignites. A wedding approaches. The past refuses to stay buried.
In a landscape shaped by heat, memory, and inevitability, a bride stands at the threshold of a life already chosen for her. However, longing has its own momentum, and it does not move quietly. As old rivalries resurface and passion collides with duty, celebration gives way to something darker, stranger, and impossible to contain.
Lorca’s searing tragedy unfolds like a poem set aflame: spare, sensual, and edged with fate. What begins with a promise hurtles toward reckoning.
Some vows are made in daylight; others are written in blood.
The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Music & Lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin

Additional Material by Jay Reiss
Originally Directed on Broadway by James Lapine

Audition Date: November 2026 (Dates TBD)
Performance Dates: March 5-14, 2027
In a middle school gymnasium where the stakes feel life-or-death, a group of wonderfully idiosyncratic young competitors vie for the championship title. Armed with oversized dictionaries, overactive imaginations, and deeply personal backstories, these students navigate the highs and lows of competitive spelling.
Hilarious, awkward, and unexpectedly tender, this beloved musical celebrates growing up, standing out, and finding connection in the most unlikely of places. Audience members may even find themselves under the fluorescent lights, facing a word they’re not entirely sure how to pronounce.
Join us for a night of syzygy and pandemonium!
Spring Dance Concert
Audition Date: January 2027 (Dates TBD)
Performance Dates: April 16-17, 2027
The Spring Dance Concert centers the capstone choreography projects of our graduating seniors, artists stepping fully into their creative voices. These works mark both an arrival and a departure: investigations shaped by years of course work, creative experimentation, and curiosity.
Each piece emerges from an individual vision brought to life by dedicated performers and with support from faculty mentors. For one weekend, we witness what it means for these seniors to take ownership of their creative voice, craft, and personal expression.
TDPS Spring Festival
Performance Dates: April 30-May 2, 2027
For one weekend in spring 2027, TDPS will open its doors to a festival of works in motion. A culminating showcase of work ranging from capstones, theses, and class projects– both in and out of Balch Arena Theater.
Join us for a concentrated burst of performance, process, and possibility.
