Bag&Baggage is going BACK, baby…back to basics, that is!
There’s a reason audiences fell in love with B&B and honestly, it’s not that complicated: smart takes on great stories, super talented performers, and a warm welcome to every person who walks through our doors. It’s simple really, and B&B never needed to be anything other than that!
The 2026/2027 season embodies all of the things people love most about B&B: three great shows, including a beloved American classic; the return of our hugely popular Halloween show; and a cheeky, hilarious holiday story. Plus this season we are bringing back our Season Subscriptions, giving you more BAG for your buck! (See what we did there?)
26/27 is all about doing what we do best. Join us as we go back to basics, in true B&B style.
Barefoot in the park
by Neil Simon
September 3-20, 2026
Directed by Jane Unger
Marriage can be wonderful…but, as as newlyweds Corie and Paul Bratter are about to discover, it can also be disastrously hilarious.
Neil Simon's classic comedy has been delighting audiences for more than 60 years; 1,500+ Broadway performances, countless productions worldwide, and an unmatched legacy in the American theatre.
Set in a fifth-floor walk-up in New York City (with no elevator, very important), it's a play about love, compromise, and what happens when two people realize they just might be perfect for each other in every way except the ones that matter.
Fast, funny, and genuinely joyful. And a first for B&B! Barefoot in the Park is our debut production of Neil Simon. (We've been saving him for the right moment…This is it!)

The Woman In Black
by Stephen Mallatratt
(based on the novel by Susan Hill)
October 15-November 1, 2026
Directed by Ephriam Harnsberger
Our audiences have been asking us to bring back the Halloween show for years….
Be careful what you wish for.
Stephen Mallatratt's The Woman in Black has been terrifying audiences since its London debut in 1987 and is one of the most successful and terrifying shows in West End history. Based on Susan Hill's beloved novel, it's one of the most celebrated ghost stories ever staged: atmospheric, relentless, and the kind of theatrical experience that makes you question every shadow on your way to the car.
Set in a remote English village, it follows a young lawyer unraveling the secrets of a recently deceased client and the vengeful presence that doesn't want him to. Just two actors portray all the characters, leaning into what B&B’s performers do best.
Chilling, clever, and unforgettable. Halloween is back at Bag&Baggage…and we brought something with us.

Every Christmas Story Ever Told (And Then Some!)
by Michael Carleton, James Fitzgerald & John K. Alvarez
December 3-20, 2026
Directed by Mandy Khoshnevisan
Three actors. 90 minutes. Every Christmas story ever written.
What could possibly go wrong?
Michael Carleton, James FitzGerald, and John K. Alvarez's gloriously unhinged Christmas comedy is exactly what it sounds like; A Christmas Carol. Rudolph. It's a Wonderful Life. The Grinch. All of it, and more, crammed into a single evening by three increasingly desperate performers who absolutely, without question have bitten off more than they can chew.
Rapid-fire parody, breakneck costume changes, and a festive frenzy that is Bag&Baggage doing the holidays the only way we know how: hilariously.
Whether you love the holidays, love laughing at them, or both, this one's for you. (It’s both, really. It's for sure both.)
