Man of La Mancha

(Premieres Fall 2025) Inspired by Miguel de Cervantes’ 17th-century masterwork Don Quixote and set during the Spanish Inquisition, the original 1965 production won five Tony Awards, including Best Musical. Miguel de Cervantes is in prison awaiting trial during the Spanish Inquisition. He and his fellow prisoners perform a play-within-a-play, telling the story of Alonso Quijano, who renames himself “Don Quixote” and goes on a quest to right wrongs. The rousing, Spanish-inflected score includes the classic numbers “The Impossible Dream,” “I, Don Quixote,” “Dulcinea,” “I Really Like Him” and “Little Bird.”

Every Brilliant Thing

(Winter 2025) You’re six. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you make a list of everything brilliant about the world. You leave it on her pillow. Soon, the list takes on a life of its own. The Guardian (UK) described it as “heart-wrenching…hilarious…One of the funniest plays you’ll ever see about depression—and possibly one of the funniest plays you’ll ever see, full stop.” Join us for a powerful, interactive, one-person show about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.

(Spring 2026) Stone Soup is delighted to welcome back Lily Vance, director of last season’s hit production of The Importance of Being Earnest!

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a timeless musing on love, magic, and the sheer joy of theatrical absurdity. One of Shakespeare’s most well known and beloved plays, this whimsical production is sure to delight audiences of all ages.
