Season 25-26 Announcement

The New Depot Players are thrilled to unveil our 2025–2026 season—a lineup filled with toe-tapping tunes, spine-tingling suspense, holiday cheer, and laugh-out-loud comedy. We can't wait to share this season of Music, Mystery & Merriment with you!

This season brings a vibrant mix of classics and crowd-pleasers that promise to entertain, delight, and keep you guessing. Here’s a sneak peek at what’s in store:

🎭 Into the Woods -- Step into a fairytale like no other in Stephen Sondheim’s beloved musical that twists and turns your favorite childhood stories into one enchanting and sometimes haunting adventure. With unforgettable music and a rich, layered story, Into the Woods will open the season with magic and heart.

🔍 The Mousetrap -- Agatha Christie’s legendary whodunit is next on the docket. A snowstorm traps a group of strangers in a guesthouse, and one of them is a murderer. Can you solve the mystery before the detective does? The Mousetrap is a deliciously suspenseful ride full of red herrings and shocking twists.

🎄 Christmas 1943 -- A musical revue written by Valerie Manson with musical arrangements by Scott F Rousseau, Christmas 1943 follows the experiences of four new recruits and their girlfriends/wives during the early years of World War II. The play is filled with popular music of the time, including "It Had to Be You", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"and, of course, everyone’s Christmas favorites, "White Christmas" and "I’ll be Home for Christmas".

🕵️ The Game’s Afoot -- Equal parts murder mystery and madcap comedy, this play by Ken Ludwig follows a Broadway star known for playing Sherlock Holmes. When a real murder disrupts his holiday party, he takes up the case (with hilarious results). The Game’s Afoot is mystery theatre at its most fun.

🎬 The 39 Steps -- What do you get when you mix Alfred Hitchcock’s thriller with Monty Python-style comedy? The 39 Steps! This fast-paced spoof features over 150 characters played by just a handful of actors in a wildly inventive theatrical tour de force.
