We are thrilled to unveil Ann Arbor Civic Theatre’s 96th season—a vibrant mix of comedy, drama, and heart that explores transformation, identity, and the power of imagination. This season invites you to see the world—and yourself—in a new light, as we journey through stories that define who we are across time, worlds, and generations. From hilarious twists on classic tales to powerful portraits of American life, each production encourages reflection on what it means to belong and how we change along the way.

Join us for a year of storytelling that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. Here's what’s coming to our stage:
