Chautauqua Theater Company :: 2026 Season

In 2026, CTC will present three New Play Workshops (NPW) and two mainstage productions: Sharyn Rothstein’s Best for Baby (a CTC Commission and World Premiere) and August Wilson’s How I Learned What I Learned directed by Producing Artistic Director Jade King Carroll.    

The season will also mark the grand opening of the Roe Green Theater Center, a state-of-the-art home for theater at Chautauqua, and the introduction of CTC’s new playwrighting fellowship in an expanded partnership with the Drama League. These emerging writers will develop and present new plays in collaboration with the Future Now directing fellows, featuring the work of CTC’s acting conservatory and design fellows.
