2027 Season Reveal: THE WAY-BACK MACHINE

🎭 The Fredericksburg Theatre Ensemble is taking a trip through time, trouble, laughter, love, and a whole lot of questionable decisions with our 2027 Season! 🎭

Six shows. Six very different journeys. One big question:
How did we get here? 🤔

🌹 SUMMER AND SMOKE by Tennessee Williams — Desire, longing, and the choices that shape us.

⚖️ DOUBT: A PARABLE by John Patrick Shanley — When certainty disappears, what do we choose to believe?

💔 REASONS TO BE PRETTY by Neil LaBute — Love, beauty, honesty, and the complicated paths that get us from there to here.

👑 THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE by Matthew Lopez — Sometimes you have to lose yourself before you can discover who you really are. And sometimes you do it in six-inch heels. 💃✨

🌴 JIMMY BUFFETT’S ESCAPE TO MARGARITAVILLE, book by Greg Garcia & Mike O’Malley — When life takes an unexpected turn, sometimes the best thing to do is grab a margarita and see where the road leads. 🍹🌺

🐈 THE LIEUTENANT OF INISHMORE by Martin McDonagh — A darkly comic journey involving revenge, revolution, questionable choices, and one very important cat.

From classic drama to contemporary comedy, from deep questions to questionable life choices, FTE’s 2027 season is a journey through the moments, mistakes, mysteries, and mayhem that bring us to where we are.
