Capital Repertory Theatre began their announcements with the re-introduction of Miriam Wiesfeld, who will be taking the reigns as producing artistic director once Maggie Mancinelli-Cahill steps down in September.

In the upcoming season, theREP continues its tradition of bold and thought-provoking theatre. To kick off the 2025-26 season presented by Overit is “Becky Nurse of Salem” by Sarah Ruhl Sept. 26-Oct. 19, 2025. Becky Nurse is a tour guide whose ancestor was tried for witchcraft on the very spot where she works. After losing her job, she turns to magic, pills, and a bartender for redemption while facing her own trial alongside her granddaughter’s high school “Crucible” production.

The next show is a perfect way to celebrate the holidays, with “Murder for Two: Holiday Edition” on the MainStage at theREP Nov. 28- Dec. 28, 2025; book and lyrics by Kellen Blair. This madcap musical mystery delivers nonstop laughs as one actor plays detective Marcus Moscowicz and the other tackles all 10 suspects. A hit at theREP in 2015, “Murder for Two” returns with composer and original star Joe Kinosian for a must-see holiday event.

The third show, “Archduke” by Rajiv Joseph, is running March 6-29, 2026. Three starving teens with nothing to lose fall under the sway of a fanatical captain, stumbling their way into an assassination that sparks World War I. This pitch-dark farce turns history on its head, blending absurd comedy with chilling relevance.

The fourth show continues theREP’s mission to support playwrights as part of the Next Act New Play Summit. Playwright Kareem Fahmy’s plays “American Fast” and “A Distinct Society” were featured in theREP’s past Next Act Summits. theREP is honored to continue to support Kareem’s work following the world premiere of “Dodi & Diana” at Colt Coeur in New York City. Running April 24–May 17, 2026, “Dodi & Diana” follows Jason, a white Wall Street banker, and Samira, an aspiring Egyptian actress, as their relationship is tested by her breakout role as a TV terrorist. Desperate for answers, Jason consults an astrologer, sending them to the Hôtel Ritz Paris on the anniversary of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed’s death, where passion and power intertwine in a fateful encounter.

The last show on the MainStage at theREP this season will run July 10- Aug. 9, 2026, based on the beloved 1988 film. “Mystic Pizza” serves up friendship, romance, and a heaping slice of ‘80s nostalgia. In the seaside town of Mystic, three best friends navigate love and life while slinging pizza to a soundtrack of hits by Melissa Etheridge, Cyndi Lauper, Van Morrison, and more.
