Announcing ICTRep’s 2025-26 Season
Join us Next Year for Another Season of Memorable Theater
A Jukebox for the Algonquin
by Paul Stroili
August 2025
Developed by Jeff Daniels’ Purple Rose Theater (Michigan), this 2023 play is a moving comedy-drama about aging, long-time dreams, and surprising new adventures for a “Round Table” of septuagenarian friends at a retirement home. This character-driven play avoids all predictability with residents and staff from all walks of life, sharing life under one roof.
Amadeus
by Peter Shaffer
October 2025
Shaffer’s 1979 masterpiece is a fictionalized story of the boy-genius Mozart and his musical contemporary, the Court Composer Antonio Salieri. The drama has elements of a thriller, narrated by Salieri (the self-confessed “Patron Saint of Mediocrities”) whose life’s work is threatened by his jealousy of Mozart’s brilliance and the tortured, obsessive battle the older composer rages against a God who has bestowed the greatest gifts to someone else.
The Past a Present Yet to Come
A Christmas Carol Prequel by Matt Schatz
November 2025
A tremendously clever 2023 play which imagines A CHRISTMAS CAROL through a fresh lens – including the business of theater and publishing, as well as the circuitous way that a classic comes to be a classic. Matt Schatz’ play is about a fictional “Fred Scrooge” (nephew to Ebenezer) and how he unexpectedly becomes the catalyst for a guy named Charles Dickens and his long-suffering, incredibly smart theatrical producer, a Jewish woman named J.B. Roth to write a play about Christmas Past, Present and Yet-To-Come.
Silent Sky
by Lauren Gunderson
January 2026
This 2015 drama, poetically and imaginatively written, is the true story of 19th-century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. It explores a woman’s place in society as several different women negotiate a time of immense scientific and personal discoveries. With music and math bursting forth onstage, Henrietta and her female peers change the way we understand both the heavens and Earth.
Sweat
by Lynn Nottage
March 2026
In a rustbelt town in Pennsylvania, lifelong friends Cynthia and Tracey have been union workers on the factory floor for decades and spent after-work hours at their local bar for just as long. The majority of the scenes take place in the year 2000 as NAFTA has slowly eroded job security. Further divisions surface when the African American Cynthia is promoted to supervisor (over the head of her white friend Tracey) and given the painful job of asking all workers to take a 60% pay cut to save the plant. A lock-out follows, with scabs crossing the picket line, striking workers adrift, a work injury leads to an opioid addiction, and ultimately an unintentional act of violence during a chaotic scuffle leads to a terrible tragedy. Bookend scenes set in 2008 show that neither the women, their friends, nor their families will ever truly recover. Based on extensive interviews with residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, the 2015 play dramatizes the anger and despair in the post-industrial working class which helped fuel the 2016 election of Donald Trump.
