Twenty-five years of fearless, fabulous theatre: That’s definitely something worth celebrating! Uptown Players has announced its 2026–2027 Silver Anniversary Season, and the lineup feels like a love letter to everything the company has become: bold, funny, heartfelt and unapologetically LGBTQ+.
Since 2001, they’ve been giving North Texas audiences stories that entertain, challenge and inspire. This milestone season is pulling out all the stops:
Designing Women: The Play
December 4-13, 2026 | Kalita Humphreys Theater
The Sugarbaker girls are getting a stage adaptation, and it’s a Texas premiere. Sharp wit, big opinions, Southern friendship. If you’ve never seen a gay audience lose its mind over Julia Sugarbaker, this is your moment.
Broadway Our Way: No Passport Required
March 18-21, 2027 | Kalita Humphreys Theater
Uptown’s annual fundraiser returns with a global twist. Broadway classics, reimagined through an international lens. It’s always a party and always sells out. You’ve been warned.
Come From Away
April 30-May 9, 2027 | Kalita Humphreys Theater
The true story of 7,000 stranded passengers and the small Canadian town that took them in after 9/11. It will wreck you in the best possible way. Bring tissues. Bring a friend.
Jagged Little Pill
July 16-25, 2027 | Kalita Humphreys Theater
Another Texas premiere. Alanis Morissette’s album turned Tony Award-winning musical, tackling addiction, identity and family. This one hits hard and doesn’t apologize for it.
Silver Foxes 2: Pride and Prejudice (World Premiere)
August 19-29, 2027 | Theatre Three
The Palm Springs gang is back in an all-new world premiere comedy. The original was a fan favorite, and this sequel looks like more of the same: mischief, romance and laughs.
Anniversary seasons can sometimes feel like victory laps, but this one feels more like a statement. Uptown Players continues to champion stories that center LGBTQ+ lives while also producing shows with universal themes of love, resilience, family and belonging.
Season subscriptions are on sale now, making this the perfect time to claim your seats before individual performances start filling up. Whether you’re a longtime subscriber or you’ve been saying, “We really should go see an Uptown Players show,” consider this your sign.
Twenty-five years down, and if this season is any indication, the best is still taking center stage.
