What Shows Are in OpenStage Theatre & Company's Current and Upcoming Seasons?
Updated
OpenStage Theatre & Company's homepage highlights Dracula (October 31 – November 28, 2026) as its featured production, and points to Season 54 (2026–2027) as the upcoming slate, described as featuring Gothic horror, feminist satire, historical comedy, and a Shakespearean classic. The site also lists earlier productions including Reefer Madness the Musical and The 39 Steps. For exact dates, times, and casting, the individual show pages are the authoritative source.

How to check what's playing now
- Open the show page for the production you're considering — the homepage directs visitors to click "Get Tickets" on any show page to purchase.
- Confirm the dates on that page rather than relying on the homepage summary; the Dracula window (Oct 31 – Nov 28, 2026) is the only run stated in the homepage text.
- If you want the full season rather than a single show, start from the Season 54 / season packages section, which the site links as "View Packages."
Expected result: you'll land on a page with the specific performance schedule and a purchase path. If a show page shows no dates, it likely hasn't opened for sale yet — check back or contact the box office through the site.
Reading the season description correctly
The Season 54 blurb names genres, not titles: Gothic horror, feminist satire, historical comedy, and a Shakespearean classic. Dracula fits the Gothic horror slot, but the site does not, in the homepage text, map the other three genres to specific plays. Treat any title-to-genre pairing beyond Dracula as unconfirmed until you see it on a show page.
Practical notes before you buy
- Pricing: the site references purchasing and a "Pay What You Can" option but does not state ticket prices on the homepage. Check the individual show page or the Pay What You Can page for current terms and eligibility.
- Season vs. single tickets: season packages and individual tickets are both offered; a package makes sense if you plan to attend several productions, while single tickets suit one-off visits.
- Accessibility and inclusion: OpenStage states a commitment to expanding access and belonging for audiences and artists across Colorado, and invites community feedback. If you have a specific access need, raise it with the box office before booking rather than assuming accommodations.
Background on the company
OpenStage Theatre & Company describes itself as captivating hearts and minds with live theatre since 1973, which places it among the longer-running companies in its region. Beyond productions, the site links to a blog ("Theatre Insights") on artists and the industry, a get-involved/support page, and merchandise for purchase.
For the definitive answer on "what's on," use the show pages: they carry the dates and the buy-tickets path, while the homepage gives you the season shape and the headline production.
