What Shows Are in Unicorn Theatre's 2026–2027 Season?

Updated

Unicorn Theatre's Season 53 runs from October 2026 into February 2027 and lists four productions on its homepage: Red Like Fruit (October 14–25, 2026), Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear (November 11–29, 2026), Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties (December 9–27, 2026), and Job (February 3–14, 2027). The site advertises season tickets as on sale now. If you're planning around a specific title, check the production's own page before committing — the homepage gives dates but not full performance schedules.

Season 53 at a Glance

Production Dates Notes from the site
Red Like Fruit October 14–25, 2026 Season opener
Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Elusive Ear November 11–29, 2026 —
Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties December 9–27, 2026 Holiday-season slot
Job February 3–14, 2027 Closes the listed season

Each title on the homepage links to a "Learn More" page and a "Tickets" option, so you can move from the season overview to a specific show without hunting through the menu.

How to Decide What to See

The four shows differ mainly by time of year and tone as presented on the site:

  • Earliest option: Red Like Fruit in mid-October, if you want to catch the season's opening production.
  • Holiday window: Anti-Hero: Revenge of the Swifties runs December 9–27, making it the natural pick for a December outing.
  • New year: Job in early February 2027 is the last listed production, useful if you're planning further ahead.

The site's review quotes lean toward original, conversation-starting work — one review calls a production "a world premiere of a show I couldn't expect to see anywhere else," and an audience comment describes a show as "intense and thought provoking." That's a reasonable signal if you're choosing between Unicorn and a more conventional theater lineup, but it doesn't tell you which of the four titles fits your taste; the individual show pages are the place to check.

Practical Details Before You Book

  • Season tickets: The homepage states season tickets are on sale now, which is the option to look at if you expect to attend more than one production.
  • Single tickets: Each show has its own "Tickets" link from the homepage.
  • Location and contact: 3828 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64111; phone 816-531-PLAY (7529).
  • Policies: The site links to a Refund & Exchange Policy and Terms of Use in its footer — worth reading before purchase, since the homepage doesn't state terms.
  • Prices and showtimes: Not listed on the homepage. Confirm on the individual production or visit pages rather than assuming.

Where to Verify

Start at the homepage's "2026 | 2027 Season" section for the season overview, then use "Now Playing" for what's currently on stage and the "Visit" page for planning logistics. Because dates on a season announcement can shift, treat the production pages as the authoritative source once tickets are in your cart.
