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.
