Each year we produce 4-6 shows in our mainstage season. This year we are proud to present some of the best new plays around! Our season includes some highly-acclaimed and award winning plays, a world premiere, and a wonderful comedy direct from the highly esteemed Humana Festival of New American Plays .

In addition to our mainstage season, we also produce the Seymour J and Ethel S Frank Festival of New Plays in Staged Readings each year. This festival gives us an opportunity to enjoy new works, playwrights a chance to see their work performed and our audience a chance to participate with us in developing new plays. We are especially proud of our programs for youth. The Dorfman Foundation Youth Theatre/JETYES has been specifically designed for student audiences. Through their generous support we are able to tour all across Southeast Michigan, bringing the excitement of live theatre into the schools.

We also have committed to producing The Diary of Anne Frank each spring. This show is written for a student audience, and speaks to issues of humanity and community. It also serves a learning tool about the past, and a bridge to the future, both in understanding, and in appreciation for theatre. For this production, we bring schools and youth groups to a collaborating theatre. The students, teachers and administrators have responded very enthusiastically.

Each year more than 15,000 patrons have been touched by the magic of our theatre and more than 50,000 young people are turned on to the performing arts through our touring programs! We invite you to peruse our web site, and see what our theatre is all about!
