The Independence Community College Theatre Department has announced its 2026–27 season, bringing four distinctive productions to the stage throughout the academic year.
The season will feature Little Women by Kate Hamill, Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, Alice by Heart by Steven Sater, Jessie Nelson and Duncan Sheik, and the annual Inge Festival Production.
From a beloved literary classic to imaginative contemporary works, this year's lineup will give ICC students the opportunity to explore a wide range of characters, stories and theatrical styles while offering audiences four unique experiences throughout the year.
"This year, ICC Theatre is exploring the power of storytelling to bring people together. Whether audiences encounter these stories for the first time or revisit a classic, we are thrilled to invite everyone to experience them as part of the ICC community,” ICC Theatre Director Cooper Sivara said. “The shows offer our students opportunities to grow and develop their crafts onstage and backstage, and their hard work will undoubtedly pay off in uniquely creative choices. Please join us for all of the shows this season!"
