Next spring, the Studio Theatre will produce The Enda Walsh Repertory, which will feature both The Walworth Farce (April 6 -24), starring Ted van Griethuysen, and The New Electric Ballroom (April 13 – May 1). Matt Torney will direct both productions.

The theater’s 2ndStage season will include Young Jean Lee’s Songs of the Dragons Flying to Heaven (October 6 – November 2); Jez Butterworth’s Mojo (December 1-26), directed by Chris Gllu; and the musical Pop! (July 13 – August 7), which focuses on life among the denizens of Andy Warhol’s infamous Factory.
