Broadway classics, and shows inspired by them, will populate Actors Theatre of Indiana’s 2026-2027 season. The Carmel-based company will kick off its season in September with a tribute to women of the 1970s, and its subsequent shows include nods to film noir and a famous otherworldly plant before concluding with “A Little Night Music” next May.
The season will take place at the Studio Theater at the Allied Solutions Center for the Performing Arts in Carmel, where Actors Theatre of Indiana is a resident company.
