Indiana Repertory Theatre will deliver a mix of classics, adaptations, comedies and a recent Pulitzer Prize winner for its 2026-2027 season. The six-show season will kick off Sept. 23 with the famed book-turned-stage play “The Da Vinci Code,” and will culminate in May 2027 with the classic musical “Guys and Dolls.”
For two of the shows, the theater will collaborate with regional theaters from across the country, which will introduce new artists to Indianapolis and share the Circle City’s work with communities elsewhere.
