The Whisenhunt at Zach Theater
From Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens and Terrence McNally, the Tony Award–winning team behind Ragtime, comes a warm, witty and deeply moving musical about community, art and the courage to be who you are. Dublin, 1964. Alfie Byrne is a gentle bus conductor who recites poetry to his passengers and leads an amateur theatre troupe in a church hall. When he sets out to stage Oscar Wilde’s Salome, the church objects, and Alfie must face the love he has kept hidden all his life.
Tickets will go on sale March, 2027.
A TASTE OF HONEY
By Shelagh Delaney
Fall 2027
Salford, England, 1958. Teenage Jo and her sharp-tongued mother, Helen, move into yet another shabby flat. When Helen runs off with a new boyfriend, Jo finds love with a Black sailor, then friendship with Geof, a gentle young art student. Together they build an unlikely family of their own. Written when Delaney was just 18, this funny, fierce and tender play broke new ground for working-class voices on the British stage and still feels startlingly fresh.
