The Unexpected 3rd

September 17 — October 19 2025

Steinbright Stage

A Radical, Rollicking Rumination on the Optimism of Staying Alive. Deep into her third and final act of being a person, award-winning theatre artist Kathryn Grody explores a surreal, devastating, and existentially hilarious potpourri of self-discoveries at 75 years young. As mother, actor, wife, grandmother, friend, and accidental influencer, Grody navigates the bewildering transition into elderhood — equal parts empowering and unnerving. The Unexpected 3rd is a humorous and heartfelt solo piece exploring the joys  and challenges of becoming not quite old, but elder. A sold-out sensation at our 2024 Kiln New Works Festival, this world premiere is a must-see ahead of its Off-Broadway debut next year — a rollicking rumination on the stunning impermanence of it all.

Tommy and Me

October 07 — October 19 2025

Leonard C. Haas Stage

After a sold-out run in our 24/25 Season, Tommy and Me returns for a two-week engagement on the Haas Stage! Philadelphia Eagles' Hall of Famer Tommy McDonald (played by PL company artist Tom Teti) was the famously tough wide receiver who helped take the Birds to the 1960 NFL Championship game. Beloved Philly sports commentator Ray Didinger's autobiographical show recounts a seminal time in Ray's life when he helped his lifelong hero get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tommy was drafted by the Eagles in 1957 and played on the team until 1964. At Franklin Field, he helped the Eagles win against Vince Lombardi's Green Bay Packers. If you missed this smash hit in Malvern last time, make sure to get your Tommy and Me tickets early and experience this heartfelt tribute to football, friendship, and Philly.

With help from aspiring beautician Annelle, Truvy doles out gossip, wisecracks, and hairspray to "grande dame" Miss Clairee, the lovable curmudgeon Ouiser, queen bee M'Lynn, and M'Lynn's vivacious daughter Shelby. Six unforgettable women command the stage in this hilarious and heart-wrenching masterpiece, starring People’s Light icons Janis Dardaris, Claire Inie-Richards, Teri Lamm, Susan McKey, and Marcia Saunders, under the direction of Abigail Adams.

Twelfth Night

February 25 — March 29 2026

Leonard C. Haas Stage

A shipwreck, mistaken identities, and tangled desires set the stage for a brand-new spin on Shakespeare’s sharp and subversive comedy. Andrew Watring’s directorial debut at People’s Light sets our scene in a luxurious resort, a modern playground for the upper crust. After Viola washes ashore and disguises herself as her twin brother to navigate this strange new world, she quickly finds herself caught in a dizzying love triangle. As the resort’s eccentric inhabitants start to disrupt the order of things, the servants and the served collide in a riotous, romantic story of revelry and rebellion.

Leonard C. Haas Stage

Unearth the untold stories of the pioneering women in medicine who led the charge for women’s health and reproductive freedom 150 years ago, in a world premiere with local roots. This original play follows the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania class of 1894, a diverse group of students whose experiences draw urgent connections to contemporary struggles against misogyny in healthcare and law. Blending rigorous research with imaginative play, acclaimed theatre-maker Suli Holum (Hurricane Diane) returns to People’s Light to craft and perform in The Woman Question alongside company artist Melanye Finister (A Raisin in the Sun).

Ain't Misbehavin'

The Tony and Grammy Award-winning, jazz-infused score includes Waller’s famous hits like “Honeysuckle Rose” and “I Can’t Give You Anything But Love”. This playful and exuberant tribute to the iconic tunes of the era captures the essence of Manhattan’s nightlife, from the swanky Cotton Club to the lively dives of Lenox Avenue. Directed by Broadway’s Steve H. Broadnax III (A Raisin in the Sun, Bonez), Ain’t Misbehavin’ brings the pulse of an unforgettable musical era to life.
