Possum Point Players announce 2026 season production titles

With the 2025 season well in progress at Possum Point Players, the community theater group announced its 2026 season.

After months of meetings, readings and shuffling of scripts, the play reading committee presented recommendations for productions of music, laughter, child’s play, a fine romance, and a deeply moving and thought-provoking look at layers of American life in the 1980s.

Steven Perry, committee chair, said, “We are excited to bring our community a season that has something for everyone.”

The committee’s recommendations of “Sondheim on Sondheim,” “Ripcord,” “Mary Poppins,” “Angels in America” and “She Loves Me” were approved for the 2026 season. The directors’ selection committee will announce interviews for those interested in directing any of the selections.

Perry said, “From the family-friendly classic ‘Mary Poppins,’ to the award-winning landmark drama ‘Angels in America,’ and with a little Sondheim in the mix keeping everyone’s toes tapping as well, we think we are engaging the minds and hearts of our followers.”

Possum Point Players President Steven Dow said, “I cannot contain my excitement for the slate of shows that the Possum Point Players will present in 2026 – from a Tony award-winning drama to one of the best musicals ever written, ‘She Loves Me,’ which, by the way, led to my favorite romantic comedy movie adaptation, ‘You've Got Mail.’”

Dow said he expects audiences will laugh and enjoy themselves with shows that make adults feel like kids again and comedies that involve hilarious pranks, but also experience touching moments that explore friendship and redemption.

A performer in musicals himself, Dow said, “I am especially excited that the year begins with ‘Sondheim on Sondheim,’ an insightful musical tribute to the life and works of, in my opinion, the greatest musical theater composer and lyricist. I can't wait!”
