Single tickets to the Arden Theatre Company's 2018-19 season will go on sale to the public on August 15, 2018. The exciting lineup of regional premieres and engaging productions offer Philadelphians a chance to see great stories by great storytellers in a dynamic, award-winning theatre.

The Arden Theatre opened their twenty-sixth season with a stellar production of PARADE. This musical takes place in 1913 and tells the story of Leo Frank who was accused of murdering a thirteen year old girl, Mary Phagan. This show grapples with the trial of Leo Frank, and the racial environment that surrounded the trial in Georgia. PARADE depicts the resentments and fears held by many Georgians during the early twentieth century. The Arden's production of PARADE, under the direction of Terrance Nolan, is powerful, thought provoking, and well executed.

The word 'brilliant' is the word that came to mind as I left the Arden Theatre after seeing their production of A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC. Stephen Sondheim wrote the music and lyrics for this musical and Hugh Wheeler wrote the book. The Ingmar Bergman film, SMILE OF A SUMMER NIGHT, inspired this musical. Terrance J. Nolan directs this current production, and the Arden's A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC is astounding.

Arden Theater's Producing Artistic Director, Terrance J.Nolan, is always inventing ways to entertain us.

A show about a barber who takes a little too much off the top as the Arden Theater presents a chilling production of one of Stephen Sondheim's less cheery ditties.
