Our 19th Season (2016-2017)

Our 19th Season

The Chameleon Theatre Circle is proud to announce its upcoming season of six productions (plus two special events!) in the Black Box Theatre at the Ames Center, beginning with the groundbreaking puppetry musical for adults, Avenue Q!

Later in the season, Chameleon will thrill audiences with Side Show, the award-winning musical about conjoined twins Daisy and Violet Hilton! In between these two amazing musicals will be co-production (with Theatre Uncorked) of Edward Albee's quintessential modern drama Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Jeffrey Hatcher's updated version of the classic thriller Wait Until Dark, and Patrick Barlow's madcap stage adaptation of The 39 Steps. Closing out the season is Tom Stoppard's complex and fascinating Arcadia!

In addition to the regular season, Chameleon will produce its 17th Annual New Play Festival in November, and will present its third production of a former New Play Festival audience favorite, Mom! The Musical, just in time for Mother's Day!
