Audiences can count on the Majestic's plays to offer a mix of comedy (oftentimes farce), drama, new plays, old chestnuts, and always ending its season with a big musical.

Currently on stage is Nunsense, (through 10/11/26) a musical-comedy featuring actors as a cadre of atypical nuns -- thus the name "Nunsense". Think Woopie Goldberg's hit movie. Now, put it on a live stage and "Nunsense" is all the better. This classic crowd‑pleaser—an international sensation -- performed in more than 8,000 productions worldwide and winner of four Outer Critics Circle Awards.
 
Lend Me a Tenor (10/22 - 11/29, 2026) is among the best of playwright Ken Ludwig. This very funny farce set in the 1930's spins a yarn wildly out of control when a world‑famous tenor’s visit to the Grand Cleveland Opera triggers a chain reaction of mistaken identities, accidental overdoses, frantic costume swaps, and enough backstage panic to make even seasoned stage managers break a sweat.
 
Eureka Day (1/7 – 2/14/27) by Jonathan Spector is a sharply written comedy which follows a group of well‑meaning parents and school trustees as they navigate a sensitive public health concern—one that tests personal convictions, community responsibility, and the art of listening. Never taking sides, the play uses humor and insight to explore how neighbors can find common ground.
 
Arthur Miller's The Price (2/25 – 4/4/27) is a gripping and deeply human drama about the emotional costs we carry from life choices as depicted by actors portraying two long‑estranged brothers reuniting to sell their late parents’ belongings. The attic around them becomes a battleground of memory, resentment, and long‑buried truths. 
 
West Side Story (4/15 – 5/30/27), the timeless musical where soaring romance meets gripping drama, features  one of the most beloved scores in American theatre. Along with dynamic and electrifying choreography, this landmark production captures the intensity, hope, and heartbreak of young love divided by loyalty and circumstance.  
 
Additionally, the Majestic will present a variety of other upcoming shows, including:
Home for the Holidays: 12/3-6, 9-13, 16-20
Back by popular demand, this show returns for another heartwarming celebration to include Ray Guillemette, Jr., Myka Plunkett, Kait Rankins, David Webber, Madison Curbelo, Brad Shepard, and of course, SANTA.
 
Other holiday shows include:
Doo Wop Meets Motown…for Christmas! 12/7 at 7pm
Boy Band Experience: Holiday Edition! 12/8 at 7pm
