ATI announces 2025-2026 season

Four fantastic musicals to make you smile, snicker, shake & shiver

Actors Theatre of Indiana (ATI) has announced the shows making up the 2025-2026 season.

Starting in September 2025 will be Beehive: The 60’s Musical. This show celebrates the powerful female voices of the 1960s with such timeless hits as “My Boyfriend’s Back,” “Be My Baby,” “Son of a Preacher Man,” and “Me and Bobby McGee.” Told from the perspective of six young women who come of age in this enigmatic decade, Beehive takes you from their first Beehive Dance to the challenges the nation faced as a whole.

Next, in October 2025, enjoy a monster musical comedy. Enjoy comedy genius Mel Brooks’ brilliant stage creation, adapted from his legendarily funny film Young Frankenstein.

Grandson of the infamous Victor Frankenstein, Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronk-en-steen”) inherits his family’s estate in Transylvania. With the help of a hunchbacked sidekick, Igor (pronounced “Eye-gore”), and a leggy lab assistant, Inga (pronounced normally), Frederick finds himself in the mad scientist shoes of his ancestors. “It’s alive!” he exclaims as he brings to life a creature to rival his grandfather’s. Eventually, of course, the monster escapes and hilarity continuously abounds.

In January 2026, ATI brings you Lucky Stiff from the Tony Award-winning writing team, Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty.

Based on the novel The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery farce, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds, and a corpse in a wheelchair. The story revolves around an unassuming English shoe salesman who is forced to take the embalmed body of his recently murdered uncle on a vacation to Monte Carlo. Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn … or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex!

Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Sunset Boulevard wraps up the season in April 2026. Haunted by her memories and dreams, movie star Norma Desmond yearns to return to the big screen. A struggling screenwriter who can’t sell his scripts to the Hollywood studios may be her only hope, until their dangerous and captivating relationship leads to disaster. Drenched in champagne and cynicism, Sunset Boulevard focuses the lens on the ambitions and frustrations of its characters and puts their intoxicating need for fame and adoration in stark close-up.
