The Mousetrap, Romeo & Juliet among upcoming shows

(Press release)

March 7, 2025 – Arvada CO – The Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities celebrates their 50th anniversary with a 2025-2026 Theatre Season that honors community, connection, and the joy of joining together at the theatre to feel something. This season is underwritten by Diana and Mike Kinsey. The 2025-2026 Theatre Season Presenting Sponsor is Intermountain Health. The Artistic Director for the Arvada Center is Lynne Collins.

“Live theatre is one of the few places in our increasingly siloed world where we come together with strangers to share an experience,” said Artistic Director Lynne Collins. “When the person next to us laughs or gasps or breathes differently, we feel it and our own reactions are changed because they are shared. As we share these stories this season, we hope you join us to feel, think, and learn together. The audience is the real magic of live theatre, and nothing we do comes to life without you.”

Starting with the longest-running play in theatre history, Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap whodunit is filled with the red herrings and plot twists that Christie is famous for. In the fall, the Black Box will become a cabaret complete with select tables onstage for the Billie Holiday musical Lady Day at Emerson’s Bar and Grill. For our holiday musical, Disney’s Frozen explores the power of sisterhood and true love with unforgettable songs like “Let It Go.” To kick off the next year, we’ll produce Romeo and Juliet, the classic Shakespeare love story, staged in-the-round about forging connections across enemy lines that is still so timely today. To close the season, Come From Away uses musical theatre and Irish folk music to tell the true story of a place that opens its arms to people from all over.

For the 2025-2026 Theatre Season, the Arvada Center is pleased to present streamlined options for season ticket packages. Season ticket packages are on sale March 7, 2025. Single tickets for all productions go on sale July 7, 2025 at 11:00 am. To learn more about our flexible, customizable season ticket packages, go to arvadacenter.org/subscribe.
