BLT reveals music, comedy, classics for 2025-26 season

Published 8:00 am Saturday, August 2, 2025

Brookhaven Little Theatre hosted a party this week to reveal the titles for its 2025-2026 regular season productions, unveiling a half-dozen theatrical productions and three entries in the Haven Live series.

The free Reveal Party showcased cast members performing numbers from the past season.

“It’s always a fun event to attend,” said BLT production manager Steven McMorris. “It was completely packed.”

Those attending the Reveal Party got first dibs on season membership packages at huge discounts. Season packages allow patrons to choose their seats and dates for shows before regular show tickets go on sale as well as other benefits.

McMorris said season packages will be offered for a few more weeks at www.brookhavenlittletheatre.com, but the discount ends Tuesday, Aug. 5.

“Right now, with the season package, tickets are $10 a show. That’s the best deal you’re going to get,” he said.

After Aug. 5, regular seating is $20 and premium seating is $30.

Tickets for specific shows will be available for purchase on the website in a few weeks.

Shows scheduled this season are:

“Father of the Bride,” Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 25-28, is a two-hour comedic play recommended for all ages. ​A father must adjust to the sudden engagement announcement of his daughter and the chaos that ensues as they plan a small, simple wedding that quickly becomes anything but.

“Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” Friday-Sunday, Dec. 5-14, is a 90-minute Christmas musical comedy for all ages. Anyone who has enjoyed the classic television special will also enjoy it coming to life before their eyes and ears.

“Joseph & the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” Thursday-Sunday, April 16-26, is considered one of the most enduring musical comedies of all time. It is a two-hour reimagining of the biblical story of Joseph, his father Jacob, 11 brothers, and the coat of many colors.
