The Huntington’s 2025/26 season includes: Tony Award winner Jez Butterworth’s The Hills of California, the haunting, international hit drama which asks, when home calls us back, how can we face everything we left behind; the poignant and hilarious toast of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Sardines (a comedy about death) written and performed by Chris Grace of TV’s Superstore, which wonders how we keep dancing even when the music stops; the groundbreaking and emotionally rich Tony Award-winning musical Fun Home, with music by Jeanine Tesori and book and lyrics by Lisa Kron, based on Alison Bechdel’s beloved graphic novel about how we learn to see our parents with grown-up eyes; Joshua Harmon’s heartfelt and funny We Had a World; an electrifying reimagining of the ancient myth of Oedipus with modern urgency to discover whether any of us can escape our fate in Oedipus El Rey by Luis Alfaro; and Eureka Day by Jonathan Spector, a biting, on-the-pulse, Broadway satire exploring all the ways we disagree with laugh-out-loud results.
