Today, The Huntington Theatre announced their upcoming 2025/2026 season including favorites from Broadway classics to world premieres including the sixth installment of Boston’s city-wide Ufot Family Cycle. 

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.

As part of 7-play season packages, The Huntington will also include access to the world premiere of Mfoniso Udofia’s The Ceremony, which will be produced by Chuang Stage in association with Boston University School of Theatre and Boston Playwrights’ Theatre in fall of 2025. This piece was commissioned by The Huntington and offers a vibrant, heartwarming celebration of love that weds Nigerian and Nepali cultures. The Boston Globe states that “Mfoniso Udofia’s cycle of nine plays about three generations of a Nigerian American family has to be counted as the main event of Boston’s 2024-25 theatre season.” Under The Huntington’s leadership, over 35 community and cultural partners have come together to make this unprecedented and ambitious Ufot Family Cycle possible.

Season ticket packages are available for purchase at huntingtontheatre.org or by calling 617-266-0800. Season ticket holders receive up to 65% off single ticket prices. Single tickets to individual shows will go on sale in late spring/early summer.
