The 2025 Season, curated by Producing Artistic Director Anna M. Hogan, promises an invigorating blend of laughter, drama, and innovative storytelling designed to awaken and inspire. The season kicks off Duncan McMillan’s life-affirming EVERY BRILLIANT THING, continues with LAUGHS IN SPANISH, a comedy fueled by cafecíto and chaos, followed by the Tony Award-winning musical SOMETHING ROTTEN! and the New Mexico Premiere of Dillon Christopher Chitto’s Indigifuturist play PUEBLO REVOLT. The season also boasts offerings for the holiday season, including Kate Hamill’s daring DRACULA (A FEMINIST REVENGE FANTASY) and the beloved whodunit musical, THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD. SFP’s 103rd Annual MELODRAMA also returns with fresh, locally-rooted satire.

EVERY BRILLIANT THING
by Duncan Macmillan, with Jonny Donahoe
You’re six years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. 1. Ice cream. 2. Kung Fu movies. 3. Burning things. 4. Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. 5. Construction cranes. 6. Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. A play about depression and the lengths we will go to for those we love.
MAINSTAGE | May 8 – May 25, 2025
LAUGHS IN SPANISH
by Alexis Scheer
It’s Art Basel, and the stakes are high for the gallery that Mariana runs in the Wynwood Arts District in Miami. And when Mariana’s movie-star mother tries to help out, things get even more complicado. Laughs in Spanish is a fast-paced, cafecíto-induced comedy about art and success – and mothers and daughters.
MAINSTAGE | July 10 – Aug 2, 2025
SOMETHING ROTTEN!
Book by John O’Farrell & Karey Kirkpatrick
Music and lyrics by Karey & Wayne Kirkpatrick
Set in the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as “The Bard.” When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.
MAINSTAGE | Aug 14 – 31, 2025
PUEBLO REVOLT
by Dillon Christopher Chitto
Directed by Tara Moses
A comedy about two Indigenous brothers living under Colonial Spanish rule in New Mexico: one is an inexperienced revolutionary, and the other is a gay idealist. They must question their beliefs, morality, and what is necessary to ensure their people’s and family’s survival when the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 begins. Equally hilarious and poignant, the play weaves together history and Indigifuturism.
MAINSTAGE | Oct 16 – Nov 2, 2025
DRACULA
(A Feminist Revenge Fantasy)
by Kate Hamill
Both terrifying and riotous, Kate Hamill’s imaginative, gender-bending “feminist revenge fantasy” is like no Dracula you’ve ever seen—exploring the nature of predators and reinventing the story as a smart, disquieting, darkly comic drama. Hamill’s signature style and postmodern wit upends this familiar tale of Victorian vampires—driving a stake through the heart of toxic masculinity.
MAINSTAGE | Dec 4, 2025 – January 4, 2026
THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DROOD
(Broadway Revival Version)
by Rupert Holmes
Based on Charles Dickens’ final unfinished novel, this hilarious whodunit musical invites the audience to solve its mystery by choosing the identity of the murderer. The tale is presented as a show-within-a-show, as the Music Hall Royale – a delightfully loony Victorian theatre company – presents Dickens’ brooding mystery. Musical numbers include “Perfect Strangers,” “Don’t Quit While You’re Ahead,” “Off To The Races” and “Moonfall.”
