Barefoot in the Park
February 6 – March 1, 2026
Barefoot in the Park is Neil Simon’s sky-high romantic comedy about newlyweds Corie and Paul navigating life in a tiny New York apartment. She’s a free-spirited optimist; he’s a buttoned-up lawyer. As mismatched expectations collide their relationship is pushed to the edge and the young couple learns to live together facing the daily ups-and-downs of life.
The Drowsy Chaperone
April 10 – May 10, 2026
A witty valentine to the Golden Age of musicals, The Drowsy Chaperone springs to life when a lonely fan plays his favorite record. Dazzling dance numbers, bumbling gangsters, and a boozy chaperone fill the stage in this laugh-out-loud, charming celebration of Broadway, nostalgia, and the irresistible magic of theatre.
Arsenic and Old Lace
August 14 – September 6, 2026
Two sweet spinster aunts offer lonely gentlemen elderberry wine laced with arsenic—the kindest form of charity. Nephew Mortimer uncovers the bodies amid his engagement. Enter his brother “Teddy Roosevelt” and a Boris Karloff-lookalike criminal and pandemonium erupts. Joseph Kesselring’s Arsenic and Old Lace is a dark comedy about the only thing more deadly than poison: family.
Into the Woods
October 23 – November 22, 2026
Fairy tales collide in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s dazzling musical where wishes are granted and consequences sing. Follow Cinderella, Little Red, Jack, and a Baker and his Wife on a wickedly witty adventure with a spellbinding score. Don’t miss this Tony Award–winning classic that turns ‘once upon a time’ into something extraordinary.
Holiday Cabaret
December 18-19, 2026
We are pleased to announce A Holiday Cabaret, our annual holiday sing along! In what has become a holiday tradition at Coronado Playhouse, we bring together some of our CPH alums and present a feel-good must-see, just in time for the holidays.
