Homewood Theatre has announced a 2025-2026 season that includes comedy, musicals and a Southern play that’s a contemporary classic.
Here’s a look at the season, according to a release on the theater’s Facebook page. Info on the plays is taken from the Facebook post. Tickets are on sale now.
“Bill Bugg and Friends Part 8” (Aug. 13-17). Bill Bugg is back with an all-new cavalcade of cabaret to kick off the season. He and his friends will be singing show tunes and standards backed by a swinging combo.
“The Butler Did It” (Oct. 9-19). This murder mystery comedy will have you guessing as you try to figure out “whodunit.” No one is really as they appear.
“Steel Magnolias” (Dec. 4-14). Classic Southern comedy with lots of laughs and a little bit of heart. Everyone remembers the movie starring Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Julia Roberts. This one makes you remember it’s better to have “30 minutes of wonderful than a lifetime of nothing special.” Directed by Dennis McLernon.
“The Country Fried Fabulous Spa Dee Dah Sisterhood” (Feb. 5-15, 2026). From the writers of “The Golden Girls” television program. This one is a sequel to “The Hallelujah Girls,” which Homewood Theatre did a couple of years ago.
“Moon Over Buffalo” (April 9-19, 2026). Madcap comedy about a theater troupe’s split-up caused by one’s dalliance with a young ingénue. Things really get out of hand when they find out Frank Capra is coming to town to see their matinee. Directed by Pat Yates.
“Working the Musical” (May 28-June 7, 2026). Musical based on Studs Terkel’s best-selling book. This musical paints a vivid portrait of all the people who work … and make the world a complex and wonderful place. Directed by Carl Dean.
