Announcing Quark’s 2026-27 Season

Quark’s season is lined up and tickets will be available soon! As always, you can join our mailing list below and we won’t spam you.

First: Murder for Two by Kellen Blair and Joe Kinosian, starring Nathan McHenry and Eileen Kuo and running August 14-30 at TheatreWorks.

Officer Marcus Moscowicz is a small-town policeman with dreams of making it to detective. One fateful night, shots ring out at the surprise birthday party of Great American Novelist Arthur Whitney and the writer is killed…fatally. With the nearest detective an hour away, Marcus jumps at the chance to prove his sleuthing skills—with the help of his silent partner, Lou. But whodunit? Did Dahlia Whitney, Arthur’s scene-stealing wife, give him a big finish? Is Barrette Lewis, the prima ballerina, the prime suspect? Did Dr. Griff, the overly-friendly psychiatrist, make a frenemy? Marcus has only a short amount of time to find the killer and make his name before the real detective arrives… and the ice cream melts!

Murder For Two is the perfect blend of music, mayhem and murder! In this hilarious 90-minute show, 2 performers play 13 roles – not to mention the piano – in a witty and winking homage to old-fashioned murder mysteries. You won’t want to miss this killer musical comedy!

Second: Thom Pain (based on nothing) by Will Eno. October 9 – 25 at The Evergreen.

Eno is the author of Wakey, Wakey, which Quark has previously produced twice.

Thom Pain was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama.

It is a one person show in which a man, Thom, attempts to explain himself and his life.

Sort of.

It’s funny and sad and angry and compassionate.

Quark co-founder Tony Isbell will be taking on this role.

Third: The Thin Place by Lucas Hnath. February 12 – 28 at The Evergreen.

Hnath is the author of A DOLL’S HOUSE, PART 2, among other works.

The Thin Place is a sort of cross between a ghost story and a seance. It’s funny and spooky and moving and unsettling…

Auditions will take place sometime this summer. More info to come.

Fourth and finally: Every Brilliant Thing by Duncan Macmillan. May 27 – June 6 at TheatreWorks

Macmillan is the author of Lungs, previously produced by Quark.

You may have heard of Every Brilliant Thing recently as it is currently running on Broadway, starring Daniel Radcliffe!

Every Brilliant Thing is also a one person show which tells the story of the protagonist’s life, dealing with sorrow and depression in the funniest way you’ve ever seen…

As the story goes on, the actor invites audience members into the show to portray other characters from her life.

This one person show will be performed by Kim Justis.
