Submissions for shows will open on September 15\, 2025. The festival plays February 11 – 15\, 2026 \nIn March of 2026\, Dave Anderson\, one of the early Bruka Theatre instigators and director of many shows including Richard III\, Macbeth\, King Lear\, co-founder of Laughing Owl Theatre Company\, and currently teaching theatre at TMCC directs Shakespeare’s THE TEMPEST. Prospero\, an exiled Duke\, uses his powers to create a storm on his magical island that shipwrecks his enemies. The play explores themes of colonialism\, betrayal\, magic\, revenge and forgiveness as Prospero orchestrates events to reclaim his dukedom and achieve justice against those who usurped him. Plays March 6 – 21\, 2026. \nIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of The Declaration Of Independence comes the regional premiere of playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play\, WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME. This award-winning play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious\, hopeful and achingly human new play\, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. Directed by Stacy Johnson whose most recent direction was Moon Over Buffalo and stage appearance in The Beauty Queen Of Leenane. Featuring Mary Bennett. Plays April 10 – April 25\, 2026. \nMay of 2026\, takes us from the battlefield to the flames with The Lark written by French dramatist Jean Anouilh\, adapted by Lillian Hellman. This 1952 dramatization of the life and trial of Joan of Arc opens at Brüka Theatre on May 15 and plays through May 31\, 2026. Directed by Holly Natwora\, a local theatre artist whose dense and impressive resume includes such Brüka shows as Dangerous Liaisons\, Waiting For Godot\, and The Diary Of Anne Frank. \nBrüka’s 33rd season culminates with the 1998 revival of CABARET with music by John Kander\, lyrics by Fred Ebb\, and a book by Joe Materoff. We finish the season as we began\, in a seedy nightclub\, as the 1920s draw to a close\, a garish Master of Ceremonies welcomes the audience and assures them they will forget all their troubles at the Cabaret. With the Emcee’s bawdy songs as wry commentary\, Cabaret explores the dark\, heady and tumultuous life of Berlin’s natives and expatriates as Germany slowly yields to the emerging Third Reich. Directed by Mary Bennett and Choreographed by Alexander Biber. Opening June 26 and playing through July 18\, 2026. \nBrüka Theatre For Children returns this season with THE SPORKALS LEAGUE – A Hero’s Adventure\, focusing on values.

SUMMARY:The Producers: A Mel Brook's Musical
DESCRIPTION:How do you create a flop on Broadway? \nIf you’re Mel Brooks\, you start with a scheming con man (Max Bialystock)\, add in a mousy accountant (Leo Bloom)\, then introduce them to a pigeon-loving Nazi and his script for a gloriously offensive musical\, “Springtime for Hitler\,” and finally\, sprinkle in an eager blonde bombshell! It’s a recipe for failure. But in this laugh-out-loud comedy\, unexpected success throws Max and Leo into a downward spiral\, with unexpected consequences. Crazy caricatures and camp spectacle come together to produce a wonderfully tasteless evening of entertainment. The in-your-face humor includes high-kicking stormtroopers\, a flock of pigeons\, hand puppets\, and little old ladies dancing with walkers. It’s sure to be a flop! We mean\, hit! \nBeware: this show is not for the weak of heart\, (or for youth under 16; discretion advised). \nCast List\nMax Bialystock: Ryan Kelly\nLeo Bloom: Ryan Costello\nRoger Debris: Michael Davanzo\nUlla: Zoe McCracken\nFranz Liebkind: Jared Lively\nCarmen Ghia: Aiden Lyramor\nEnsemble: Rachel Anderson\, Noah Boston\, Emzy Burroughs\, Ora Harris\, Denny Hope\, Bryce Hurley\, Glynis Irving\, Noah Jackson\, Angel Kominsky\, Mary Beth Lavender\, Wendy Lyramor\, Kelsy Mato\, Alex Mead\, Jacob Nichols\, Sasha Rodriguez\, Sam Shepherd\, Erin Vashista\, Alyssa von Eberstein\, Trevor Young \nRobert Z Hawkins Amphitheater\nBartley Ranch\, Reno\nAll Shows Start at 7:30 pm\nFriday and Saturday\, August 8th and 9th\nThursday-Sunday\, August 14th-17th\nFriday and Saturday\, August 22nd and 23rd \nPricing\nVIP Reserved: $65.00\nADA Seating : $40.00\nPremium Center: $40.00\nPremium Left: $40.00\nPremium Right: $40.00\nADA Row H right: $30.00\nADA Row H right: $30.00\nGallery – Center: $30.00\nGallery Left: $30.00\nGallery Right: $30.00\nUpper Gallery Center: $25.00\nUpper Gallery Left: $25.00\nUpper Gallery Right: $25.00\nLawn – General Admission : $20.00\nLawn -General Admission : $20.00\nLawn seating – General Admission : $20.00 \nRUNNING TIME\n2.25 hours with 15 minute intermission

SUMMARY:BRÜKALTON A Regency Comedy Proving Once & For All That Big Balls Don’t Matter As Much As You Think They Do.
DESCRIPTION:BRÜKALTON \nA Regency Comedy Proving Once & For All That Big Balls Don’t Matter As Much As You Think They Do. \nWritten & Directed By Mary Bennett \nPlease Note The New Dates Below\nMay 2\, 3\, 7(A)\, 8\, 9\, 10\, 14\, 15\, 16\, 17@ 7:30 PM SUN Matinees: May 4 & May 18* @ 2 PM \nTICKETS: Senior/Student/Military $26 General Tickets $30 All Tickets $35 at the Door \nA = Artist Night $17 All Tickets *Sunday – Talk Back With The Company \nBRUKALTON ONLINE TICKET LINK: https://www.bruka.org/boxoffice \nINDIVIDUAL TICKETS ON SALE NOW \nRecommended for ages 14 & Up due to Adult Themes & Language. \nReno\, NV. THE STORY: In this original comedy with a spice of regency parody we visit the village of Brukalton on the day of the society ball following the gender bent and sometimes lonely\, yet always clever siblings of the one time noble and influential Brukalton family under the reign of the bombastic King Chuck as they navigate their strange existence where the loneliest girl in town only wants one thing\, to be remembered for her artistry instead of being being part of Brukalton society. \nWith a wink toward romance\, comedy and ridiculous and fanciful social norms\, it is set during the early 19th century in an alternative world existing in an alternative era of Regency in which no one knows what will happen next\, excepting for the love in the afternoon and the big ball that will prove to the village once and for all that big balls don’t matter. Recommended for ages 14 and up because of thematic things that could be weird to explain in the car on the way home. Created by Bruka’s Producing Artistic Director Mary Bennett. \nTICKET INFORMATION\nArtist Night Tickets must be purchased in advance to receive a discount of our regularly priced tickets.

We all feel haunted by what we shove into the darkness…lifetimes of being diagnosed\, told we are not enough or too much\, wearing masks to hide our honesty\, to make ourselves more palatable to others. These concepts motivated\, consumed us and launched us on a powerful quest through our own shadows\, our own light\, and honest self perceptions.

Audiences vote for the winner in the collectable LITTLE MISS BUTTCRACKER playing Friday\, December 6 through December 21\, 2024. What began as a parody of The Nutcracker\, has evolved into a regional cult classic\, offering a different underbelly to the original ballet each year it is performed. Not for ballet purists or those with tight slippers. Recommended: 12 years and up. Get your tickets early! \nTHE STORY: For your holiday titillations\, an all original BÜTTCRACKER opens Friday\, December 6 playing through December 21\, 2024. In Little Miss Buttcracker\, Clara becomes Olive as her family puts the fun back into “dysfunctional” as they embark on a cross country journey to engage in pageantry and competition with the Dance Moms. Brükaisms abound in this 12th rendition which is more of a Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride than a “tighten your toe shoes to the music” kind of experience. \nTICKET INFORMATION\nArtist Night Tickets must be purchased in advance to receive a discount of our regularly priced tickets.

SUMMARY:The Laramie Project
DESCRIPTION:In October 1998\, a twenty-one-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped\, severely beaten\, and left tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie\, Wyoming. His bloody\, bruised\, and battered body was not discovered until the next day\, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard\, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half\, in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case\, while others were citizens of Laramie\, and the breadth of the reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences in Laramie.
