Drury Lane Stratford “Festival” Get-A-Way

For more than five decades, Drury Lane Theatrical Productions has been proud to bring exceptional live theatre to our community, and it’s with great excitement that we invite you to be part of our 52nd Season. Enclosed you’ll find our 2026–2027 Season Brochure, a subscription Order Form, and a rack card highlighting our Drury Lane Plus series. Once again, Drury Lane will be “Paying It Forward” by including Benefit Performances at each of our fall, winter and spring productions, donating to charitable and youth performing arts organizations. Our Mainstage Season offers something for every theatre-lover: A Christmas Story – The Musical (November 2026) A lavish, glittering Holiday Musical for the whole family! Join Ralphie Parker on his quest for the Holy Grail of Christmas, a Red Ryder air rifle. Songs, dance, and nostalgia. Snow White – A Christmas Pantomime (December 2026) A joyful, high-spirited theatrical romp for all ages, packed with music, comedy, and all the hijinx of traditional British pantomime with audience participation. The 46th Annual Music Hall (February/March 2027) One of Drury Lane’s longest-running and most beloved traditions—an evening of variety, comedy, and musical spectacle. Come clap and cheer, hiss and boo, and sing along! Little Women – The Broadway Musical (May 2027) Louisa May Alcott’s beloved story of the four March sisters, Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth, is now a magical musical spectacle where spirit, love, heartbreak, hope, and romance are backed with a powerful score. Beyond the mainstage, Drury Lane Plus , our fundraising performance series, expands our programming with intimate, music-driven events, perfect for audiences looking to experience live performance in new and exciting ways. Next season we present Celebrating Springsteen: Unplugged, and Piece of My Heart – Janis Joplin Tribute. Together, they represent a season that celebrates storytelling, music, humour, and heart. As always, subscribers enjoy the best seats, best value, and a reassurance of priority booking. Saturday and Sunday matinees continue to be available for every production. Our Senior Discount continues for opening Friday and Saturday performances. And for flexibility, two and three show subscription packages allow you to tailor your season to suit your schedule. Attention DONORS! The magic of theatre begins long before the curtain rises. We are on target to complete our transformation of The Loft, creating an inviting atmosphere that captivates patrons from the moment they arrive. Our goal is to enhance every aspect of the theatre experience, ensuring that our venue reflects the excellence of our performances. To date our Capital Campaign: Transforming Drury Lane has raised $165,000 of our $1M goal. We are pleased to receive your One-Time Gift, Pledge or Monthly contribution. Drury Lane has always been more than a theatre; it’s a gathering place, a creative home, and a shared tradition. Whether you’ve been with us for many seasons or are considering joining us for the first time, we’re delighted to welcome you back for another year of live theatre. We look forward to sharing the magic of our 52nd Season with you.

The book, Postman Delivers! is about the life and loves of an ordinary guy, in a small town, who enters a contest to write a summer play - and wins! This changes everything in his life. Putting on the play takes a large part of the story. About the Author, Reg Gilmore I volunteered at Drury Lane for ten years, 1995 to 2005. I think I worked on about 30 shows painting sets and designing a few as well. That's where I met Louise - wow, 30 years ago. We worked on painting together and produced My Fair Lady in 2002. Louise and I have been writing for many years, and have self published short stories and poetry on Amazon.com. Postman Delivers is my first novel. Thanks for taking an interest. Reg
