For years, the theatre’s beloved Intermezzo series turned the quiet nights between main stage productions into some of the most talked-about evenings of the summer. In 2026, that tradition returns re-imagined as the DARK NIGHT SERIES: six extraordinary performances, six unforgettable evenings, one historic train station. Some things are too good to leave in the dark.
