Seven extraordinary evenings, one historic train station
The dark nights are back — and they brought friends. For years, the Depot's beloved Intermezzo series turned the quiet nights between productions into some of the most talked-about evenings of the summer. In 2026 the tradition returns reimagined as the Dark Night Series: seven extraordinary performances, seven unforgettable evenings. Some things are too good to leave dark.

✦ Donations at the doorEureka Day
by Jonathan Spector
A razor-sharp comedy set at a progressive private school where a mumps outbreak forces the board to confront the one topic they can't consensus their way through: vaccines. Jonathan Spector skewers the culture of hearing all sides with wicked precision as good intentions collide with conflicting facts and social-media pile-ons. Smart, biting, and painfully timely.
