We’re excited to announce Walking Shadow’s 2026-2027 Season! Join us for these three amazing theatrical events:
Open
by Crystal Skillman
directed by Bryan Grosso & Amy Rummenie
performed by Allison Vincent
Jan 9 – 31, 2027
at the Hive Collaborative
Open unfolds like a live magic show, but what seems like an entertaining performance soon becomes a deep, heartfelt story about love, loss, and the power of belief. A single performer known only as “The Magician” invites the audience into her world of tricks and illusions, but behind every sleight of hand is a deeply human journey to save the woman she loves. Equal parts enchanting and emotional, Open uses the wonder of magic as a metaphor for hope, courage, and confronting life’s impossible moments.
“It’s an important time to tell this very real, human, magical, beautiful story of a relationship.”
— Jill Schafer, Cherry and Spoon
The Odyssey
adapted by Charlie Bethel
directed by Amy Rummenie
performed by John Heimbuch
Mar 12 – Apr 11, 2027
at the Black Forest Inn
Voyage across land and sea as Odysseus survives shipwrecks, monsters, goddesses, ghosts, and angry suitors in his quest to return to the arms of his loving wife.
Acclaimed solo storyteller John Heimbuch performs Charlie Bethel’s adaptation of Homer’s famous tale in an accessible 90-minute performance.
Friends & Lovers
by John Heimbuch
directed by Kassy Skoretz
June 5 – 27, 2027
at Crane Theater
When partners Avery and Quinn attend a fan convention together, they quickly discover a new romantic spark… with other people. As these relationships blossom, everyone’s priorities begin to change. When new love starts, how do you make room for what’s most important?
Friends & Lovers is a geeky new polyamorous Rom-Com by Walking Shadow’s Artistic Director John Heimbuch.
