Director of Audience Development, Brett Hitchcock, says it'll feature five shows, one less than in the years before COVID.
"So normally our seasons will start in November, and they'll end early November of the next year. We are trying to get back to that point, so this will be the last year that we are only doing five shows. Next year we'll be back to starting with our Christmas show in November and then ending with the fall show."
Circa is also back to full capacity which means there's room for up to 330 people in the audience. Hitchcock says state restrictions during the pandemic held that number down to just 50.
"It was not a great experience, either for the audience because there were so few of them in such a large room, and also for the actors because the actors feed off the audience throughout the show."
He says Circa survived the past two years thanks to its patrons, local donations, and federal assistance.
The new season will include four musicals and one comedy, opening with "We Will Rock You," based on the music of Queen. Following that will be "Grumpy Old Men," "Mama Mia," "Escape to Margaritaville," and "The Outsider."
