Introducing the 2026 Theatrical Season
The Hilliard Arts Council is thrilled to announce a vibrant 2026 season filled with laughter, heart, and imagination. From Broadway favorites to family classics, each production invites audiences to experience the magic of live theatre close to home.
The season opens March 6 with Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr., a By Kids, For Kids adaptation of the beloved classic. On April 17, comedy takes center stage with Neil Simon’s Rumors, a fast-paced farce of misunderstandings and mayhem.
Summer shines with the June 12 Teen Revue: Let’s Go to the Movies, a nod to the silver screen, followed by the Tony Award–winning musical Pippin on July 10, where a young prince searches for purpose and “something extraordinary.”
As the leaves turn, the adventure continues September 18 with The Jungle Book, Kipling’s timeless tale of courage, belonging, and the laws of the wild. On November 6, audiences will delight in La Cage Aux Folles—the heartwarming, high-spirited musical that inspired The Birdcage.
We close the year with our cherished tradition, A Christmas Carol, opening December 3, with proceeds benefiting the Hilliard Food Pantry and local toy drive.
Join us for a year of extraordinary stories, unforgettable music, and community connection. Tickets go on sale in January at HilliardArtsCouncil.org
