HOW IT WORKS:
During the Artistic Program, we will reveal a top secret line-up of four musicals we're considering for the 2026-2027 Season, and a cast of your favorite Blackfriars artists will perform two songs from each musical. Throughout the program, attendees will be given the chance to purchase votes for their favorite show. Purchase as many votes as you like - all proceeds will directly support Blackfriars Theatre's artistic and educational programming. At the end of the night, the show with the most votes will be programmed in our 2026-2027 Season! Vote often to ensure your favorite musical will make it into our 77th Season - and feel good in the knowledge that each vote purchased supports your local non-profit theatre company! Votes are available for purchase during the event only. Titles of shows under consideration will be unveiled during the event.

celebrate and secure the future of Blackfriars Theatre!
