    Fantastic Fall Shows

    These are the 6 can't-miss shows in Dallas-Fort Worth theater for October

    WaterTower Theatre presents Creep
    Creep brings Jack the Ripper to Addison.

    If there's a theme to this month's shows, it's fright. After all, there's nothing scarier than a serial killer, the devil himself, and visiting family members. But don't worry if you're easily scared — there are also a couple of shows that don't conjure up the Halloween heebie-jeebies, so there's something onstage for everyone in October.

    Creep, October 2-25
    WaterTower Theatre

    Donald Fowler has been working on his Jack the Ripper-inspired musical for years, which is no small feat for someone who is not classically trained and cannot read or play music. Fowler, a one-time Dallas actor who now heads up the hip design store Nest, enlisted local music-man-about-town Adam C. Wright to help him bring this dark and haunting story to life, and after several workshops the show is getting a splashy premiere at WaterTower Theatre. A bevy of hot DFW talent is also featured, from Janelle Lutz and Sarah Elizabeth Smith to Jonathan Bragg and Calvin Scott Roberts.

    Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, October 2-November 1
    Jubilee Theatre

    Audra McDonald earned acclaim (and her sixth Tony Award) playing Billie Holiday in this recreated concert given just four month before the legendary songstress' death. We're lucky enough to have Denise Lee around to pin up the flower and bring down the house as Lady Day, who shares tantalizing snippets from the icon's life in between a dozen of her most famous songs.

    blu, October 3-18
    Cara Mia Theatre Co.

    Cara Mia has been making a push to produce new work, and its latest offering is Virginia Grise's blu. The native Texan playwright combines spoken word and hip hop into an epic poem about a queer Xicana couple raising a family under the specter of gang warfare.

    Dear Liar!, October 8-24
    WingSpan Theatre Company

    It's always so fun to watch smart people banter, especially when those people are famed playwright George Bernard Shaw and the actress Mrs. Patrick Campbell. Shaw wrote the role of Eliza Doolittle in Pygmalion for his muse, and it sparked a 40-year correspondence between the two playwright Jerome Kilty used as the basis for Dear Liar!.

    Faust, October 9-24
    The Drama Club

    This actor-driven company may have been quiet for a while, but it's roaring back onto the scene with an adaptation of that man vs. devil tale, Faust. Cameron Cobb joins Lydia Mackay, Drew Wall, and a handful of other local talent for what looks like will be a thrilling production at Bryant Hall.

    Harbor, October 9-25
    Uptown Players

    Chad Beguelin may be more closely associated with family fare (he wrote the book for Disney's Aladdin and the lyrics for Broadway's Elf), but he gets a little naughtier with Harbor. Kevin's perfect life becomes tumultuous when his sister and her teenage daughter descend on his Sag Harbor home, throwing domestic life with his husband Ted into disarray. The spectacularly talented young Kennedy Waterman, a phenom from Fun House Theatre and Film, makes her Uptown debut as the daughter.

    A Divine Evening with Charles Busch, October 29-31
    Off Broadway on Flora

    The drag legend Charles Busch is not only a revered performer, but also a Tony Award-winning playwright. Those talents ensure that his solo cabaret at the Wyly Theatre will be not only fantastically entertaining, but also supported by expert storytelling as he shares personal anecdotes from his career through song and patter.

    Grand Hotel, October 30-November 8
    Lyric Stage

    The glamor of 1920s Berlin comes to Irving with this adaptation of the popular novel, stage play, and film, the latter of which starred Greta Garbo and Joan Crawford. At Lyric, we get such regulars as Andy Baldwin and Christopher J. Deaton, both of whom turned in strong performances in the recent Into The Woods. Len Pfluger also returns, following up his success with South Pacific by directing and choreographing this musical.

    Season Announcement

    Big spenders + bigger voices fill Lyric Stage's 2025-26 Dallas season

    Lindsey Wilson
    Jun 18, 2025 | 12:29 pm
    Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Curry
    The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    undefined

    For its 2025-26 season, Lyric Stage is pairing a sweet transvestite with Civil War-era sisters, a dance hall hostess with harmonizing ghosts, and a whole bunch of divas with their much-deserved spotlight.

    Now in its 32nd season, the nonprofit Lyric Stage is dedicated to the development and preservation of musicals, having produced more than 125 productions, which include 21 world-premiere musicals and two Off-Broadway shows.

    Under the helm of newish artistic directors Tricia Guenther and Scott Guenther, four of its current shows will take place in its Lyric Studio Space near the Trinity River, with one at Moody Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District.

    First up (and just in time for Halloween) is The Rocky Horror Show — note the missing "Picture." This is the stage version on which the cult classic movie was later based, but don't worry, audiences are still encouraged to shout at the performers and throw toilet paper and other props.

    Sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including a rocking biker and a creepy butler. Through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named “Rocky.” It runs October 10-26, 2025 at Lyric Stage Studio and is not family-friendly.

    For the holiday season, Forever Plaid - Plaid Tidings brings Francis, Jinx, Smudge, and Sparky back to Earth on the orders of Rosemary Clooney to put a little harmony into a discordant world.

    Stewart Ross' musical is sprinkled with Christmas offerings and audience favorites, like the riotous three-minute-and-eleven-second version of The Ed Sullivan Show, this time, featuring the Rockettes, the Chipmunks, and The Vienna Boys Choir. It runs December 5-21, 2025, at Lyric Stage Studio.

    For one night only, the Dallas Divas return just in time for Valentine’s Day.

    Showcasing some of the most talented voices in Dallas, singing songs ranging from Broadway to pop, the performance is a Lyric Stage tradition. It is February 11, 2026, at Moody Performance Hall.

    Inspired by Federico Fellini’s Night of Cabiria, Sweet Charity explores the turbulent love life of Charity Hope Valentine, a hopelessly romantic but comically unfortunate dance hall hostess in New York City.

    With a tuneful, groovy, mid-1960s score by Cy Coleman, sparkling lyrics by Dorothy Fields, and a hilarious book by Neil Simon, Sweet Charity captures all the energy, humor, and heartbreak of Life in the Big City for an unfortunate but irrepressible optimist. The production is the original 1966 Broadway (not the movie version) with such hit songs as “Big Spender,” “If My Friends Could See Me Now,” “I’m a Brass Band,” and “Baby, Dream Your Dream.” It runs April 17-May 3, 2026, at Lyric Stage Studio.

    Closing out the season is Louisa May Alcott's timeless Little Women, with a book by Allan Knee, lyrics by Mindi Dickstein, and music by Jason Howland.

    The musical follows the adventures of sisters Jo, Meg, Beth, and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested in a woman's creativity. Her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America. It runs July 17-August 2, 2026, at Lyric Stage Studio.

    Season tickets, which range from $40-$60, are available beginning July 1. Lyric Stage is located at 1170 Quaker St. in Dallas.
