    It's some of the best scheduling ever to have Frozen playing in Texas during August. Like, we just really needed that, you know?

    But there's more than just ice princesses this month! There are regular princesses, princes, dukes, Mormons, vampires, and a dude named Josh, all onstage in air-conditioned theaters and ready to entertain you.

    In order of start date, here are nine local shows to watch this month:

    Crowns of Power: Henry IV
    Junior Players, August 1-6
    Set in a kingdom plagued with rebellion, treachery, and shifting alliances in the period following the deposition of King Richard II, the two parts of Henry IV focus especially on the development of Prince Hal (later Henry V) from wastrel to ruler rather than on the title character. Produced in collaboration with Shakespeare Dallas.

    The Book of Mormon
    Broadway Dallas, August 1-6
    This nine-time Tony Award-winning Best Musical is an outrageous comedy that follows the misadventures of a mismatched pair of missionaries, sent halfway across the world to spread the Good Word.

    As You Like It
    Fair Assembly, August 3-13
    “All the world’s a stage,” and when at court, Celia and Rosalind know their parts. But when the two young cousins are unexpectedly thrust into exile in the Forest of Arden, the disguises they adopt allow the women to write roles of their own. Far from the death sentence intended by the usurping Duke Frederick, banishment into the Forest of Arden becomes an opportunity for rebirth — a place for the exiled to discover themselves, find (and test) true love, and ultimately seek redemption us adventure for all those daring enough to venture into the forest.

    Let the Right One In
    Outcry Theatre, August 4-13
    Oskar is a bullied, lonely teenage boy living with his mother on a housing estate at the edge of town when a spate of sinister killings rock the neighborhood. Eli is the young girl who has just moved in next door. She doesn’t go to school and never leaves the flat by day. Sensing in each other a kindred spirit, the two become devoted friends. What Oskar doesn’t know is that Eli has been a teenager for a very long time.

    The Homecoming
    Auriga Productions, August 4-26
    One of Pinter’s earliest plays is a comedy of menace, concerning a family of four men living all together but who are all alone. When the eldest son returns home after six years with a wife whom no one else has met, the family must come to grips with the hidden truths that have infected their relationships for decades.

    Frozen
    Broadway at the Bass, August 10-20
    Frozen features the songs you know and love from the original Oscar-winning film, plus an expanded score with a dozen new numbers by the film’s songwriters, Oscar winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez and EGOT winner Robert Lopez. An unforgettable theatrical experience filled with sensational special effects, stunning sets and costumes, and powerhouse performances, Frozen is everything you want in a musical.

    One Year in Egypt
    Bishop Arts Theatre Center, August 10-27
    This world premiere details the journey of writer and Oak Cliff native Camika Spencer during her first time abroad as a middle school ESL teacher in Al Giza, Egypt, the same year she turned 50.

    Cinderella
    Lyric Stage, August 24-27
    Lyric Stage opens its 30th season with the 2013 adaptation of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella that had a successful run on Broadway, one of the last remains R & H titles that Lyric has yet to produce. Rodgers and Hammerstein’s enchanting adaptation of the timeless fairytale brings new spirit to the story of a young woman forced into servitude who dreams of – and achieves – a better life. The musical features some of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s most beloved songs, including “In My Own Little Corner,” “Impossible,” and “Ten Minutes Ago.”

    The Other Josh Cohen
    Circle Theatre, August 24-September 16
    Josh Cohen just can’t get a break. He’s single, broke, and to top it all off, his apartment’s been robbed of everything but a Neil Diamond CD. Soon though, his luck takes a turn when a mysterious envelope arrives that changes his life forever. Thus begins the hilarious and quirky romantic comedy about a good guy caught in a lifelong battle with bad luck, making its regional premiere at Circle Theatre.

    Dallas' Theatre Three gets provocative with 2026-2027 season productions

    The 2026-2027 season from Theatre Three will feature seven bold productions.

    The 2026-2027 season for Dallas' Theatre Three will feature a lineup of seven productions, musicals, comedies, and solo performances that collectively explore identity, resilience, love, and the chaos of being human.

    Taking place in both the main Norma Young Arena Stage and Theatre Too spaces, the season blends iconic titles with daring new works, inviting audiences into stories that are as entertaining as they are thought-provoking, says a release.

    Opening the season on the Norma Young Arena Stage will be the groundbreaking rock musical Spring Awakening, featuring music by Duncan Sheik and book and lyrics by Steven Sater.

    Based on Frank Wedekind’s controversial play, the production (running September 10-27, 2026) follows teenagers pushing against the constraints of a repressive society as they navigate desire, identity, and the consequences of silence.

    The Theatre Too season will kick off with Doug Wright’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play I Am My Own Wife, running October 15-November 1, 2026.

    Performed as a solo piece, it tells the true story of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, chronicling survival, identity, and self-invention in the face of Nazi and Stasi oppression.

    The holiday season brings mischief and mayhem with GREMLINS! (mostly), a brand-new commission by local playwright Matt Lyle inspired by the beloved 1984 cult classic movie.

    Running December 3-20, 2026 on the Norma Young Arena Stage, the play is packed with dark humor and chaotic fun, promising a wildly entertaining theatrical experience where one small mistake leads to unforgettable consequences.

    Dear Jack, Dear Louise by Ken Ludwig, starts the 2027 portion of the Theatre Too season, running February 4-21.

    The play offers a heartfelt and humorous love story inspired by the playwright’s own parents. Through letters exchanged during World War II, two strangers discover connection, resilience, and romance across distance and uncertainty.

    In the spring, laughter takes center stage on the Norma Young Arena Stage with Neil Simon’s fast-paced farce, Rumors.

    Running March 11-28, 2027, the production features a glamorous anniversary party spiraling into confusion as gossip flies and lies multiply in a hilarious race to keep up appearances.

    Closing the Theatre Too season will be Miss Margarida’s Way by Roberto Athayde, running April 29-May 16, 2027.

    As Miss Margarida’s lesson unfolds, audiences find themselves implicated in a provocative exploration of authority, control, and complicity. The sharp, darkly comic satire transforms a classroom into a battleground.

    The season culminates in a major event: the regional premiere of Teeth, the bold and genre-defying musical by Michael R. Jackson and Anna K. Jacobs.

    Running June 3-20, 2027, the production is equal parts hilarious, provocative, and empowering. It is a coming-of-age story with a bite; exploring power, fear, sexuality, and self-determination in a way that is as unforgettable as it is unflinching.

    Committed to providing accessible theatre to the community next season, Theatre Three will continue to offer $10 T3Rush tickets for Thursday night performances.

    Students can also purchase $10 tickets to any performance with a valid student ID, or take advantage of $5 student rush tickets.

    Subscriptions are available for renewal now at Theatre3Dallas.com. New subscriptions will be available on June 15. Single tickets and Flex Passes will be available August 3.

    For more information, call 214-871-3300 x1 or e-mail at BoxOffice@t3dallas.org.
