The season kicks off in October with Michael Chepiga’s Getting and Spending, followed by Jason Robert Brown’s cult-favorite musical The Last Five Years in December. Kicking off the new year in February 2026 is Jaclyn Backhaus’ physical comedy Men on Boats. Closing out the season in May is a brand new take on Shakespeare’s Macbeth like you’ve never seen it before: Ricky W. Glore’s Fleetwood Macbeth.

About The 2025-26 Season

Season Tickets are the most cost-efficient way to experience Flashback year round – and guarantee you get special priority to choose the best seat in the house. Not able to commit to four shows this year? Not to worry! This year, FbTC introduces a 2-show option, where you choose which 2 shows you want to see this season, while still enjoying a discounted rate.

In her season statement, Sommer Schoch primes audiences for the range of experiences this season has to offer: “This season includes a range of material that I hope will challenge you in many different ways: from personal and intimate shows like Getting and Spending to broad physical theater selections like Men on Boats, this season is sure to give you a range of options that will delight and entertain you…as well as make you think. Being open to new stories and styles is what I hope will bring you back (to Flashback) for more.”

“I find audience members often have different favorites each season, and sometimes they are surprised about which show they ended up loving. You never know which show will have the character you recognize, the story you’ve lived, or the moment that touches your soul.” says Schoch,  “And every show this season touches my heart in one way or another. It is a very personal season that asks us to be vulnerable, to take care of ourselves and one another, and to be open to new experiences.”

Directed by Sommer Schoch
Flashback Theater Co.

A brilliant and beautiful investment banker makes illegal profits of eighteen million dollars from insider trading and uses it to build housing for the homeless. Shortly before her trial, she ferrets out the foremost criminal attorney of the era to persuade him to abandon his retirement in a Kentucky monastery to defend her. This play is about them: their struggles with themselves, with each other, with the law and with her unusual defense.

The Last Five Years

by Jason Robert Brown
December 11-21, 2025
Directed by Billy Christopher Maupin
Somerset First United Methodist Church

Over the course of five years, two twenty-something working artists fall in and out of love in New York City. In this intimate and emotionally powerful musical, both are given the chance to share their side of the story. Cathy tells her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their bittersweet wedding in the middle of the show. 

Men on Boats

By Jaclyn Backhaus
February 12-22, 2026
Directed by Jade Ellis
Stoner Little Theater

In this mostly true tale of American expedition, a one-armed captain and a crew of insane yet loyal crew members set out to chart the course of the Colorado River…with a twist. Told by a historically Inaccurate cast of women, this 90 minute comedy is a rip-roaring adventure that encourages us to think about who gets to write our Nation’s history. 

Fleetwood Macbeth

by Ricky W. Glore
May 14-24, 2026
Directed by Julie Chereson & Sommer Schoch
The Virginia

It’s the 1970s, and one man, “The King”, rules the airwaves in the coveted position of disc jockey at WS 103.5 “The Shakes.” However, his fellow radio station employees feel it’s time for a change in leadership. Mac’s girlfriend Lady is certain he has the talent to do it, if he can only find the guts to do whatever it takes to seize the throne. Featuring an outstanding lineup of Fleetwood Mac hits – you’ve never seen Shakespeare’s Macbeth like this before!
