SUmmer Mainstage 2026

The Hangar Theatre’s 2026 Mainstage season features three Tony Award-winning shows.

This lineup will make you feel big feels and laugh big laughs as they dazzle you with unforgettable music and outstanding performances. Join us this summer!

Fun Home

June 18–27, 2026

Music by Jeanine Tesori
Book and Lyrics by Lisa Kron
Based on the Graphic Novel by Alison Bechdel

Winner of five 2015 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book
Finalist for the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Drama

In this emotionally charged musical, Alison moves through time to visit her childhood, college years, and early adulthood–unravelling her own coming-of-age and coming-out story while trying to make sense of the twisty, layered relationship she has with her father and their shared hometown. Based on the best-selling graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel, Fun Home features a soaring score by Jeanine Tesori that ranges from rousing 70s pop to wistful, shimmering ballads and a witty, heartfelt book by Lisa Kron.

“This extraordinary musical…pumps oxygenating fresh air into Broadway.” The New York Times

“A beautiful heartbreaker of a musical…Fun Home finds a shining clarity that lights up the night.” —The New York Times

Dear Evan Hansen

July 9–18, 2026

Book by Steven Levenson
Music and Lyrics by Benj Pasek & Justin Paul

Winner of six 2017 Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Original Score and Best Book

Meet Evan Hansen: a sensitive 17-year-old who has spent his life feeling like he’s on the outside looking in. But when a tragedy upends his community, he is thrust into the center of a rapidly evolving controversy and given the opportunity of a lifetime – the chance to be somebody else. As his carefully constructed web of lies starts to come undone, Evan must decide just how much he’s willing to risk for the connection he so desperately craves – and whether the cost of fitting in is more than he can bear.

“One of the most remarkable shows in musical-theater history” —The Washington Post

Eureka Day

July 25–August 2, 2026
By Jonathan Spector

Winner of the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival

At Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, all decisions are made by consensus, diversity of opinion is valued, and vaccinations are a personal matter. But when a mumps outbreak hits the school, tensions rise, truth becomes subjective, and community conversations reach a hilarious fever pitch. Now the board of directors must confront the central question of our time: how do you find consensus when you can’t agree on the facts? A remarkably relevant comedy for our times.

“A hilarious poison-pen satire”—The New York Times

“Irresistibly hilarious”—The Washington Post

This summer we’ll also be offering two season add-ons.

These unique experiences will make our 2026 season even more robust and expansive in its storytelling.

Brassquatch: The Fall Creek Brass Band Musical!

July 27, 2026 

Music composed by Alec Staples, Lyrics by Becca Blackmore and Alec Staples
Book by Becca Blackmore
Conceived by Alec Staples, Sarah Plotkin, Becca Blackmore and the Fall Creek Brass Band.

A New Mythical Adventure from the Fall Creek Brass Band!

The Fall Creek Brass Band is creating an original musical. Step into the hidden world of the Brassquatch, a legendary forest-dwelling community with a sound as big as their footprints. When our young hero fails his coming-of-age ritual, he’s thrust into an unexpected journey to discover who he is, where he belongs, and what it truly means to find your voice.

Blending New Orleans-style brass, gospel, pop, and musical theatre, Brassquatch: The Fall Creek Brass Band Musical! will bring a funky, joyful sound to the stage, powered by the live energy of the Fall Creek Brass Band.

Resilience

August 8–9, 2026

by Samite

Beautiful, powerful, and personal, Resilience is a solo show with music that combines the urgency of now with a timeless story of healing. Internationally recognized musician, humanitarian, and artist Samite tells the story of his life–from escaping the nightmare of 1980s Uganda to healing others with his music. This inspiring performance, written and performed by multi-instrumentalist and powerful storyteller Samite, will remind you of the hopeful and transformative power of performance.

“Blending beautiful traditional African music with stories of hope and tolerance…Music definitely heals – A must see!”Karen Wacks, Berklee College of Music
