    Unbury Your Gays

    by Maxine Dillon; produced by Broad Theatre

    May 22 - June 7, 2025

    At a sleepover the night before their first middle school dance, Sawyer announces she will kiss a Boy while the chaperones aren't looking. A pinky promise leaves Carolina with no other choice but to help. Meanwhile, a 19th century Necromancer unearths a Corpse and her last secret as she digs up the truth of what they were to each other. Historians will say They Were Really Good Friends. Sweet and silly and sad, unbury your gays is a coming of age comedy that captures the tragedies of girlhood, friendship, and growing up—and the ways a desire for more can haunt us.

  • the 3 of swords from the Alchemical Tarot deck: three swords stuck through a heart floating in the sky; the heart has a single eye, which is weeping; a rose is watered by the tear

    Betrayal

    by Harold Pinter

    June 26 - July 26, 2025

    HPT’s next season show is a masterpiece from one of the greatest English language playwrights. We follow a years-long affair—but we follow it backwards in time, from the ex-lovers’ brittle meeting two years after the end, to the breakup, to confrontations, admissions . . . back and back to the dizzying innocence of the first tipsy flirtation. A riveting evening.

    Starring Juliet Robb, Brennan Patrick, and Steve Guntli. Directed by Austin Arts Hall of Famer Ken Webster.
