The Furman University Department of Theatre Arts has announced its 2025-2026 season, \u201cThe Seen and Unseen.\u201d<\/a> From magical musicals to razor-sharp comedies, physical storytelling to dance-driven empathy, the season reveals the stories we tell, the ones we hide, and the truths that live between.<\/p>\n

All shows take place in The Playhouse on the Furman campus. Season subscriptions are available for $40. Individual tickets for the three non-musical shows are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors, and $5 for students. Single ticket prices for the musical \u201cBetween the Lines\u201d are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors, $10 for students (reserved seats), and $5 for students (general seating). Single tickets go on sale two weeks before the show opens.<\/p>\n

\u201cA ClownShow\u201d
\nWednesday, Sept. 24, through Saturday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m.
\nSunday, Sept. 28, at 2 p.m.
\nCreated by the company and directed by Doug Berky \u201995<\/p>\n

In \u201cA ClownShow,\u201d Furman Theatre Arts brings total mayhem in this comically shambolic clown show crafted by the ensemble and designed to delight family audiences and the young at heart.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween the Lines\u201d
\nWednesday, Nov. 5, through Friday, Nov. 7, at 7:30 p.m.
\nTuesday, Nov. 11, through Friday, Nov. 14, at 7:30 p.m.
\nSaturday, Nov. 8, and Sunday, Nov. 16, at 2 p.m.
\nMusic and lyrics by Kate Anderson and Elyssa Samsel
\nBook by Jodi Picoult and Timothy Allen McDonald
\nDirected by Maegan McNerney Azar
\nMusic directed by Chase McAbee \u201912
\nChoreographed by Michael Cherry<\/p>\n

What if the story that understood you came to life? This enchanting new musical blurs the lines between fantasy and reality, offering a heartfelt reminder that stories can be more than escape.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Importance of Being Earnest\u201d
\nby Oscar Wilde
\nWednesday, Feb. 18, through Saturday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m.
\nSaturday, Feb. 21, and Sunday, Feb. 22, at 2 p.m.

A comedy so sharp, it still stings. Oscar Wilde\u2019s most celebrated play is a dazzling farce of mistaken identities, secret lives and far too many cucumber sandwiches.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanKind: be both\u201d
\nWednesday, April 15, through Saturday, April 18, at 7:30 p.m.
\nSunday, April 19, at 2 p.m.
