Announcing Summit's 2025-2026 Season!
SUMMIT SEASON 9
We kick off our 25-26 season in partnership with The New Harmony Project for a new play workshop and public reading of HIRAETH by Jayne Deely, part of the second annual PlayFest Indy! In November, is our annual fundraising campaign ELEVATE, and in March of 2026, we will premiere REENTRY, an original one-act about incarceration and our 10th partnership with Dr. Sally Wasmuth. In May of 2026, we open our main production of the season, MS. HOLMES AND MS. WATSON APT 2B by Kate Hamill – the first comedic romp we have ever produced. That’s right, Summit is doing a comedy! And finally, we close out our season with a staged reading of the beautiful and challenging WALDEN by Amy Berryman.
UP NEXT: PLAYFEST INDY
Celebrate new plays in process with PlayFest Indy! Summit is partnering with The New Harmony Project to support a workshop and work-in-progress reading of HIRAETH by Jayne Deely. About the play: Kap is reluctantly back in Queens for Sam’s wedding—but tying the knot isn’t the only thing on Sam’s checklist. With friends Ish and Mel along for the ride, the crew dives headfirst into a weekend of ’90s throwbacks, childhood flashbacks, and a few emotional landmines. But as old wounds resurface and one very unexpected guest shows up, their nostalgic trip down memory lane takes a sharp left turn. The public reading of HIRAETH is November 8, 2025, at Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre.
Summit stands with BLM & BIPOC
Black Lives Matter.
Summit Performance Indianapolis stands with Black Americans and all Indigenous and other People of Color. We detest and denounce racism in all of its explicit and implicit forms. Summit’s values are to increase the representation of our country’s diverse population on and behind the stage, promote equity in the arts, connect with our community, and inspire community-wide dialogue around pertinent social issues, and we will continue our current efforts toward these aims. However, we recognized that we have not done enough, and acknowledge that racism and the horrific legacy of slavery continue to produce devastating consequences. We are seeking literature, education, and calls to action to further our commitment toward this critical cause.
