OUR SEASON

Welcome to River & Rail's 10th Anniversary Season!

LITTLE WOMEN

ADAPTED FROM THE NOVEL BY LOUISA MAY ALCOTT

December 4 - 21

Our Christmas show, Little Women, will be a fresh, funny take on the beloved classic by Louisa May Alcott. With a modern spirit and deep respect for the original, the play adaptation brings the March sisters to life in a way that feels both timeless and new. Full of laughter, longing, and the kind of hope that defines the holiday season, Little Women is, perhaps unexpectedly, a perfect Christmas show. It celebrates generosity, togetherness, and the beautiful messiness of family.

THE OLD MAN AND THE OLD MOON

BY PIGPEN THEATRE COMPANY

A CO-PRODUCTION WITH PELLISSIPPI STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

February 12 - March 1

The Old Man and the Old Moon by PigPen Theatre Co. is a wildly inventive folk musical full of music, magic, and adventure for the whole family. When the Old Man leaves his job of filling the moon with light to search for his missing wife, he’s swept into a world of storms, sea monsters, and unforgettable characters. The story unfolds with incredible live folk music, theatre magic, and boundless imagination. From shadow puppets to rollicking sea shanties, every moment is packed with theatrical wonder. It’s a show that delights all ages and reminds us how far we’ll go for love.
 

EURYDICE

BY SARAH RUHL

April 16 - May 3

Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl offers a fresh, imaginative take on an old myth and incredible love story, told through the eyes of its often-overlooked heroine. After a sudden accident pulls Eurydice into the underworld, she reunites with her father—someone she lost long ago but never stopped needing. As she struggles to remember her life and the love she left behind, her father patiently helps her rebuild her sense of self. Meanwhile, Orpheus attempts to reach her with music and memory. With its inventive storytelling and quiet emotional power, Eurydice is a poignant, often humorous exploration of family, love and grief.
