Stage 212 in La Salle announces 2025 season

Stage 212 in La Salle announced its 2025 season, a tour de force of four blockbuster shows – two from Stage 212 veteran directors, and two from directors making their Stage 212 debut.

Winter swings in with “Tarzan,” the musical by Phil Collins and David Henry Hwang, based on the Disney film and Edgar Rice Burrough’s original tale, and directed by Ashley Hurst. Spring brings “The Miracle Worker,” William Gibson’s powerful and poignant Tony Award-winning drama exploring the volatile relationship between Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan, directed by Ellen Marincic. Summer shines when Kevin Alleman directs “Legally Blonde,” the fabulously fun musical based on the popular movie, by Laurence O’Keefe, Nell Benjamin and Heather Hach. Fall brings magic to the stage when Megan Cullinan directs “Puffs,” Matt Cox’s hilarious parody about the adventures of other people who just happened to be around while a certain boy wizard was attending a certain wizarding school.
