MAPA’s 2026-27 Season
From sweeping romance to zany comedy, from intimate storytelling to mythic spectacle, our second season in the Naylor Theatre is an unforgettable lineup of stories that celebrate transformation and reinvention, all united by characters searching for hope, truth, and belonging.
Aug 21–Sept 13
Inspired by the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov, ANASTASIA is a sweeping musical of revolution, romance, and redemption. Featuring a cast of extraordinary local talent, the show follows a courageous young woman as she journeys from the final days of Imperial Russia to the glittering streets of Paris in search of the truth about her past and to discover who she is meant to become.
Due to mature content, this show is rated PG-13.
Unlike the animated film, this production is not suitable for young children.
