The Notebook

Based on the best-selling novel that inspired the iconic film, THE NOTEBOOK tells the story of Allie and Noah, both from different worlds, who share a lifetime of love despite the forces that threaten to pull them apart. “Full of butterfly-inducing highs and beautiful songs” (Entertainment Weekly), THE NOTEBOOK is a deeply moving portrait of the enduring power of love, and features music by singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson and a book by TV’s Bekah Brunstetter (“This Is Us”).

Chris Jones of The Chicago Tribune says THE NOTEBOOK is “absolutely gorgeous, not to be missed,” and The New York Daily News calls it “a love story for the ages.”

Mrs. Doubtfire
Jun 11 all-day
Spartanburg Memorial Auditorium

Mrs. Doubtfire (June 11, 2026)

Everyone’s favorite Scottish nanny is headed to Spartanburg in this internationally acclaimed hit musical critics call “wonderful, heart-warming, and laugh-out-loud funny” (Manchester Evening News) and “a feel-good, family-friendly comedy that delivers” (The Hollywood Reporter). Based on the beloved film, MRS. DOUBTFIRE tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. It’s “the lovable, big-hearted musical comedy we need right now,” raves the Chicago Tribune – one that proves we’re better together.

Football Football Football Football (or I Love Lave Dash)
Jun 12 all-day
The Warehouse Theatre

A professional football team is torn between two potential top draft picks: charismatic multiethnic finesse machine Lave Dash and salt-of-the-earth muscle monster Mervin Gufflinson the First. Making the crazy decision to draft them both causes a media meltdown that changes the game. And all sports. And the whole world. And the entire space-time continuum. Featuring an all-female cast and an all-star collection of fake moustaches and wigs, this world premiere is an uproarious comedy about America’s obsession with football, the joys of masculinity, and the consequences of having our idols do exactly what we want them to do.

WHY SEE THIS SHOW:  Tony Nominee (for HELL’S KITCHEN, the Alicia Keys musical), Pulitzer Prize Finalist, and writer of SHOOTS starring Jason D. Johnson for our Long Story Short program during COVID, Kristoffer Diaz turns his focus on a unique ability of his: getting to the heart of why people love a certain sport and the absurdity of spectacle. It’s a celebration of football and of the theater of football (a very theatrical sport). It’s a play in which people play dozens of characters all with incredibly dumb names. It satirizes the media’s insatiable desire to make every story the biggest, most incredible, world-changing story by giving it world-changing possibilities.

Kris Diaz is VERY funny with character-based dialogue and even funnier with the bigger picture: an ability to pierce through the hyper masculine sports entertainment world with alarmingly sharp wit. Do you love football? This is for you to laugh with. Do you hate football? This is for you to laugh at. It’s big, it’s silly, it will be like watching a marathon with six performers playing dozens of characters in increasingly absurd situations wearing increasingly absurd mustaches or hats or costumes or all three.
