PLAY IN VERMONT 2025

This season celebrates the Festival’s strength at bringing new stories to our audiences in southern Vermont and beyond. We are excited to keep the tradition of making world-class theater outside of New York City alive. This year’s main stage season will bring two brand new plays, stunning designs, and sensational artists to the Dorset Playhouse. I am looking forward to experiencing these heartwarming, funny, romantic, and shocking productions with everyone.
— WILL RUCKER, EXECUTIVE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

LOCALLY ENGAGED - NATIONALLY RELEVANT

Now in its 48th year, Dorset Theatre Festival presents a professional Main Stage season at the historic Dorset Playhouse in Dorset, VT, highlighting both new plays and classic works. Enlightening, entertaining, and inspiring audiences since 1976, the Festival’s annual celebration of great plays runs June through September and features top theatre-makers from around the country. Increasingly known for high-quality world and regional premiere productions, in 2017 the Boston Globe dubbed the Festival, “Just north of the Berkshires, a new destination for playwrights.”

 “a terrific summer of thoughtful, engaging, and inspired productions.
