Show #4 in our 2026/27 season reveal is DISTRICT MERCHANTS, by Aaron Posner! 🥰

Step into a bold and thought-provoking world with District Merchants, a striking reimagining that feels both timeless and urgently contemporary. Set in a place where past and present collide, this compelling story explores love, loss, justice, and the actual cost of doing business. As relationships are tested and lines are drawn, questions of power, fairness, and mercy rise to the surface in ways that feel all too familiar today.

FPT's 2026/27 season opens with the delightful HAY FEVER, by Noel Coward!🤩

Step into the delightfully chaotic world of the Bliss family, where the drama never stops, and the guests never quite know what they’ve gotten themselves into. Hay Fever is a sparkling comedy of manners filled with sharp wit and larger-than-life personalities. With hosts this outrageous, escape may be the only option… but will the guests make it out with their dignity intact?

Step back into film history! 🎬

Join us for two special screenings of the silent comedy classic "Our Hospitality" (1923), starring the legendary Buster Keaton, brought to life with a live theatre organ performance by Fort Wayne native Mark Herman. 🎶🎹

Packed with train chases, daring stunts, romance, and Keaton’s iconic stone-faced humor, this beloved film has been called “one of the best comedies ever produced for the screen.”

Mark Herman, an internationally acclaimed organist and 2012 Organist of the Year by the American Theatre Organ Society, will provide the live score, creating a truly unforgettable experience.
