🖼️ Meet some of the faces behind the mischief!🪞

We couldn’t be more excited to introduce some of the brilliant artists bringing “Charley’s Aunt” to life! From beloved Core Theatre regulars to new collaborators joining the party, this group is already full of personality, talent, and just the right amount of chaos.

If you’re not familiar with Charley’s Aunt, here’s the premise: two university friends are desperate for a proper chaperone so they can spend time with the women they love… but when the expected aunt fails to arrive, a very convincing (and very reluctant) substitute steps in. What follows is a whirlwind of disguises, mistaken identities, unexpected romances, and enough ridiculous situations to keep everyone on their toes!

Our production transports this classic comedy to 1920s Dallas and the halls of SMU, where high society expectations collide with fast-talking schemes, quick changes, and a whole lot of laughter. 💙❤️🐴

More cast announcements are coming soon, so stay tuned as we continue introducing the wonderful humans behind the portraits!

Two students. Two secret romances. One missing chaperone… and a very unexpected “aunt.”

In this classic farce, two young men convince their friend to impersonate Charley’s wealthy aunt so they can spend time with the women they love — but when unexpected guests arrive and identities begin to blur, the situation spins wildly out of control. Our production, directed by James Hansen Prince, reimagines this beloved comedy in 1920s Dallas at SMU, where jazz-age charm, flapper flair, and campus mischief collide in a whirlwind of mistaken identities and outrageous schemes. Fast-paced, energetic, and delightfully absurd, Charley’s Aunt is the kind of comedy that will have you laughing, gasping, and maybe even knee-slapping along with the chaos.

Coming soon to The Core Theatre

To Kill a Mockingbird will stand as a defining chapter in the history of The Core Theatre. The American classic that opened our 2026 season became something far greater than a production. To Kill a Mockingbird sold out our house show after show because even 66 years later, this necessary story still challenges us with urgent questions, and calls us to empathy.

This achievement belongs to the extraordinary artists behind it. Our actors, creative team, and crew approached this work with care, integrity, and unwavering commitment, bringing depth and humanity to every moment onstage and beyond it.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every patron who joined us and championed local theatre. Your support sustains the work we do and ensures that meaningful stories continue to find a home on our stage.

From our Core family to yours: we are grateful, we are changed, and we can’t wait to welcome you back. 💚🐦‍⬛
