When does a toy become REAL?

Every child has that one toy—the one that goes everywhere, hears every secret, gets hugged a little too tightly and somehow becomes so much more than just a toy.
That’s the magic at the heart of The Velveteen Rabbit.

Swipe through for a peek into a world of imagination, friendship, love and a little bit of magic… then come watch it all come to life on the Tyler Civic Theatre stage!

Congratulations to the amazing cast, crew, creative team, and playwright Freddie Parks on the world premiere of When the World Ends. It takes something special to be the very first group to bring new characters and a new story to life—and we are so proud of everyone who helped make it happen.

And to our audiences: thank you for showing up, supporting original theatre, and being part of this play’s very first chapter.

Please help us give this wonderful cast and crew a BIG round of applause in the comments! 👏👏👏

YOUR SECOND 2027 SEASON REVEAL IS HERE!

Our “Your Seat Awaits” 2027 season continues with the powerful, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical, Next to Normal!

At first glance, the Goodmans may seem like an ordinary family—but behind closed doors, they are navigating love, loss, grief and the complicated realities of holding a family together. With an unforgettable contemporary score, Next to Normal is a deeply moving story about the lengths we go to for the people we love—and finding hope when life is anything but normal.

We are especially proud to present this production in partnership with Liberty Hall in Downtown Tyler and Next Step Community Solutions.

May 7th - 9th, 2027
Liberty Hall| Downtown Tyler

That’s two shows revealed… and two more incredible stories still to come! Stay tuned for another reveal next week.
