Finding your way around the four seasons

How the Toybox, Trades, Hearthside and Limelight seasons are arranged, and where to begin if you prefer gentle or stormier shows.

Four themes, eight productions each

The Toybox Season stages puppets and playthings, the Trades Season visits workshops and engines, the Hearthside Season sits down to suppers and dances, and the Limelight Season is lit by glitter, nebulae and sunsets.

Where the gentle shows are

Hearthside is the softest season overall, with only two high-volatility productions. Toybox and Limelight each include a low-volatility matinee production, Menagerie Curtain Call and The Cassette Wall.

Where the drama lives

The Toybox Season holds four high-volatility productions, and the Trades Season includes Lead Type and Vermilion, the only show in the repertoire with the 2× to 10× applause ladder.
