![[ID: square graphic for Sound Theatre’s 2026 production of The Wild Party, featuring a woman with short black hair and orange lipstick in a short orange flapper dress covered in strands of yellow beads and sheer tights held up by garters, sitting on the shoulders of two grinning men in suits, her head thrown back, one hand resting on the head of the man to her left, the other up over her in a jubilant pose. On a deep navy blue background, all three characters are stylized with turquoise-blue skin and are overlaid with a visually-busy textured effect. All text is rendered in the same yellow and orange as the woman’s dress: the title to the left in a 1920s-style font, while the text below it reads "Book, Music, and Lyrics by Andrew Lippa."

The Wild Party
by Andrew Lippa
Directed by Corey McDaniel
Music directed by Nathan Young
Winter 2026
Jan. 30th – Feb. 8th
Directed by Corey McDaniel and Music Directed by Nathan Young, this darkly brilliant musical is inspired by Joseph Moncure March’s once-banned Jazz Age poem—an intoxicating tale of excess, desire, and the unraveling edges of pleasure.
Set in the Manhattan apartment of vaudeville performers Queenie and Burrs, a group of burlesque artists gathers for one unforgettable night. When a mysterious newcomer enters the mix, the couple’s already-fractured relationship is pushed to the brink, sending the party spinning into a glittering, dangerous spiral of temptation and thrill-seeking.

You Will Get Sick
by Noah Diaz
Directed by Teresa Thuman
Spring 2026
Apr. 23rd – May 16th
A new play in second person and a recipient of the Kennedy Center’s Jean Kennedy Smith Playwriting Award.
The story begins with a loss of balance and spreads through the body, ultimately leading to the act of hiring a stranger to say aloud what one cannot bear to say: that you got sick. The play explores learning how to live within your body as you find your way home.
New York Times Critic’s Pick—that “tells its tale in the most lively, surreal and surprising ways imaginable,” as the Times goes on to say. “It flies by, feeling even shorter yet fuller than its 85 minutes.”
