2025/26 SEASON

Pantochino is the only theatre company in Connecticut presenting a season of 100% original musical theatre. This year, three new musicals by Bert Bernardi & Justin Rugg celebrate family, community, perseverance and belonging.

OCTOBER 10 - 28, 2025

The glitz, glamour and romance of the Hollywood melodrama meets the hilarious and unhinged comic style of Pantochino! When the ugly duckling daughter of a wealthy Boston family comes out of her shell, she sails the high seas in search of love and romance. Any resemblance to the classic Bette Davis film is outrageously coincidental!

DECEMBER 5-21. 2025

A small town with a holiday namesake is the setting for this warm and wonderful new family musical. Santa Claus, Ohio is all about Christmas—every shop, every restaurant, every day all year long. But when a hot shot lawyer threatens to ‘cease and desist,’ the jolly old elf himself comes to the rescue! 100% merry, cheerful, feel good fun!

APRIL 24-MAY 10, 2026

Pure magic—Pantochino “panto” style! Bring the family to 1970’s Times Square and follow a boy in search of wonder and riches who stumbles upon a magic lamp, a Genie, and an unforgettable musical adventure for all ages. And, featuring special appearance by the Quintessence of Effervescence herself, Victoria Sautee!
