After over three years of performing at various stages throughout the city, the Globe Theatre will be back in its home at MacCorquodale Place for the 2024–25 season.
Jennifer Brewin, the Globe’s artistic director, said they’ll be back in the building by mid-October, with renovations being completed by opening night.
She also said the new building will provide the audience with a more comfortable theatre experience.
“We want to make it so that the seats are wider, there’s more leg space, there’s cup holders. So that people come in and really can just relax, and they know they’re going to be comfortable while they watch a show.”
The theatre will open on Nov. 27 with a retelling of the classic Peter Pan directed by Judy Wensel.
“In this version of the iconic story, Smee the Pirate takes the audience on an adventure ride through his life in Neverland,” read the brochure for the new season.
Peter Pan will break-in the new stage and will be followed by Women of the Fur Trade, directed by Yvette Nolan.
“Set during the height of the Fur Trade on the ‘reddish river’ and using modern language, Women of the Fur Trade shares the story of the ‘hot nerd’ Louis Riel and the women impacted by his cause,” described the literature for show.
Women of the Fur Trade is set to open on Feb. 5, 2025.
The Globe Theatre will also put on its own version of the Broadway hit Steel Magnolias.
“The warm and bustling home beauty salon of Truvy Jones is the heart of a small Louisiana town. A place where women share secrets and recipes. Where truths are uncovered, and hands are held—not just for manicures,” explained the new brochure.
Directed by Estelle Shook, Steel Magnolias will be at the Globe Theatre on March 26, 2025.

Finally, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Bring It On: The Musical will debut at the Globe Theatre on May 21, and will be directed by Brewin herself.
“Incredible flips, electrifying stunts, and killer dance moves created by national star choreographer Julio Fuentes, frame this high-flying musical set in the high-stakes world of competitive cheerleading,” is how the show is described by the Globe.
Brewin said it was difficult to choose which shows to bring to the Globe Theatre.
“There was a lot of agony … You wanted to get it right because, one, we’ve been away. What’s the mood of the world? What’s the mood of this community and this city? What speaks to some of the themes … I think the central thing was, what’re we good at? And I really looked at plays that, could in one way or another, sorta show off that we’re actually good when we get together.”
Tickets for the shows went on sale Tuesday.
