Pulitzer recipients to bookend 2026-27 LWU Theatre season By Duane Bonifer Two iconic stories of the American stage are among the five productions scheduled for the 2026-27 theatre season at Lindsey Wilson University. In addition to David Auburn's award-winning drama "Proof" and the rock musical "Rent" by Jonathan Larson, Lindsey Wilson will present the musical adaptation of the classic children's story "The Secret Garden" with lyrics by Louisville, Kentucky, native Marsha Norman; John Cariani's new play, "Darker the Night, Brighter the Stars;" and the musical comedy "Sanders Family Christmas," a sequel to the bluegrass gospel musical "Smoke on the Mountain." All productions, which are open to the public, will be held in V.P. Henry Auditorium. "This season is full of energy and compelling stories that will engage audiences on several levels," said Lindsey Wilson theatre professor Robert Brock, who is also director of the university's theatre program. "It's also a season that will have a lot of opportunities for students who want to get involved with the university's theatre program."
