Adult Theater

The PBT Adult Theater Program is where your next act begins.

Step into the story. Take the stage.
Find your voice.

Purple Box Theater’s Adult Theater Program is a vibrant and inclusive space where creativity thrives and storytelling comes to life. Designed for pre-professionals, experienced performers, and those embracing theater for the first time in their adult years, this program offers a supportive environment that values both artistic growth and community connection.

Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, return to the stage, or explore a new creative outlet, our productions provide high-quality performance opportunities in a collaborative and inspiring setting. Participants engage in the full theatrical process—from table reads and rehearsals to live performances in our intimate black box theater, where every seat brings the audience into the heart of the story.

At PBT, we believe theater is for everyone, at every stage of life. Our adult performers bring a depth of experience, passion, and authenticity that elevates every production. Beyond the spotlight, our program fosters lasting friendships, creative confidence, and a renewed sense of play and purpose.

There will be a cold reading from the script

Get ready to set sail with your favorite Old Broads. Yes... they’re back again and ready for a Sassy Senior’s cruise to the Bahamas. Beatrice is determined to have her pick of ALL the eligible men on the ship... but Maude, fresh from her win at The Miss Magnolia Senior Citizen Pageant, plans on being her biggest competition. Wedding bells are ringing for Sam and Imogene... maybe. And Eaddy... well... she just wants to know what all the fuss is about up on the topless sun deck. Throw in a murder mystery, a fabulous drag queen and a crazy costume party, and you’re in for a laugh-a-minute, side-splitting laugh-out-loud night of fun.
