• Science Meets Spooky Fun: Get ready for a frightfully fun ride! Kid Frankenstein, adapted by Kathryn Schultz Miller, brings a fresh, family-friendly twist to the classic tale. Join science-loving best friends Frankie and Irma as they uncover the secrets of Doctor Frankenstein’s ancient book. What starts as a simple science fair project turns into a wild adventure filled with spooky surprises, quirky characters, and just the right amount of Halloween fun! Performances run every weekend in October. Tickets are now on sale! (Buy Tickets)
• A Supernatural Comedy: This fall, the afterlife gets delightfully complicated! Don’t miss Noël Coward’s classic farce Blithe Spirit, a razor-sharp comedy that’s enchanted audiences for decades on both sides of the Atlantic. When novelist Charles Condomine invites eccentric medium Madame Arcati for a séance, he gets far more than inspiration… he gets Elvira, his charming (and dead) first wife. As Elvira schemes from beyond the grave, Charles’ current marriage quickly unravels in a whirlwind of wit, sarcasm, and spectral sabotage. Performances run every weekend in October. Tickets are now on sale! (Buy Tickets)

• Support COS: As rehearsals begin for our 2025–2026 season, The Company OnStage is entering an exciting new chapter—one that also brings new challenges. For the first time in our history, we are paying market-rate rent for our performance space, and the financial impact is significant. If you are in a position to give, we invite you to make a contribution in support of our work. Your generosity helps ensure that we can continue producing meaningful, high-quality theatre that remains accessible to all. (Donate)
• Volunteer With COS: As we prepare for our 2025–2026 Season, The Company OnStage is seeking Hospitality Volunteers to support our performances. Volunteers assist with ushering, concessions, and box office operations, helping us create a welcoming experience for every guest. In appreciation of your time, volunteers are invited to attend the performance they support at no cost, pending seat availability. Interested or have questions? We’d love to hear from you.
