The Pursuit of…

meaning, truth, victory, identity – that’s what we’re exploring this 24/25 season. We’re all searching for something, and the shows this season will give us an opportunity to share in the search together.

The Furman Theatre is a laboratory of multi-hyphenate globalized theatrical exploration. You’re on a path to support student-centered work that charts a journey toward empathy and understanding through the shared human experience this season.

You have a seat with us at Furman. From ghost stories to poignant comedies, each production will lead us deeper into the quest for understanding the thoughts, ideas, and people around us. Whether you come for entertainment or conversation, we hope you’ll join us this season.

Single tickets go on sale for each show 2-weeks prior to opening. A Season Flex Pass is available for the 24/25 season starting August 1.
