Summit's 2026-2027 Season!
SUMMIT SEASON 10
We cannot believe we’re saying this, but we’ve reached our 10TH SEASON at Summit Performance Indianapolis! Ten incredible seasons of the women-focused theatre YOU asked for, right here in the heart of Indy. And we are thrilled to announce our lineup of productions and programs at the Phoenix Theatre Cultural Centre, Summit’s long-time home.
In November, we kick things off with New Plays Indy for Bad Things and our third partnership with The New Harmony Project!
In the spring, through the generous support of Arts Midwest we join the NEA Big Read to celebrate a resonant and timely novel, House on Mango Street.
In June, we open our mainstage production: Swing State by Rebecca Gilman—and we have some very exciting announcements about this striking play coming soon.
In August, we conclude the season with our newest community conversation one-act, Seeking Asylum. Another partnership with Dr. Sally Wasmuth and the IU Indianapolis School of Health and Human Sciences, this brand-new play platforms voices from our very own community on a subject much too close to home.
Tickets on sale soon, so be sure to follow us on social media to catch the latest updates about this monumental season!
Summit Performance Indianapolis: 10 years strong. Rooted & Reaching.
Summit stands with BLM & BIPOC
Black Lives Matter.
Summit Performance Indianapolis stands with Black Americans and all Indigenous and other People of Color. We detest and denounce racism in all of its explicit and implicit forms. Summit’s values are to increase the representation of our country’s diverse population on and behind the stage, promote equity in the arts, connect with our community, and inspire community-wide dialogue around pertinent social issues, and we will continue our current efforts toward these aims. However, we recognized that we have not done enough, and acknowledge that racism and the horrific legacy of slavery continue to produce devastating consequences. We are seeking literature, education, and calls to action to further our commitment toward this critical cause.
