The Bob Marley Musical”.
According to Kwei-Armah, TLC stands for rebellion – they use their art to question, overturn, and amuse. The question is why a musical and why now? He believes their stories deserve to be sung; it’s high time we did so!
The musical “Damn Yankees,” a fresh take penned by Will Power, Doug Wright, and Lynn Ahrens, will be one of nine productions presented during Arena Stage’s 75th anniversary season in the years 2025/2026. Sergio Trujillo is set to direct this production as part of the celebratory event.

Also new is “Fremont Ave.,” a multi-generational dramatic-comedy directed by two-time Helen Hayes Award winner Lili-Anne Brown. Additionally, Christopher Chen’s “The Motion” is described as an intense examination of human nature, directed by Arena Stage Artistic Director Hana S. Sharif. Lastly, a one-woman show titled “A Good Day to Me Not You,” featuring Lameece Issaq and directed by Lee Sunday Evans, will also be featured in the season.
