Thingamajig Theatre Company will lift the curtain on its 2025-2026 winter season with Terrence McNally’s Tony Award–winning “Master Class.”
Opening night arrives Friday, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m. and brings with it a Champagne toast and a unique opportunity to join the cast and creative team for a post-show conversation.
This is no marathon run. “Master Class” appears only a few weekends through Nov. 16 — blink and you may miss it. The dates fall Sept. 26-27, Oct. 10-11 and 17-18, and Nov. 8-9 and 15-16. Savvy theatergoers know that a performance this limited rewards decisiveness: Don’t wait until winter deepens to secure a seat.
At its center is Maria Callas. Not the operatic voice of legend, but the woman herself, teaching, remembering and cutting to the quick with an honesty as bracing as Champagne.
Played here by Laura Moore, Callas dominates the stage, her every recollection doubling as a confession. She is accompanied by Dale Scrivener as the long-suffering pianist Manny, while Ellie O’Hara, Samantha Luck and Trevor Brown embody the eager young singers who brave her critiques. Scott Morehead plays the stagehand who, like the audience, witnesses both the comedy and the heartbreak. The production is directed by Artistic Director Tim Moore.
“Master Class” is only the beginning. December will bring a fresh staging of “A Christmas Carol” (Barlow version) filled with holiday spirit from Dec. 12-27. In January, Yasmina Reza’s sharp-eyed comedy “Art” steps into the spotlight, playing Jan. 23-March 15, 2026. Together, the three works create a season that balances grandeur, tradition and wit.
Season tickets are on sale now, offering the best value and guaranteed access to every production in the lineup. To reserve, call (970) 731-SHOW (7469), visit pagosacenter.org or email info@pagosacenter.org.
