Our 2026 season…

LAUGHING THROUGH THE STORM!

In a world filled with uncertainty, tension, and daily outrage, the need for laughter has never been more vital. At South Camden Theatre Company, we believe that humor is a powerful tool for hope and connection—especially during challenging times.

This 2026 season, we invite you to join us in celebrating the resilience of the human spirit through plays that reflect the many faces of humanity, each infused with wit, humor, and a touch of absurdity. Our theme, “LAUGHING THROUGH THE STORM,” reminds us that laughter is not escapism, but a vital act of endurance, healing, and solidarity.

Through a carefully curated lineup of satire, dark comedy, farce, and dramedy, our productions aim to illuminate truth, foster empathy, and bring joy to audiences of all ages. They serve as a reminder that even amidst chaos, the theatre can be a sanctuary for reflection, regrouping, and renewal.

THE REVOLUTIONISTS

By Lauren Gunderson

In celebration of Women’s History Month!

Four bold women—playwright Olympe de Gouges, assassin Charlotte Corday, ribbon-loving Marie Antoinette, and Haitian rebel Marianne Angelle—team up in a wild, feminist comedy set amid the Reign of Terror. As they plot, spar, and even murder Marat, they battle the rising madness of 1793 Paris. Blending history and fantasy, this sharp, irreverent play explores violence, legacy, activism, and sisterhood—part true story, part fiction, part theatrical fever dream—ending in a rousing song and a scaffold.

NATIVE GARDENS

By Karen Zacarias

Native Gardens is a comedic play by Karen Zacarías about two couples in a Washington, D.C., neighborhood whose differing visions for their backyards ignite a hilarious but poignant feud over property lines, class, culture, and the true meaning of the “American Dream”. The conflict escalates from a simple fence dispute between the nouveau-riche Latinx Del Valles and the established Anglo Butleys into a battle of gardening styles—native plants versus manicured lawns—touching on themes of racism, entitlement, generational gaps, and finding common ground.

SEX PLEASE WE’RE SIXTY

By Susan & Michael Parker

A holiday comedy!

Mrs. Stancliffe’s Rose Cottage B&B thrives on its loyal female guests—much to the delight of flirtatious neighbor “Bud the Stud,” who’s convinced they come for him. When a retired chemist unveils an untested libido-boosting pill for menopausal women, it sparks a hilarious chain of mix-ups. The resulting chaos sends everyone’s lives in surprising new directions.

ON OUR STAGE November 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 15, 20, 21, 22, 2026
