2019-2020 Season

INTRODUCING OUR 2019-2020 SEASON

We are delighted to share with you our 35^th season of shows at Gateway Theatre. Taking you on a whirlwind tour across the globe, these dramas, comedies, and musicals move from contemporary North America, to turn of the century China, early nineteenth-century Newfoundland, and as far back as biblical times. This season was curated by former Artistic Director Jovanni Sy before he left Gateway, and in his selections, you will recognize many of the ways he has left a lasting impact on this theatre. 

We are particularly excited that this season traverses the world to tell the diverse stories of our country and our community. We hope you join us!
