The Straz Center’s 'REIMAGINE' Season Brings Bold New Works to Tampa

Tampa’s Straz Center for the Performing Arts is setting the stage for a groundbreaking year with its REIMAGINE Season, a lineup that celebrates bold storytelling, fresh perspectives, and dynamic artistry. With an emphasis on innovation and inclusivity, the upcoming season will feature a mix of world premieres, reimagined classics, and immersive performances that push the boundaries of live theatre.

At the heart of the REIMAGINE Season is a commitment to uplifting new voices and redefining the theatrical experience. One of the most anticipated productions is a world premiere play developed in partnership with emerging playwrights, showcasing the power of local storytelling on a national stage. This marks a major milestone for Tampa’s theatre scene, further cementing the city’s reputation as a hub for new and daring work.

In addition to new works, audiences can expect fresh interpretations of beloved classics, breathing new life into familiar stories with innovative staging and diverse casting. The season will also include multidisciplinary collaborations, blending theatre with dance, music, and visual art to create productions that are as visually stunning as they are emotionally resonant.

Another major focus of the season is accessibility. The Straz Center is expanding its pay-what-you-can ticket options, hosting community engagement events, and offering behind-the-scenes experiences to deepen audience connection with the work onstage. By making theatre more inclusive, the Straz is ensuring that the power of storytelling reaches more people than ever before.

As Tampa’s arts scene continues to thrive, the REIMAGINE Season is a bold step forward, proving that the Straz Center isn’t just bringing world-class theatre to the city—it’s shaping the future of the art form itself.
