Time After Time
Tuesday, January 27, 2026, 7:00 PM
A son discovers his father keeps a monumental secret. What it is unfolds on stage. This intimate, heart-stirring story explores what happens when someone gets the chance to revisit moments from the past — and maybe alter the future. It’s about human choices, the weight of love and loss, and learning to treasure the everyday. Gentle, wry, melancholic, and grounded in the idea that life’s magic isn’t fixing the past, but living the present. Not recommended for under 16s.
American Comedy
Wednesday, January 28, 2026, 7:00 PM
New York, 1938. Aboard the luxury ship La Paz en route to Monte Carlo, a workaholic, sour young businesswoman collides with a charming adventurer. The deck fills with outsized characters: Tony’s degenerate money-aristocrat fiancé, a brutal wife and her terrorized husband, a hesitant secretary transformed twice by a Tibetan singing bowl, and Tony’s unstoppable mother determined to look at least ten years younger than her daughter. Everyone’s fleeing something — or chasing someone. Big money’s at stake, hearts become toys, and swing music rages across the ocean liner, channeling the brightest golden era of jazz.
Revived from its former smash run, back since 2025 at Veres 1 Theatre (Veres 1 Színház). Based on Károly Aszlányi’s comedy, with libretto and lyrics by Attila Lőrinczy and music by Bálint Bársony, the Artisjus and Fonogram-winning composer and saxophonist. Brimful of humor from start to finish, newly directed by Károly Peller.
