THE HEIDI CHRONICLES Continues Vagabond Players’ 110th Season
Apr. 10 – May 3, 2026
Before hashtags and headlines, there was Heidi—searching for connection, purpose and a place in a rapidly changing world. This spring, Vagabond Players brings Wendy Wasserstein’s THE HEIDI CHRONICLES to the stage, directed by Lee Conderacci in her Vagabond Players debut.
In this sparkling and oh so relevant comedy, art historian Heidi Holland and her friends travel from the 1960s through the 1980s making life-changing choices relating to dating, mating and career paths. Will the brilliant and perceptive Heidi find the partner of her dreams? Do “women’s libbers” consider Heidi’s decision about having a child to be a betrayal? Can Heidi attain the fulfillment that she—and millions of other women—fought for? Winner of both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, The Heidi Chronicles remains a sharp, insightful and deeply relatable look at friendship, feminism and the search for meaning and continues to serve as a reminder of what’s been accomplished and how much remains to be achieved.
THE HEIDI CHRONICLES runs April 10 – May 3, 2026, with performances Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. And check out a special “Thursdays on Broadway” performance April 30 at 8 p.m. when all tickets are just $12.

For Ages 6 – 16

Join us in Summer 2026 for Camp BCS! When you sign up, your young artists will spend two weeks building community and establishing their own expansive creative toolboxes, all of which will help grow their confidence and offer them new and exciting paths to learning and knowing through arts.

We emphasize the development of a wide variety of skills and offer learning experiences in multiple disciplines of artistic expression so that our campers can present what they’ve learned in a showcase format. We work closely with our Teaching Artists serving as counselors (and the campers themselves!) to develop the material they feel best presenting, and we craft an engaging show to present to their loved ones and BCS Staff at the end of each session. Throughout their time at Camp BCS, students will practice artistic skill building through theater games and exercises, writing, visual arts, movement with music, STEAM workshops, and so much more.

Children ages 6 – 16 are eligible to attend. There are two 2-week sessions of Camp BCS, and each one has a maximum capacity of 45 campers. Campers are organized into smaller groups, or “villages”, organized by age range and grade. Throughout the day, campers move through class rotations with their village and will occasionally overlap with the two other villages for camp-wide programming and activities.

Summer 2026 Session Dates
Session 1: July 6 – July 17, 2026
Session 2: July 20 – July 31, 2026
