It’s not hard to imagine why Taproot has chosen Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women for our 2026 Christmas play! It’s heartwarming, fun, and festive. Because the play also contains themes of war, death, serious illness, and grief, we recommend this play for ages 8+.

Just as Fannie Lou Hamer was a powerful woman, FANNIE: The Music and Life of Fannie Lou Hamer is a powerful piece of theatre. The production makes reference to the realities of her life and the era in which she lived, including discussion of gun violence, racial violence, sexual violence, poverty, and hate crimes. For these reasons, we recommend this production for audiences ages 14+. Taproot is proud to share this story of hope.

What could be better than tea with the Dashwoods?! True to the novel, Sense and Sensibility is a witty comedy of words. Because the story contains themes of death, serious illness, and heartbreak, we recommend this play for ages 8+. In true Austen fashion, romance, sisterhood, and delight ultimately triumph!

Taproot is thrilled to produce this new work celebrating family, culture, and food! Because the play contains mild profanity and depictions of racially motivated vandalism, we recommend this play for ages 12+. Patrons can expect to hear snappy dialogue and a meaningful exploration of what it means to be a family cherishing its culture while still moving into the future.

If you’ve seen Hercule Poirot on the Taproot stage, you know why we’ve chosen this new adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel! Because there are themes of death, crime, and descriptions of violence, as there are with most murder mysteries, we recommend the play for ages 8+. Patrons can expect a high energy production with physical comedy and theatricality!

This scrappy musical is sure to entertain! The script contains mild profanity and some mature themes including bullying, puberty, feelings of isolation, and parental pressure. Patrons might appreciate knowing that, in the original score, this musical includes the lyrics, “my unfortunate erection,” but Taproot has chosen to use the following alternate lyrics provided by the writers: “my unfortunate distraction.” We recommend this hilarious and heartwarming musical for audiences ages 13+.
