MILL HALL – The highly anticipated 63rd Season of Millbrook Playhouse, Central Pennsylvania’s premier professional summer stock theater, was recently announced in a press release.

With over six decades of tradition, the 2026 lineup promises an exhilarating experience with mainstage musicals, intimate cabaret productions, and high-voltage special events, the press release said.

“As an artistic director for a regional theatre in a rural town, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing the blend of local youth, actors making their professional debuts, and seasoned veterans all sharing one stage,” said David Leidholdt, Millbrook’s producing artistic director.

A Season of storytelling

The 2026 season kicks off with a thrilling highlight this week, as the Uptown Music Collective will perform on Friday and Saturday. Performing “Back To The Garage: Songs That Rocked The 2000s,” UMC will provide the perfect high-energy start to Millbrook’s summer festivities.
