Some of the world's most acclaimed theatrical performances will return to the WYO Performing Arts and Education Center as National Theatre Live brings the excitement and artistry of British theater to Sheridan through four unforgettable productions.
From powerful family dramas to sharp-witted comedies, the 2026–2027 National Theatre Live series offers audiences the opportunity to experience world-class theater without leaving Sheridan. Each production is professionally filmed for cinema audiences, capturing the energy and emotion of a live performance with an intimacy that even the best seats in the theater can't always provide. The result is an immersive experience that brings audiences closer to the action while preserving the excitement of live theater.
The WYO's four-production series features a mix of contemporary and classic plays, with screenings scheduled. Each show will begin at 6 p.m.
