The cornerstone of Rubber City Theatre, our Mainstage Series brings the professional rigor of professional theatre to the heart of Akron. Featuring members of the Actors’ Equity Association, these productions represent the highest standard of theatrical craft. From reimagined classics to provocative new works, our Mainstage shows are designed to spark conversation, challenge perspectives, and provide our community with the world-class professional theatre it deserves.
Since 2020, our stage has seen a lot of changes—but our community has always remained at the heart of what we do. This season, we are officially rebuilding our core audience base, and we invite you to become a Founding Member.
