This past year brought unexpected challenges — from the fire at Players by the Sea to navigating shared spaces and shifting venues and personnel— but ABET (All Beaches Experimental Theatre) is still standing. After 33 Seasons, we remain committed to producing bold, high-quality theatre that challenges, connects, and inspires our community.

​

Through venue changes, capacity setbacks, and every hurdle in between, our passion has never wavered. And as we move forward into our 34th season, we invite you to join us — because the show always goes on.

ABET is here to stay. And the best is yet to come.

Announcing our 34th Season:

​

A Moon for the Misbegotten
by Eugene O’Neill | September 2025
This searing, deeply human drama finds a tenant farmer’s daughter and a broken soul seeking redemption and tenderness under the light of a moon that shines on the lost. A masterpiece of love, regret, and raw vulnerability.

​

Stage Kiss
by Sarah Ruhl | November 2025
When two ex-lovers are cast opposite each other in a romantic melodrama, the line between onstage and offstage passion blurs. Ruhl’s clever and bittersweet comedy is a love letter to the theater — and to the people we almost forget.

​

Everybody
by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins | February 2026
A modern riff on the medieval morality play Everyman, this Pulitzer Prize-nominated work asks what it means to live, to die, and to love when faced with the ultimate mystery of life. Each night, actors draw lots to determine who plays “Everybody” — making every performance a one-of-a-kind experience.

​

Six Degrees of Separation
by John Guare | April 2026
Based on a true story, this sharply witty and unsettling play examines the illusion of connection through a conman who disrupts the lives of a wealthy Manhattan couple. A study of trust, privilege, and the human desire for meaning.

​

The Mad Ones
by Kerrigan and Lowdermilk | June 2026
In this indie-pop musical, a high school valedictorian sits behind the wheel of her car, trying to decide whether to follow expectations or forge her own path. A powerful story of youth, memory, and love — and the people who shape who we become.
