The stories we’ll tell this season are of people finding their strength, discovering what they’re capable of, reaching for something more, and rising to meet whatever comes next.

They are the stories that inspire each of us to keep looking ahead at what is possible, to become something more magical than we ever imagined, and to rise. Together.

Because we believe there is always more ahead - more to discover, more to create, more to become. And this season, we’re ready to see just how high we can RISE.

RISE: AFDA’s 2026–2027 Theatrical Season.
