Unity Theatre's 2026–2027 Season: Live Performance in the Heart of Brenham
One of the best things about living in Brenham is having a real, honest-to-goodness live theatre right in our downtown. Unity Theatre's 2026–2027 season is well underway, and the lineup ahead is one of the most exciting yet.
The season opened with Over the River and Through the Woods by Joe DiPietro, a heartwarming comedy about an Italian-American family in New Jersey. The Main Stage production ran June 11–28 and was a crowd favorite. Now the theatre turns its attention to a packed season of Main Stage shows, Studio Series productions, and the beloved children's summer musical.

Why Unity Theatre Matters
Unity Theatre isn't just a venue — it's a cultural anchor for Washington County. In a renovated warehouse on Church Street in downtown Brenham, this theatre brings professional-quality live performance to a community that might otherwise have to drive to Houston or Austin for the same experience.
The intimate seating means there's not a bad seat in the house. The productions are directed and performed by talented artists, many with professional credits. And the programming — ranging from heartfelt comedies to gripping thrillers to children's musicals — means there's genuinely something for every age and taste.
If you haven't been to Unity Theatre yet, the 2026–2027 season is the perfect time to start. Season subscriptions are available, which is a great way to guarantee your seats and support live arts in Brenham. Single tickets are also available for each production.
