The Sixth Street Melodrama and Theater is proud to announce the shows that will be on the stage for the 2025-2026 season.

The season kicks off on July 10 with the return of "Huckleberry Havoc, or...The Villian is in a Jam". This show is being repeated this summer to help celebrate the 40th anniversary of Wallace's Huckleberry Festival. This melodrama tells the story of Miss Sarah Sweet, who is trying to find the missing huckleberry pie recipe that was taken from her dead father. Sarah meets hero Stanley Steadfast, villain Malcot Malicious, and Saloon owner Lucrecia Luscious in her quest to find the missing recipe.

The summer production will also include Kelly's Alley Revue, featuring once again Syringa Sal, Walla Walla Will, and accompanist Carl Rowe who will perform "The Good Old, Bad Old Days", the story of the first ten years of the Silver Valley's hardrock mining district through story and song.

Shows this summer will be Thursdays through Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. There will be 20 shows, with the final show on Sunday, August 20th.

All tickets for the summer melodrama are $12.

In November, "Escanaba in da Moonlight" is returning to the Sixth Street stage. The Soady family gathers at their Upper Peninsula deer camp for the opening day of deer season, and Reuben Soady, known as the "oldest Soady in the history of the Soadys never to bag a buck," is determined to finally get his buck.

Opening night is November 7 at 7 p.m., with shows running Fridays and Saturdays at 7 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through November 23.

This year's Christmas at Sixth Street production will be "It's a Wonderful Life: Live Radio Play". The play follows the familiar narrative of George Bailey, an idealistic man who, on Christmas Eve, is on the verge of despair and considers ending his life.

The play is presented as a live radio broadcast from a 1940s radio studio, complete with microphones, sound effects, and period costumes. The script is read on stage, and performers may portray more than one character. A small cast of actors embodies a multitude of characters from the story, including George, his family, friends, and even his guardian angel, Clarence.

This show will be one weekend only, December 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. and December 14 at 2 p.m.
