Newly Available for Licensing – January 2026 (US)

New year, new shows! Check out these titles, newly available as of January from Concord Theatricals in the US.

Bleachers by Noah Haidle
(Full-Length Play, Dramatic Comedy / 2w, 2m + ensemble)
It’s high school football season in America! While the team plays under the bright lights, four tuba players stuck in the back row wrestle with everything that doesn’t fit into a halftime show: ambition, grief, friendship, faith, love and the strange cruelty of small-town “normal.” Equal parts marching band comedy and raw confession, this funny, ferocious and flexible play is built for schools and young actors to adapt, using your own school’s name, mascot, fight song and rivals.

Eternal Life Part 1 by Nathan Alan Davis
(Full-Length Play, Dramatic Comedy / 2w, 3m)
Space travel, talking animals and a state-of-the-art home await an American family in their future. But when that future includes the promise of immortality, this family must wrestle with the life that happens along the way. A contemporary fable about wealth, death, our relationship with the natural world, parents and children.

Grangeville by Samuel D. Hunter
(Full-Length Play, Drama / 2m)
Two estranged half brothers – one in Grangeville, Idaho; one in Amsterdam – reconnect virtually in discussions surrounding the care of their ailing mother. With his signature emotional breadth and depth, playwright Samuel D. Hunter expands on the brotherly estrangement narrative by integrating the effects of family trauma on spouses alongside the evergreen conversation of how adult children take care of their aging parents. A play about the fallibility of memory, the stories we tell to make sense of our suffering, and the complexity of forgiveness.
