2025-2026
2025-2026 Season brought us all joy! We began with our Halloween horror double bill, Two Tales of Terror by Edgar Allan Poe: The Masque of the Red Death & The Tell-Tale Heart. Then, a musical celebration of what this season was about: A Concert Celebrating Joy in Times of Chaos, featuring many of your favorite Theater 2020 singers.
For the December holidays, we presented an original children's show by Playwright-in-Residence Lynn Marie Macy, DeLight Before Christmas, which we brought free to children of all ages in collaboration with the Brooklyn Heights Library.
Then we produced 2 main stage productions, both based on the ancient comedies of the Roman playwright Plautus.
In April we opened the Sondheim/Shevelove/Gelbart 9-time TONY Award winning A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at The Mark O'Donnell Theater in Downtown Brooklyn. Audiences and critics adored this show! [See reviews below.]
In June we opened our 75-minute adaptation of Shakespeare's A Comedy of Errors currently in production at South Oxford Space in Ft. Greene, Brooklyn.

A Funny Thing happened.... Program
"It's wonderful to see such a talented cast, wonderfully directed by David Fuller, wonderfully choreographed by Judith Jarosz... Any production of Funny Thing Happened is going to rest on whether or not you have a good Pseudolus. And Ben Schrager is quite wonderful! So this is a company worth knowing about... a very, very fine production, and my hats off to everybody!"- Peter Filichia, BROADWAY RADIO
“If Theater 2020 charged its audience a dime for every laugh-out-loud moment in this Brooklyn Heights production of A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, tickets would be much, much more than the current $40-$60 folks pay for a seat to this treat.” – Rob Lester, StageandCinema.com
“Wonderfully staged by Fuller, the production uses the stage, aisles, and theatre entrances to expand the world. Doors slam, identities blur, and the farce unfolds at a thrilling pace. This production ultimately delivers exactly what it promises. Anchored by the buoyant score of Stephen Sondheim, it offers a joyful escape that feels both necessary and earned. It is wildly funny, tightly executed, and a reminder of how good comedy can feel when it fully commits to the bit.” – Malini Singh McDonald, THEATRE BEYOND BROADWAY
"Forum now shines in a modest though captivating production." – Will Friedwald, The New York Sun
“The limited-budget production displayed great creativity. …impressive comic timing… Something for Every Bawdy… A Comedy Tonight!" – Barton Greenberg, NitelifeExchange.com
