Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) has announced its 2027 spring season at Spa Little Theater. This diverse programming announcement marks an exciting new chapter for SPAC as it officially reopens following a historic $12 million renovation in partnership with New York State Parks.
The season opens March 5 with a special celebratory performance Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center (CMS), SPAC’s resident company, which will feature CMS Artistic Directors Wu Han and David Finckel. Additionally, the New York City Ballet: On & Off Stage will have two intimate productions, marking the company’s first performance in Spa Little Theater. The Acting Company will also perform a fresh take on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Other acts include viral tap dance sensation Chloé Arnold’s Syncopated Ladies, acclaimed indie-folk trio Darlingside, Grammy-nominated a cappella quartet Kings Return, Grammy-winning jazz musician Matthew Whitaker and his quintet, and pianist Inon Barnatan performing all four Chopin Ballades.
Beyond the stage, the season will also see an expansion of SPAC’s community engagement through artist outreach, school-day performances, and other educational opportunities. These ventures will bridge world-class artistic experiences with students and audiences across the region.
In partnership with New York State Parks, SPAC is currently undertaking a historic renovation of the Spa Little Theater. This is the 500-seat venue’s first major renovation since its construction in 1935. The updates will preserve the historic theater’s character and celebrated acoustics while enhancing accessibility, comfort, and functionality. Slate for completion this winter, the renovations will position the venue as a vibrant year-round home for artistic performances, educational programming, and community events.
“As the Spa Little Theater undergoes its historic transformation, we are excited to begin sharing what audiences can look forward to when this beloved venue reopens,” said Elizabeth Sobol, Chief Executive Officer of Saratoga Performing Arts Center. “Together, these connections and an extraordinary range of music, dance and theater speak to the exciting future of this space as a vibrant part of our community’s cultural life.”
Tickets for the 2027 spring Spa Little Theater season start at $29 and will be available to purchase on November 12 at 10 a.m. for members, tiered by level, and November 20 at 10 a.m. for the general public. Tickets for Caffe Lena @ SPAC: Darlingside will be available to the public beginning on November 13. Visit spac.org for details.
