Northwestern accelerates quantum research with NVIDIA technology

The 2025-26 season at the Virginia Wadsworth Wirtz Center for the Performing Arts at Northwestern University’s Evanston Campus explores themes of resilience and resistance.
“Each show is distinct, but one theme that weaves through all of them is their celebration of individual courage in the face of systems and institutions that would seek to diminish their characters’ humanity,” said Tanya Palmer, artistic director of the Wirtz Center and assistant dean of Northwestern’s School of Communication.
The season kicks off in October. Imagine U, Northwestern’s theater for young audiences, presents “Doctor De Soto” based on the well-known children’s book written by William Steig. “The Addams Family – A Musical Comedy” is the Wirtz Center’s fall musical offering in November.
Flex passes and individual tickets are on sale now. The $130 Flexpass can be redeemed for six tickets to any production in any combination during the 2025-26 season.
Tickets can be purchased from the Wirtz Center website by calling 847-491-7282 or by visiting the Wirtz Center box office located in the lobby of the Ethel M. Barber Theater, 30 Arts Circle Drive on Northwestern’s Evanston campus.
