Ghost Light: A Haunted Evening of Music, Movement, and Stories
October 23-24, 2026
Every theater has its ghost stories. The tradition of leaving a single ghost light glowing onstage after the audience has gone home has long been said to welcome the spirits who still linger in the theater—and to remind us that every stage holds the memories of the artists who have come before. Inspired by this timeless theatrical tradition, Ghost Light invites audiences into an enchanting evening where the mysterious, the magical, and the delightfully spooky come to life through music, dance, and storytelling. From haunting melodies and playful Halloween favorites to chilling tales and unforgettable characters, this performance celebrates the wonder of the season with Lineage’s signature blend of artistry and heart.

After the Fire: The Art of Resilience
January 7-8-9-10, 16-17, 2027
In January 2025, the Eaton Fire forever changed thousands of lives across Altadena, Pasadena, and the surrounding communities. After the Fire is Lineage’s response—not simply as a performance, but as a community act of healing. On August 15 and September 12 (10:00-12:00), we will host two free creative workshops where community members are invited to share stories, movement, music, artwork, writing, photographs, and memories inspired by their experiences. Together with professional artists, composers, writers, and musicians—many of whom were themselves directly impacted by the Eaton Fire—these voices will become the foundation of an original multidisciplinary performance that honors loss, celebrates resilience, and reminds us of the extraordinary strength found in community.

30 Below: Stories That Connect Us
February 26-27-28, 2027
30 Below is an original, interdisciplinary performance work that brings together theater, dance, and music to explore mental health through the lens of reflection, memory, and growth. Centered on a group of individuals in their early thirties looking back on their teenage years, the show illuminates the often invisible struggles of adolescence - anxiety, disordered eating, identity, grief, and the quiet, persistent feeling of not belonging - and traces how those experiences evolve over time.
Tick, Tick . . . Boom!
May 14 - June 6, 2027
"Before Rent changed the landscape of musical theater, there was Tick, Tick… Boom!—Jonathan Larson’s deeply personal, exhilarating, and heartbreakingly honest portrait of an artist chasing a dream while racing against time. Set just before his 30th birthday, the autobiographical musical follows Larson as he wrestles with ambition, friendship, love, and the relentless question every artist eventually faces: What if I’m running out of time? Overflowing with the rock music, wit, vulnerability, and emotional intensity that would later define Rent, the show offers an intimate glimpse into the creative spirit of one of Broadway’s most influential voices."
