September 5-14, 2025

Wickedly funny and surprisingly profound, Stephen Karam’s Speech & Debate is a sharp, smart comedy that dives headfirst into the awkward, angsty world of adolescence—and the fierce need to be heard. When three misfit teens in Salem, Oregon, discover a scandal involving one of their teachers, they form an unlikely alliance through their school’s speech and debate team. What starts as a mission for justice quickly spirals into a wild, witty rollercoaster of secrets, identity, and the power of speaking your truth. With razor-sharp dialogue and a deeply human heart, Speech & Debate is a bold, timely play that’s as hilarious as it is heartfelt. Come see why Stephen Karam is one of the most exciting voices in American theater—this is one debate you won’t want to miss.
