Dead Girl’s Quinceañera

Sept 26 - Nov 1, 2026 in Goodman's Owen Theatre

Detective skills: unverified. Determination: unmatched.

FACT: Maria was last seen at her Quinceañera. FACT: The party ended early due to an unknown emergency. FACT: Maria has not responded to any messages in 36 hours. Now, her three best friends—armed with confidence, questionable clues and zero adult supervision—are on the case, racing against the clock to find out what happened. The pressures of Latine girlhood punctuate this joy ride through the power and pleasure of adolescent friendships—a comic thriller of secrets, sisterhood and solving crime.

Collective World Premiere with Barrington Stage Company and Hartford Stage.

Group Tickets: Now available for 10+, email Groups@GoodmanTheatre.org for information on select discounted rates and perks.

OUR 2026/2027 Season

Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is feel. For more than a century, The Goodman has created experiences that invite us to feel deeply, honestly and unapologetically. Stories that crack us open. Performances that reach past our defenses and tap directly into the heart. Here, joy is bigger. Laughter catches in your throat. Hope rises. This is where stories remind us what it means to be human.
