"Nana's Naughty Knickers" Tickets Now Available For Members

Tickes are on sale today to season members for our production of Nana’s Naughty Knickers, directed by Jane Peterson! Written by Katherine DiSavrio, Nana’s Naughty Knickers follows the young woman Bridget, who is planning to stay with her grandmother for the summer before law school starts. However, what Bridget sees as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite “Nana” in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Nana is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five-borough area! Will Bridget be able to handle all the excitement? Will her Nana get arrested – or worse – evicted? Performance dates for Nana’s Naughty Knickers will be May 14 - 31, 2026 at Chapin Theatre Company. Tickets on sale April 15 for the general public.
