INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Repertory Theatre (IRT) is producing the heart-pounding action adventure The Da Vinci Code, co-produced with Cleveland Play House (CPH). Directed by Benjamin Hanna, IRT’s Margot Lacy Eccles Artistic Director, The Da Vinci Code is the twelfth production he’s directed at the Theatre. The Da Vinci Code will run from Sept. 23 through Oct. 18.
Based on Dan Brown’s 2003 bestseller and adapted with the blessing of the author, The Da Vinci Code live stage production brings all the excitement of the book to a “fast-paced, two-hour roller coaster of thrills” (London Theatre). Theatregoers will get drawn into the mystery’s twists and turns as Professor Robert Langdon and agent Sophie Neveu race to solve a modern-day murder by deciphering the past. Surprising questions and personal connections weave through the world of religious art and conspiracy, and audiences will be on the edge of their seat from its cryptic start to its shocking finish.
The Da Vinci Code marks the first of the IRT’s co-productions with other League of Resident Theatres members for the 2026–2027 Season. After the show premieres in Indianapolis, it will move to Cleveland Play House in January 2027. Co-productions elevate the nationwide prominence of Indiana’s premiere regional theatre, and ensure longer contracts for creatives and cost savings for theatres.
The cast comprises accomplished actors from both across the country and right here in Indianapolis, including Ryan Artzberger, Sean Blake, Jen Johnasen, Devan O’Mailia Mathias, and Eric Sharp returning to the IRT. Tickets start at $27 and are available online at irtlive.com or by calling 317-635-5252.
