George Washington’s Teeth / Desert Theatreworks

October 16 – 25, 2026 | Playhouse

Presented by Desert Theatreworks for the 2026-2027 Season

False teeth. False history. Real laughter.

Mark St. Germain’s delightfully zany comedy takes us to the sleepy town of New Bunion, New England, where the struggling New Bunion Historical Society is about to lose everything. Unpaid bills. Dwindling membership. And now the mayor wants to banish them to the basement of the senior center.

The three indomitable women who run the Society aren’t going down without a fight. And when a set of George Washington’s actual dentures surfaces in the unlikeliest of places, they hatch a plan that’s equal parts brilliant and bonkers — because if they can land those teeth, they might just save their museum.

Think The Golden Girls meets National Treasure, with a dash of small-town scandal and a spectacular amount of heart. This is a show about stubborn women, preposterous history, and the communities worth fighting for. It’s silly, smart, and surprisingly moving — and it’s exactly the kind of evening that reminds you why live theatre matters.

Bring your friends. This one’s going to become a story you tell for years.
