Confirmed change: Returning for its third season in 2026
The September 2026 production of the play White Rabbit, Red Rabbit has been announced as its third season. It follows the original production in early 2025 and the return engagement in May 2026, and will be staged at Seoul Arts Center’s Jayu Theater. Performances run from September 29 through October 16, 2026.
The season’s key change is also reflected in how audiences choose a performance. Although 24 actors are participating, only one actor appears onstage in each performance. As a result, audiences may see a different version of the same play depending on the performance they select.
Current status: General tickets open September 18 at 2 PM
General tickets open simultaneously at 2 PM on Friday, September 18, 2026, through NOL Ticket, Ticketlink, and Seoul Arts Center. Seating is divided into R and S sections, priced at KRW 60,000 and KRW 50,000, respectively.
The early-booking discount is 15%. It applies to tickets purchased from September 18 through September 27, 2026, with a limit of four discounted tickets per person. Anyone planning to book on opening day should check the seller, seating section, discount period, and ticket limit together.
Confirmed scope and impact: Check the date and the actor-specific performance structure together
Performances are scheduled for 7:30 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. On Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, performances take place at 3 PM and 7:30 PM. There are no Monday performances.
Some dates differ from the usual day-of-week schedule. On October 7, there is only a 7:30 PM performance, while October 9 and October 15 have performances at 3 PM and 7:30 PM. On the final day, October 16, there is only a 3 PM performance.
The participating actors this season are Go Young-bin, Kim Gyu-nam, Kim Ki-taek, Kim Dong-ha, Kim Ba-da, Kim Joo-heon, Kim Joon-sik, Kim Chan-jong, Kim Hi-eo-ra, Moon Seong-il, Baek Ki-beom, Baek Seok-kwang, Seo Hyeon-cheol, So Joo-yeon, Son Joo-yeon, Song Ye-bin, Yang Hee-jun, Oh Seung-hoon, Yoo Tae-yul, Jang Dong-yoon, Jeon So-min, Jung Min, Jo Han-chul, and Choi Ho-seung—a total of 24 actors. However, only one of them appears in any given performance. The official schedule should be used to cross-check both the performance time and the actor for the preferred date when choosing a performance.
The running time is approximately 80 minutes, depending on the actor, and the age rating is middle-school students and older. Audience members born in 2012 or earlier may attend, so the birth-year requirement should also be checked before booking.
Official upcoming schedule and open details: The script is received for the first time on the day of the performance
The major confirmed upcoming dates are the September 18 general-ticket opening, the early-booking discount available through September 27, and the September 29 opening performance. The production continues through October 16, with the number of performances varying by weekday and specific date.
The play is a signature work by Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour. The actor receives the script for the first time onstage on the day of the performance and completes the show through audience participation and improvisation, without direction or prior rehearsal. This format is connected to the season’s casting structure, with each actor presenting a different performance.
When booking, audiences can review the 2 PM opening time on September 18, the seat prices of KRW 60,000 for R and KRW 50,000 for S, and the 15% discount available through September 27 with a four-ticket-per-person limit. For later planning, the appropriate order is to select a date and performance time within the run, excluding Mondays, and then confirm which of the 24 actors appears in that performance.
