《立秋》是山西省话剧院建院50多年来投资最大、演出阵容最强大、制作班底最硬的一部具有历史性、教育性和现实意义的大型多场景历史话剧。
“五千年华夏文明看山西五百年中国商业观晋商”。《立秋》取材于中国近代商业金融业的发源地山西平遥票号。山西票号曾经富甲辉煌、汇通天下几百年，而到民国初期由于时局动荡、国运衰微，传统的金融业"票号"遭遇到外国现代银行业的严重威胁，“票号派”和“银行派”展开了一场较量。同时，两代人、两个家族之间的爱情婚姻纠葛也一波三折。
《立秋》深刻揭示了中国最早的商业经营理念“勤奋、敬业、谨慎、诚信”，而剧中丰德票号祖祖辈辈传承的祖训“天地生人，有一人应有一人之业；人生在世，生一日当尽一日之勤。”在当代的中国同样具有深刻的现实意义。
《立秋》主题鲜明、立意深刻、气势磅礴、感人泪下，并已进入2005年国家舞台艺术精品优秀参选剧目，自2004年4月27日首演以来已经公演60多场，所到之处，无一不引起轰动，被称为“新世纪中国话剧的里程碑”。
