SEPTEMBER 24-27, 2015
Judgment at Nuremberg
by Abby Mann | Directed by Shannon Cochran
Starring Harry Hamlin and Alan Mandell
Abby Mann’s stage adaptation of his Oscar-winning drama follows a
US-led war crimes tribunal as it weighs the fate of German judges.
Hans Rolfe is a defense attorney for a fiercely independent jurist who
once called Hitler “ill-mannered,” is he guilty of heinous crimes
against humanity, or was he merely enforcing his country’s
sanctioned laws in the name of “national security?”
Judgment at Nuremberg is an absorbing probe of the ethics of
personal responsibility versus public duty.
Judgment at Nuremberg retains its power to move and provoke us.
– Time Magazine
OCTOBER 22-25, 2015
Steel Magnolias
by Robert Harling | Directed by Jessica Kubzansky
Starring Kate Burton and Jeanie Hackett
A close circle of small-town friends gathers in the beauty parlor
owned by Truvy. As the ladies prepare for the wedding of Shelby,
daughter of M’Lynn (Kate Burton), they exchange wisdom and
wisecracks about life and love. Steel Magnolias beautifully balances
laugh-out-loud moments with poignant emotional depth.
…a skillfully crafted, lovingly evoked picture of eccentricity in
the small-town South.
– Drama-Logue
NOVEMBER 19-22, 2015
American Buffalo
by David Mamet | Directed by Brian Kite
American Buffalo seethes with ambition and irony. Mamet’s gift
for storytelling and forging poetry from both the plain-spoken and
profane turns an ill-conceived scheme to steal a rare coin into a
triumph of dramatic art. In a junk shop, three men of different
generations plan their heist. But their fates, like the nickel’s worn image
of the beleaguered buffalo, may have been sealed long ago.
A play which actually improves with use . . . [revealing] more of
itself, shifted, modulated, grown. And that, for me, is a powerful
symptom of the theatrical masterpiece.
– The New York Times
DECEMBER 10-13, 2015
Jane Eyre
by Charlotte Brontë, Adapted by Christina Calvit
Starring Jared Harris | Directed by Marsha Mason
Charlotte Brontë’s landmark novel is brought to life in this
illuminating adaptation by Christina Calvit. Orphaned Jane
journeys from a harsh childhood to become the loving caregiver
of a child at the mysterious manor of Mr. Rochester (Jared Harris).
Jane is drawn to her enigmatic employer, but as dark secrets
emerge, she must choose between her newfound security and
the uncertainty of a life lived for oneself.
A Jane Eyre that streamlines the complicated plot while still
providing compelling glimpses of the psychological demons and
moral deformities haunting its lovers.
– Chicago Tribune
JANUARY 28-31, 2016
The Money Shot
Written and Directed by Neil LaBute
Starring Jenna Fischer, Gia Crovatin, and Jennifer Westfeldt
Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for aging
Hollywood stars Karen (Jennifer Westfeldt) and Steve that means
agreeing to a shocking contractual clause. On the eve of a “climactic”
day of shooting, they finally tell their significant others (Jenna Fischer,
Gia Crovatin) what’s to come. But what choice do they have?
After all, their careers need stimulation!
An insightful, bloodletting Hollywood satire.
– The New York Times
MARCH 10-13, 2016
Fathers and Sons
by Brian Friel, from the novel by Ivan Turgenev | Directed by Martin Jarvis
Starring Alfred Molina, Hector Elizondo, Ben Feldman, and Reid Scott
The epic sweep of Turgenev’s 19th century literary masterpiece
is brought to the stage by one of Ireland’s greatest living dramatists.
Fathers and Sons captures the ongoing clash of generations and
philosophies. Set in a Russian country estate, Friel’s powerful and
resonant adaptation examines the inevitable conflict between the
urgency of youth and the entrenchment of age.
When Brian Friel is on song I can think of no living dramatist who can
outclass him, and precious few who can match him.
– London Telegraph
APRIL 14-17, 2016
As You Like It
by William Shakespeare | Directed by Barry Creyton
Starring James Marsters and Emily Bergl
Love triumphs in As You Like It, Shakespeare’s joyous comic
adventure! Rosalind, arguably Shakespeare’s greatest female
character, is banished from court and follows her exiled father into
the untamed Forest of Arden. Disguised as a man for safety,
Rosalind’s great wit and good nature show through her male
trappings as she engages with fools and philosophers adrift in
the woods, and ultimately falls in love.
As You Like It is Rosalind’s play as Hamlet is Hamlet’s. She alone
joins Hamlet and Falstaff as absolute in wit and of the three she
alone knows balance and proportion in living and is capable of
achieving harmony.
– Harold Bloom, literary critic
MAY 19-22, 2016
The Mountaintop
by Katori Hall
On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated outside of his
room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis. What happened inside room
306 on the evening of April 3 is the subject of Katori Hall’s
The Mountaintop. Hours after King’s final speech, punctuated by his
immortal line, “I’ve been to the mountaintop,” the celebrated Reverend
forms an unlikely friendship with a motel maid as they talk into the
early hours of what will be his final day.
It is a relationship that is breathtaking, hilarious and
heart-stopping.
– The Independent, London
JUNE 23-26, 2016
God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton | Directed by Rosalind Ayres
Starring Geoffrey Arend and Christina Hendricks
Winner of the 2009 Tony Award®, God of Carnage is a brash and hilarious
exploration of human nature. After one 11-year-old is hit by another, their
parents meet to find a mature resolution. As the evening wears on, the
veneer of civility degenerates. What begins as protective parenting ends
as an excuse to let loose the primordial beast buried in each of us.
A study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct,
this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment with an
intellectual veneer.
– The New York Times
