| Dead Man’s Cell Phone (Closed) By Sarah Ruhl Directed by Lennon Smith |
|
|
In our technologically-obsessed world of staying connected, would you answer a dead guy’s incessantly ringing cell phone at the next table in an otherwise quiet café? Jean does, and soon finds herself dating the dead man’s brother, sharing cosmopolitans with his widow, and rendezvousing with his mistress. Jean’s-never-to-be-imagined odyssey takes her to hell and back—setting the dead man’s bizarre life to rights…and resurrecting her own. September 11 -26, 2010 |
| Sunset Boulevard (Closed) Music by Andrew Lloyd Webber Book and Lyrics by Don Black & Christopher Hampton Based on the Billy Wilder Film Directed and Musical Direction by Matthew Mattei Choreographed by Robyn Tribuzzi |
|
|
She’s still big, It’s the pictures that got small. And now, Norma Desmond is ready for her close-up on our stage in Andrew Lloyd Webber’s most lushly melodic score. Sunset Boulevard weaves a mesmerizing tale of faded glory and unfulfilled ambition when this legendary silent film star has a fateful meeting with struggling Hollywood screenwriter, Joe Gillis. The consequences are passionate, volatile and breathtakingly spectacular. |
| November 6 – 21, 2010 (Preview on November 5th) "It’s a stunner!" – New York Times |
|
| Shadowlands (Closed) By William Nicholson Directed by Marilyn Langbehn |
|
|
In the 1950’s, C.S. Lewis, the Oxford professor and creator of Narnia, met American poet Joy Gresham. He was reserved – a content bachelor in his fifties. She was outspoken – a divorcee 17 year his junior. Their friendship developed into an unlikely but deep and abiding love – one which upended Lewis’ convictions about God and His plan for the world and revealed a vital truth: a heart awakened to great love is also a heart made vulnerable. January 22 – February 6, 2011 |
| Altar Boyz Book by Kevin DelAguila Music and Lyrics by Gary Adler & Michael Patrick Walker Conceived by Marc Kessler & Ken Davenport Directed and Choreographed by Jeanne Batacan-Harper Musical Directed by Matthew Mattei |
|
|
Altar Boyz is a foot-stomping, rafter-raising, sidesplitting, award-winning musical comedy about a fictitious Catholic boy-band on the last night of their "Raise the Praise" tour. These boys are five all-singing, all dancing heartthrobs from Ohio: Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham. With right harmony, irreverent humor and sinfully spectacular choreography, they joyously deliver a message of unity – ―there is not a star as bright as its constellation, no harmony in a single voice. |
| April 23 – May 8, 2011 (Preview on April 22nd) "An energetic crowd-pleaser!" – Variety |
|
| Blithe Spirit By Noel Coward Directed by Cornelia Thompson |
|
|
Good vibrations abound in our revival of Noel Coward’s supernaturally delicious comedy of two wives and a happy medium. When novelist Charles Condomine and his current wife Ruth invite a psychic into their home in order to gather material on the spirit world for his new book, Madame Arcati performs a séance with no discernible results to anyone—with one exception. Suddenly, Charles finds himself caught between wives, one live and one late…but not late enough.
