2011-2012 Season
ALL MY SONS
by Arthur Miller | directed by David Stradley
October 19 - November 6 2011
Joe Keller wants the American Dream. His son wants to marry the girl next door. His wife wants their eldest son–missing-in-action–to come home. An explosive secret from Joe's past, however, threatens to tear this "All-American" family apart. Set in the wake of World War II, this electrifying drama won Arthur Miller the 1947 Tony Award for Best Play and established his place as one of America's greatest playwrights.
"A commanding illustration of the power of theatre and a searing drama of morality and conscience that has as much to say to America now as it did in 1947." – Variety
A CAPPELLA HUMANA
Created & Directed by Kevin Ramsey
November 30 - December 18, 2011
A Cappella Humana is a musical celebration of our common humanity that explores the power and boundaries of the human voice. It blends innovative and uniquely arranged compositions from Baroque to jazz, from secular to sacred, from Broadway to hip hop, and so much more!
TIME STANDS STILL
By Donald Margulies | Directed by Bud Martin
Co-production with Act II Playhouse
January 18 - February 5, 2012
Time Stands Still follows Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent trying to find happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Theirs is a partnership based on telling the toughest stories, and together, making a difference. But when their own story takes a sudden turn, the adventurous couple confronts the prospect of a more conventional life…and everything changes—in a flash.
"A powerful drama...crackles with bright wit and intelligence."
– Charles Isherwood of The New York Times
CROWNS
by Regina Taylor | adapted from the book by Michael Cunningham & Craig Marberry
April 11 - 29, 2012
A young woman who moves down South to live with her aunt is given a lesson in "hat-titude" in this toe-tapping musical. From feathered hats to flowered hats, pillboxes to turbans, to hats for work and hats for church, there is a hat for every occassion, and a cultural and historical significance to them as well as "Mother Shaw" and her "hat queens" share in their stories. This soul-stirring musical demonstrates the handing down of culture from one generation to the next and celebrates the refuge, equality and healing that occurs in this place of spirituality.
"Warm, vibrant and winning" – The New York Times
