by Yasmina Reza, directed by Wilson Milam OCT. 1—24, 2010 This 90-minute thrill ride takes you into the most dangerous place on earth: parenthood. An innocent squabble over a playground incident becomes an all-out, fur-flying, hilarious brawl between two couples in this new play from Yasmina Reza (Art). God of Carnage stormed Broadway, nabbing the 2009 Tony for Best Play and earning knock-out reviews.
by Edward Albee, directed by Allison Narver OCT. 22—NOV. 28, 2010 Electrifying and heartrending, this portrait of three (yes, tall) women at different stages in their lives is "a dazzler...Worthy of mention in the same breath as Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and A Delicate Balance" (The Wall Street Journal). A young woman has been sent to sort out the finances of an elderly client, but it's more than money that gets put through the wringer as the older woman's life is laid out in all of its charming, vicious, and wretched glory. Winner of the 1994 Pulitzer Prize, Three Tall Women is one of Albee's most compelling works.
by Brian Friel, directed by Sheila Daniels NOV. 12—DEC. 5, 2010 August, 1936, rural Ireland. Step into the kitchen of the five fiercely proud Mundy sisters, a place for talking, laughing, and lively dancing—moments that defy the hardships of their daily life. Their brother, a missionary, has just returned from Uganda, and the sisters find themselves each on the brink of momentous change. Friel's Tony-Award-winning play captures a beautiful and exuberant sliver of these women's lives, a summer where love—and everything else—seemed possible.
by Laura Schellhardt, directed by Braden Abraham JAN. 14—FEB. 20, 2011 Truth: Before Charlotte's brother died, he kissed her. Legend: Everything Charlotte kissed from that moment on also died. Actress Renata Friedman brings an entire town to life in a summertime ghost story about a small-town girl with a lethal skill. Originally developed in Seattle, the show returns after a triumphant run at the New York Fringe Festival.
by Tarell McCraney, directed by Juliette Carrillo FEB. 4—27, 2011 The Louisiana bayou, West African mythology, and family interplay swirl together in this absorbing drama from one of the country's most exciting new playwrights. A wandering soul recently released from prison clashes with his straight-and-narrow brother. Yet even as they grapple with their own notions of freedom and tradition, they remain fiercely intertwined.
by John Steinbeck, directed by Jerry Manning MAR. 18—APR. 10, 2011 John Steinbeck's heartbreaking American classic comes to life in his own stage adaptation. Lenny and George—farm workers in Depression-era California—are trying to scrape together enough money to buy a house of their own. But when Lenny stirs up trouble on the job, George must choose between protecting his friend or staying the course towards his version of the American dream.
by Melissa James Gibson, directed by Braden Abraham APR. 8—MAY 15, 2011 Four friends fast approaching the end of their 30s test the boundaries of their relationships in this piercing, beautifully crafted new play. The decidedly un-romantic comedy centers on a New York poet and single mother and her fling with a married friend that sets the group into a tailspin. A huge hit Off Broadway, don't miss this West Coast premiere.
created and performed by Mike Daisey, directed by Jean-Michele Gregory APR. 22—MAY 22, 2011 Dubbed "the master storyteller" by The New York Times, the hilarious and razor-sharp Mike Daisey weaves together gonzo journalism, unscripted performance, and autobiographical tales that cut to the bone of some of the most captivating topics in American culture. He now turns his lens to Apple and Steve Jobs, asking the question, "How did one obsessive man change the world to his liking?"
