Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl, Directed by Barbe Marshall
January 22-February 7, 2010
Eurydice retells the myth of Orpheus from the perspective of Eurydice, his wife. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.
The Underpants by Steve Martin, Directed by Frank Blomgren
February 26-March 14, 2010
Louise, wife to ruthless pragmatic government clerk Theo, accidently managed to drop her drawers at the Kaiser’s parade, thus becoming the talk of a thrillingly scandalized town. It seems that every man in Germany, except Theo, now wants to bunk up with her.
Suburb by David Javerbaum and Robert Cohen, Directed by Garrick Dietze
April 9-May 2, 2010
For all the books, movies and sitcoms that have either eulogized or vilified them, the suburbs have been largely ignored by musical theater — until now. Suburb is a musical that takes an insightful, witty, and nuanced view of the world of the lawnmower, the barbecue, and the mall, exploring Suburb’s rites and rituals with a four-person chorus and four main characters.
