THEATRE SEASON PERFORMANCES

Light Up the Sky by Moss Hart, directed by Sharon Andrews
Opens September 28

A brand new play opening “out of town” in Boston is Broadway bound! Or is it? Can a serious play with a heartfelt message bring in the big bucks or will is prove a dismal failure? Moss Hart’s Light Up the Sky is a hilarious face paced, biting but ultimately loving send up of the endless egos, anxieties and shifting loyalties of 1940s theatre folk.

The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe, directed by J.K. Curry
Opens October 25

Winner of the inaugural Relentless Award for Playwriting, as well as a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Drama, The Wolves provides a fresh look at the lives of contemporary teenagers, focusing on a girls’ indoor soccer team. “The scary, exhilarating brightness of raw adolescence emanates from every scene of this uncannily assured first play,” according to Ben Brantley of the New York Times.

Tartuffe by Molière, directed by John E. R. Friedenberg
Opens February 15

Tartuffe, an ostensibly pious con man cloaked in religious trappings, flatters his way into the home of a wealthy but gullible man and indulges his appetites at the expense of the exasperated family. Will he succeed in marrying his host’s young daughter? Will he seduce his host’s wife? Will he turn the family out of their own house? Congdon’s witty verse adaptation of Molière’s biting comedy is a scandalous treat.

The Caucasian Chalk Circle by Bertolt Brecht, directed by Cindy Gendrich.
Opens April 5

Mutiny in the palace! A kind servant young woman rescues the Governor’s newborn heir, scales mountains, and battles soldiers to keep the child safe.  Eventually she and the boy are presented for trial to the unpredictable judge, Azdak. A story of love and greed, sacrifice and opportunism, told in Brecht’s own rough and tumble style
