2009 -- 2010 Season
Dying City
By Christopher Shinn
February 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 27
Dying City, a political play, is also a psychodrama about what Arthur Miller
called the politics of the soul. It’s about public conscience and private grief, and
real and symbolic catastrophes. A year after her husband’s death in Iraq, Kelly, a
young therapist, confronts his identical-twin gay brother, Peter, who shows up at her
apartment unannounced. Trying to make sense of what is left behind, Christopher
Shinn’s remarkable tale of loss and how two very different people handle their grief
is personal, intimate even, yet its themes could not be more all-encompassing and its
emotional impact more affecting. In this subtle and revealing play, Shinn is able to take
the political and humanize it, transforming the stuff of daily news stories into a
devastating statement on the unforeseen and often hidden consequences of war. Directed by
Ralph Hyman.
The Little Dog Laughed
By Douglas Carter Beane
March 12, 13, 19, 20, 26, 27
Receiving a 2007 Tony Award Best Play nomination, The Little Dog Laughed follows
the adventures of Mitchell Green, a movie star who could hit big if it weren’t for
one teensy-weensy problem: his agent, Diane, can’t seem to keep him in the closet.
Using satire’s risqué humor to reveal the deeply ingrained arti ce of
Hollywood, the play’s deeper level shows the masks everyone wears, and the pain they
hide. With twists and turns that keep audiences guessing, the production cleverly reflects
America’s celebrity-obsessed culture, the price of ambition, the luxury tax on love,
and the unexpected packaging in which dreams invariably arrive. Directed by Andy Hall.
Summertree
By Ron Cowen
April 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24
Winner of Off-Broadway’s Vernon Rice Award and concerned with the problems and fears
of young people in today’s uncertain world, this honest crucial play is both a joyous
expression of the good things in life and a powerful indictment of war and the senseless
waste which it can bring. Travel with our Young Man as he remembers his youth, his love,
his terror, and the idiosyncrasies of living. This is a story that will question where we
came from, where we’re going and most important where we are now and what do we truly
value. There’s a beauty and elegance to the writing that elevates the play to the
level of poetry. Cowen has distilled this bittersweet part of the human experience to its
essence. Directed by Ralph Hyman.
Glengarry Glen Ross
By David Mamet
May 14, 15, 21, 22, 28, 29
More pertinent than ever in today’s gravely compromised political atmosphere, this
Pulitzer Prize winning tale of cutthroat competition among desperate real estate salesmen
sticks figurative needles into businessmen and, by extrapolation, into American corporate
practices. With obscenities as common as conjunctions, these hardened hucksters hustle
worthless Florida land developments on the easily deluded. Insults rage. Tempers flare.
Reveling in obscenity and scatology, the alpha-male animals of “Glengarry”,
metaphor for the greedy in The American Corporation, practice the art of the deal, the
hard sell, the scam, mesmerizing the honest and honorable public as easily as a viper does
its prey. Directed by John Haman.
