Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Written by Tennessee Williams
November 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18
Tennessee Williams’ compelling characters and brilliantly-written scenes have moved audiences since its Pulitzer Prize-winning debut in 1955. This story of a Southern family in crisis, according to the NY Times, “comes closest to hurling the actual blood and bone of life onto the stage” with the natural poetry of its prose.
The Odyssey
Adapted for children by Falls/ Beattie
Produced by special arrangement with Anchorage Press Plays,
Louisville Kentucky USA
January 31, February 1, 2, 3
Family matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2pm ::
Recommended for all ages
Odysseus' epic journey home from the Trojan War is a fanciful adventure featuring the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops, the twin Sirens, the sorceress Circle, King Aeolous, and the trickster god, Hermes. Using puppetry, masks, songs, and mime, this realization of the Homeric classic will intrigue both children and adults, while remaining faithful to the poetic original.
Polaroid Stories
Written by Naomi Iizuka
March 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16
Mature themes, not recommended for children under the age of 12.
To the sounds of iPods, video arcades, and a thousand collect phone calls in the night, Naomi Iizuka transforms the chaotic life of street kids into a fierce elegy of emptiness, sensation, desire, and fear. This haunting evocation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, re-imagined for the 21st century, lends mythic power and social immediacy to America's lower depths.
Hamlet
Written by William Shakespeare
May 16, 18, 24, 30; June 1, 5, 7
Something is indeed rotten in the state of Denmark. The rightful king has been cruelly murdered by his own brother, and that brother instantly married his widow. The king’s son Hamlet sees dead people, his girlfriend is going crazy, and her brother is really ticked off. Is it possible that Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy – brilliantly written as it is -- is ultimately a dark, gruesome melodrama?
Hamlet, The
Artist Formerly Known as Prince
of Denmark
May 17, 23, 25, 29, 31; June 6, 8
Recommended ages 8+
In this twisted tale of murder and revenge, Hamlet lives his final days in a tale only partially scripted by Shakespeare. At Midnight, Under The Cherry Moon, a ghost donning a Raspberry Beret proclaims Let’s Go Crazy. You’ll party like it’s 1599 in a performance filled with ba(r)d puns, pop culture references, slapstick tragedy, and parodied music of the Purple One.
