2012-2013 SEASON ANNOUNCED

    Is He Dead? hits the stage in late September and is based on a play by Mark Twain and adapted by David Ives.  Combining elements of burlesque, farce and social satire, this comedy relies on such devices as cross-dressing, mistaken identities, and romantic deceptions to tell its story, which raises questions about fame, greed, and the value of art.   The story focuses on a fictional version of the great French painter Jean-Francois Millet as an impoverished artist in Barbizon, France who, with the help of his colleagues, staged his death in order to increase the value of his paintings, and afterwards dressed as a woman to keep his secret safe. 

     Frost/Nixon, which opens in January, dramatizes the1977 television interviews between British journalist David Frost and former president Richard Nixon.  When Nixon sat down with Frost to discuss the sordid details that ultimately derailed his presidency, it had been three years since the former commander in chief had been forced out of office.  The Watergate scandal was still fresh in everyone’s minds, and Nixon had remained notoriously tightlipped until he agreed to sit down with Frost.  Nixon was certain that he could hold his own opposite the up-and-coming British broadcaster, but when the interview got under way, instead of Nixon stonewalling the interviewer as expected, what emerged was an unguardedly honest exchange between a man who had lost everything and another with everything to gain.  You will be treated to a re-creation of that landmark interview, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the power struggles that led up to it. 

     Singin’ In the Rain, the MGM classic of the golden age of movie musicals, opens in March.  It has been adapted by Broadway legends Betty Comden and Adolph Green from their original award-winning screenplay.  Each unforgettable scene, song and dance, is accounted for, including the show stopping title number-complete with an onstage rainstorm!  There are hilarious situations, snappy dialogue, and a hit-parade score of Hollywood standards.   The 1920’s is the setting for this zany, light-hearted romantic comedy about the early days of sound film, when many a movie studio found itself scrambling to salvage the career of its chipmunk-voiced silent picture star.
