A DOLL'S HOUSE, NORTHSIDE HOLLOW and DETROIT Set for Harbor Stage's 2015 Summer Season

The Harbor Stage Company, the artist-run ensemble that produces intrepid, live performance on the shores of Wellfleet Harbor, announces their fourth season of arresting, intimate theater.

The 2015 Harbor season will open today, June 18th, with Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House. Adapted and directed by Artistic Director Robert Kropf, this elegant new version will feature co-founder Stacy Fischer as the dark horse heroine Nora, and explores the struggle for authenticity within the confines of an artificial society. A Doll's House will play through July 11th.

Next up, the company will present the World Premiere of Northside Hollow, an original piece devised collaboratively by Harbor co-founders Jonathan Fielding and Brenda Withers. The play offers an evocative portrait of a miner who, trapped underground after a dangerous collapse, finds his salvation in the arrival of an adventurous first responder. Northside Hollow will run July 16th through August 8th.

The season will conclude with the Boston Regional Premiere of Lisa D'Amour's Obie Award- winning Detroit. Set in the suburbs of an unnamed metropolis, the piece examines a budding and unlikely friendship that develops between two very different couples. Local favorite Daisy Walker returns to the Harbor to direct the company in this fiercely funny take on a dissolving American dream, running August 13th through September 5th.

Helping round out the acting company this summer will be frequent Harbor collaborators Alex Pollock (The Seagull, Sticks & Bones) and Robin Bloodworth (Artist Descending a Staircase); making his Harbor debut will be actor, director, and longtime Cape resident Allen Kennedy (Broadway's Amadeus). The company is thrilled to welcome such talented artists to the ensemble and will announce further casting and artistic collaborators at a later date.

To account for increasing demand, the company will be adding a 5th weekly performance to their schedule this summer, offering an early evening curtain most Sundays at 5pm. In keeping with their mission to present great plays at affordable prices for the right reason, single tickets remain priced at $20 and will go on sale in April. Three Play Subscriptions are available for $57 and, with help from a generous grant from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, the group will once again host a Pay-What-You-Can night on the First Friday of each production's run.
