ANGELS IN AMERICA and More Announced for Redhouse Arts Center 2022-23 Season

Artistic Director Temar Underwood has announced Redhouse Arts Center's 2022-23 Main Stage Season, which will feature an epic Pulitzer Prize winning play, a family holiday favorite, a diverse work by a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, and a well known poignant musical with an amazing score...all of which follow a theme of searching - in search of meaning, in search of family and friends, in search of identity and in search of love.

"As we move forward, with much of the pandemic hopefully behind us, I want to explore what we went through, what we've learned, and what might be next. First and foremost we want to entertain, but we also want to start a conversation about what we're in search of." Redhouse will offer four Main Stage shows with an equal balance of plays and musicals.

Redhouse will kick off 2022-23 season with the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Angels in America, Part I - Millennium Approaches by Tony Kushner, which will run from October 14-23, 2022. One of America's most ambitious plays, Angels in America is a monumental artistic achievement. Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Kushner's work is at once playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and extraordinarily entertaining. America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, this masterpiece beautifully addresses questions of identity, trust, justice, judgement and ultimately meaning.

Redhouse will get it's audiences into the Holiday Spirt with its next production of the season, the musical version of A Christmas Story which will run from December 8-18, 2022. From the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the Academy Award-winning film La La Land, With book by Joseph Robinette. Music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, A Christmas Story, The Musical, brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage! Set in 1940s Indiana, a young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical, A Christmas Story, The Musical is a triple-dog-dare of a good time and it is sure to warm your heart this holiday season!

Our third show of the season takes us to the Golden Age of Hollywood and shines the spotlight aspiring starlet Vera Stark works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role... a movie starring her boss. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage's fast-paced, spritely, sly satire is a journey through Vera's seventy-year life and a sharp take on race and culture - both in the past and today. The story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy historians and scholars will debate for years to come.
