THE MISSING PAGES OF LEWIS CARROLL by Lily Blau / developed in collaboration with Sydney Gallas / directed by Abigail Deser

Lewis Carroll kept a detailed journal of his life, including details of his close friendship with Alice Liddell, the 11-year-old muse who inspired Alice in Wonderland. Upon Carroll's death it was discovered that several pages of this otherwise immaculate journal had been torn out. This play takes us down the rabbit hole to explore what might have been on these missing pages.

Opening April 25, 2015
MY BARKING DOG by Eric Coble / directed by Michael Michetti

What happens when something deeply wild ventures onto your doorstep? Two reclusive apartment dwellers' unfulfilled lives take a turn for the bizarre when a starving coyote begins to frequent their fire escape. This brush with wildlife incites them to embrace their animal instincts as they bond with their untamed visitor. What do we do when nature returns to claim the turf we usurped?

Opening July 11, 2015
SHIV by Aditi Brennan Kapil / directed by Emilie Beck

This post-Colonial fantasy loosely based on Shiva, the Hindu destroyer god, explores a vividly rendered relationship between a girl becoming a young American woman and the South Asian poet father who inspires and eventually disappoints her. By turns poetic, metaphysical, and richly human, the play paints a compelling portrait of how challenging it is to be an immigrant in a new country where all the rules are different.

Opening October 4, 2015 a co-production with Rattlestick Playwrights Theatre
SEVEN SPOTS ON THE SUN by Martin Zimmerman / directed by Michael John Garces

A fable of revenge and redemption, the people of a Latin American village are reeling from the impact of a devastating civil war when a mysterious plague begins to ravage their children. An embittered doctor discovers that he could be their savior, but he must wrestle with his own soul to discover whether he wants to offer compassion or retribution.

Special Presentation at the Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, CA Opening September 9, 2015
MOJADA: A MEDEA IN LOS ANGELES by Luis Alfaro / directed by Jessica Kubzansky

Luis Alfaro, author of the explosive Oedipus el Rey, continues his brilliant reexamination of the Greek classics through a modern lens: Mojada is a breathtaking reimagining of Euripides' Medea transported to East Los Angeles. Medea, a Mexican seamstress with extraordinary skill, is running from a past filled with betrayals. With husband Jason and their son in tow, old and new worlds collide in the City of the Angels. Tickets available beginning July 1 at Getty.edu.

Each Main Stage production previews for six performances prior to its opening date and runs for four weeks, Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2 p.m. Season memberships are available now through www.BostonCourt.org or by calling 626-683-6883.
