Rover Dramawerks Announces 11th Season

Rover Dramawerks is proud to announce its 11th season, which will feature shows such as SUNDAY IN NEW YORK, MORPHIC RESONANCE, and BLACK COMEDY.  

Morphic Resonance by Katherine Burger
October 28 - November 20, 2010 at the Cox Building Playhouse
Cleome, an acerbic New York writer, finds banter easier than love, whether with her father or her noncommittal lover, Wallace. While Cleome's and Wallace's relationship flounders, their best friends Alice and Jim fall head over heels. Alice's diagnosis with cancer sets in sharp contrast the things we fear and the things we fear to lose. Both comical and moving, Morphic Resonance is a classic metaphor for learning that which may be impossible to know as individuals. Rover is pleased to bring back this critical and audience favorite!

Sunday in New York by Norman Krasna
January 20 - February 12, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse
Eileen has discovered that being a "good girl" makes it hard to get a man. But when she becomes literally attached to one on a crowded Fifth Avenue bus and the two of them are caught in a downpour, how does she explain the two of thEm Lounging in bathrobes to her would-be fiancé? A small fib, made to avoid a misunderstanding, quickly grows enormous and our heroine is hard-pressed to convey the truth which will save her engagement - and her reputation. A wildly funny Broadway success by one of America's masters of comedy.

One Day Only 16, February 19, 2011 at the Courtyard Theater
Seven World Premieres from concept to curtain in just one day!

The Crowd You're in With by Rebecca Gilman (Regional Premiere)
March 24 - April 9, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse
To beget or not to beget? That is the question. At a Fourth of July backyard barbeque, three couples and a single friend discuss all sides of the pros and cons of starting a family. With generous use of humor, the play explores both the surface interactions and deeper undercurrents of contemporary life - and whether or not to bring a baby into it. The debates of life-choice issues people all cope with are lively, funny, and intelligent, affecting both the mind and the heart. The newest hit play from the acclaimed author of Spinning into Butter and Boy Gets Girl.

Murder at the Orient Burlesque by Carol M. Rice (World Premiere)
May 19 - June 11, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse
When Russian princess Katherina Anastasia Faberge Antoinette joins the cast of the burlesque at Christie's Orient Palace, the trouble begins, so it's not a surprise when she turns up dead after only one performance. As Detective Red Flannegan quickly discovers, everyone has a motive, and the Czarina was not only shot, but poisoned, stabbed, electrocuted and strangled. The question then becomes not who did it, but who did what, and is there anyone who didn't? A riotous comedy by Rover's Artistic Director and the author of our Around the World in 80 Days.

One Day Only 17, June 25, 2011 at the Courtyard Theater
Our seventeenth signature 24-hour play festival, featuring 7 World Premieres!

Little Mary Sunshine by Book, Music and Lyrics by Ray Besoyan
July 14-30, 2011 at the Courtyard Theater
Little Mary Sunshine is a charming musical spoof in the vein of Gilbert and Sullivan. With stalwart Forest Rangers, a sweet and lovely heroine and her "naughty" sidekick, a chorus of simpering school girls, and a villainous Indian, it pokes fun at the overly earnest heroes and heroines, dastardly villains and every coquettish soubrettes of bygone eras. Containing thundering choruses, schmaltzy waltzes, lilting duets, and deliberately corny songs, it will quickly win your heart. One of the most successful ever Off Broadway stage shows!

Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer
September 1-24, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse
Lovesick and desperate, sculptor Brindsley Miller has embellished his apartment with furniture and objects d'arte "borrowed" from the absent antique collector next door hoping to impress his fiancée's pompous father and a wealthy art dealer. The catch? A blown fuse has plunged the apartment into darkness...just as said neighbor arrives home. Unexpected guests, mixed up cocktails, and the flame of a single lighter impede Brindsley's frantic attempts to set things right before light is restored. A brilliant farce described by the International Herald Tribune as "Pure hilarity."

Rover Dramawerks is proud to be the resident theatre company performing at the Cox Building Playhouse and the Courtyard Theater.
