New Theatre Announces Its 2009 - 2010 Season

New Theatre Announces its 2009 - 2010 Season
of Classics and World Premieres 

New Theatre's 2009-2010 season will continue to produce vibrant theatre by cultivating "New Voices- New Works" and reinterpretating the Classics. 

Following the acclaimed 2008 - 2009 Season, New Theatre kicks off its 2009-2010 season with one of the Bard's comedies, The Taming of the Shrew (August 27 - September 27, 2009).  This classic battle-of-the-sexes romp is the tale of a shrewish woman and her strong-willed husband, both wrecking havoc on the conventions of courtship and marriage.

The season moves from Shakespeare's comedy to New Theatre's first World Premiere of the season, In Development by David Caudle (October 8 - November 8, 2009), playwright of New Theatre's World Premieres of The Sunken Living Room and Likeness. In this new comedy sex, death, and dramaturgy take the stage at a conference for aspiring young playwrights and their legendary mentor; the previous year had dire consequences, and now lightning seems poised to strike twice. 

In Development is followed by the National New Play Network World Premiere of Quiara Alegría Hudes' 26 Miles (November 19 - December 20, 2009), playwright of New Theatre's successful production of Elliot: A Soldier's Fugue and book writer for the Broadway acclaimed and Tony nominated musical In the Heights.  In 26 Miles a Cuban mother defies a custody ruling, kidnaps her estranged Jewish daughter, and the two drive west in search of the authentic American experience.

Launching into 2010 brings the World Premiere of local playwright and acclaimed  novelist, Sandra Riley's The Hour of the Tiger (January 14 -February 14, 2010), where an American woman immersed in Japan during the cease fire is tangled between rescuing a geisha from her money hungry master and conquering her own fears. The second classic of the season and final production of the 2009-2010 Season are to be announced pending the securing of the production rights.
