New Theatre announces its 25th Anniversary Season
With its 2010 - 2011 Season line-up
Following its successful 2009 - 2010 Season, New Theatre kicks off its 2010-2011 season with a limited engagement of one of the Bard's romantic comedies, 'The Tempest' (September 2 - September 19, 2010) adapted and directed by guest artist John Manzelli. Stranded on a deserted island with his daughter, a usurped duke is granted his chance at revenge. By invoking a storm, he shipwrecks the man who ruined him. Also among the passengers is the young man who awakens his daughter's first stirrings of love.
The season then moves to the Southeastern premiere of the critically acclaimed Broadway play, 'Jack Goes Boating' by Bob Glaudini (October 8 - 31, 2010). Laced with cooking classes, swimming lessons and a smorgasbord of illegal drugs, 'Jack Goes Boating' is a touching and warmhearted play about learning how to stay afloat in the deep water of day-to-day living where date panic, marital meltdown, betrayal, and the prevailing grace of the human spirit abound.
The end of 2010 brings the Southeastern premiere of 'Fizz' by Rogelio Martinez (November 19 - December 12, 2010.) Gun-toting Southern belles, cocaine-loving Rockettes, and insane soda execs all take part in this based-on-a-true-story comedy about one of history's biggest flops - the creation of New Coke.
The beginning of 2011 brings a play to be announced (January 28 - February 20, 2011) which will be announced pending the securing of the production rights from the playwright's agent.
Next will be the World Premiere of 'The Radiant' (March 25 - April 17, 2011) by Tony nominated and playwright for New Theatre's 2005 World Premiere production of 'Clarence Darrow's Last Trial,' Shirley Lauro. Developed at the prestigious Actors Studio in New York City and recipient of a 2008 EST/Sloan Foundation Commission, 'The Radiant' is about the tempestuous, dramatic life of Marie Curie, one of the world's first recognized woman scientists, whose discovery and isolation of radium earned her two Nobel Prizes and revolutionized science forever, as she ushered in "The Atomic Age" and the first cure for cancer.
New Theatre closes its season honoring the classics with Tennessee William's 'A Streetcar Named Desire' (May 20 - June 12, 2011.) This modern classic follows the decline of a fading Southern belle and the sexy, beer-chugging barbarian responsible for her tragic fall.
