Plantation's Mosaic Theatre Shapes 2006-7 Season

MOSAIC THEATRE ANNOUNCES 2006-2007 SEASON LINEUP

It was with tremendous excitement that Richard Jay Simon announced Mosaic Theatre's Sensational Sixth Anniversary Season Spectacular Lineup. The new season will feature several Southeastern United States Premieres along with a Pulitzer-Prize Winning classic that recently closed on Broadway.

It will also bring upon a new challenge to the creative artists at Mosaic as this season Mosaic will have two thematically linked shows playing in rotating repertory. Audiences will have the opportunity to see two completely different shows on the same day, truly showing what a black box theatre can do. Fresh off its seven Carbonell nominations, and one victory, Mosaic Theatre is poised to take another step forward as a major theater company significantly impacting the South Florida community. The 6th Season Spectacular will also feature the inclusion of several new series that subscribers will have the opportunity to attend. Descriptions of these series are listed below along with subscriber information.

MOSAIC THEATRE 2006/2007 SEASON

RED LIGHT WINTER (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE) By Adam Rapp September 28 -October 22, 2005 "It's totally familiar but dreamlike at the same time," observes one American of Amsterdam's notorious Red Light District in the stunning new work from Adam Rapp. Escaping their lives in Manhattan, former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful young prostitute named Christina. But the romance they find in Europe is eventually overshadowed by the truth they discover at home. Written with an unflinching poetic beauty, "Red Light Winter" is a play of sexual intrigue that explores the myriad and misguided ways we seek to fill the empty spaces inside us.

THE WELL APPOINTED ROOM (Southeastern US Premiere) By Richard Greenberg November 30 -December 23, 2005 Tony Award-winning playwright Richard Greenberg (Take Me Out, The Violet Hour and Three Days of Rain) "keeps the head spinning and twisting and the mind and spirit, desperately engaged." - Chicago Tribune The Well-Appointed Room tells the story of two couples in two different eras whose lives play out in the same New York apartment. Placed in the pre, during, and post-September 11 framework, it is a disturbing, yet funny parable with multi-layered meanings that leaves one with lots to discuss after the lights have gone down.

GLENGARRY GLENN ROSS By David Mamet February 15 - March 4, 2006 (Limited Engagement) Winner of the Pulitzer Prize This scalding comedy took Broadway and London by storm and won a Pulitzer Prize. Never has the author's ear for the rhythms of contemporary speech been more keen than in this tale of cutthroat competition among real estate salesmen. Roma is in the lead for the monthly sales award, a new Cadillac while former top salesman Shelly Levene is riding a streak of bad luck. They are dependent on Williamson to give them hot leads, and Williamson ruthlessly pits them against each other. In the first act, the salesmen vie for position as they gulp their cocktails in the local Chinese restaurant. The second act shifts to the office, where the promising "Glengarry Glen Ross" leads have been filched. "Crackling tension ... ferocious comedy and drama." N.Y. Times. "Wonderfully funny.... A play to see, remember and cherish." N.Y. Post.

NINE PARTS OF DESIRE (SOUTHEASTERN US PREMIERE) by Heather Raffo April 11 - May 5, 2006 "POWERFUL! IMPASSIONED! VIVID! MEMORABLE!" New York Times "AN EXAMPLE OF HOW ART CAN REMAKE THE WORLD! A TRIUMPH! THRILLING!" The New Yorker Tyranny and war both come with extreme costs, and we often forget who pays. From the outside looking in, it's easy to view a nation's population as some formless group, joined by a shared religion or language. Writer/Performer Heather Raffo spent 11 years conducting dozens of interviews on and over four continents with Iraqi women. Her resulting "theatrical mosaic" depicts the realities of life in Iraq both under Saddam Hussein and since his ouster for several of these unique women, whose individuals worlds have been frayed and fractured, sometimes beyond repair, by their country's history. Nine Parts of Desire was inspired by Raffo's trip to the Saddam Art Center in Baghdad in 1993 where she saw only billboard-size portraits of Saddam Hussein. However, in a back room she discovered a painting of a nude woman clinging to a barren tree with her head bowed. There was a light in front of her, like a sun. Raffo took a photo of the painting in hopes of finding the artist, only to discover she had been killed during an American-led bombing raid in Baghdad earlier that year.

TBA April 12 - May 6, 2006 Playing in Rep with "9 Parts of Desire" Mosaic Theatre is currently solidifying an excellent play which will be announced shortly.
