Titan Theatre Company's 2015-16 Season to Feature 'EARNEST,' 'CAESAR' & More

Titan Theatre Company announced today its highly anticipated 2015/16 season at their home as the "Company in Residence" at Queens Theatre in beautiful Flushing Meadows Park in Queens.

Artistic Director Lenny Banovez, Producer Kevin Beebee and company have developed a stellar reputation by offering a consistent level of innovation and quality that has taken the borough of Queens, and the New York City theatre scene, by storm over the last six years. A six year span that has seen the company rise from performing in a Tex Mex Restaurant/Comedy Club to holding the title of "Theatre in Residence" at the premier performing arts venue in Queens, the Queens Theatre.

Titan will open its third full season with Oscar Wilde's classic comedy "The Importance of Being Earnest" directed by Broadway veteran and Titan Company Member Terry Layman.

The production will be followed by a remount of Titan's Award Winning musical version of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. The soaring adaptation by Titan Artistic Director Lenny Banovez & Titan Company Member Emily Trask won "Production of the Year" last season and returns again as a new holiday tradition that is taking hold in Queens.

Titan closes its season with Shakespeare's political drama "Julius Caesar" directed by Jack Young. Young also helmed Titan's production of "Hamlet" in 2008 and is the Artistic Director of the Houston Shakespeare Festival and head of the Professional Actor Training Program at the University of Houston.

"This is a very important year for us at Titan." says Artistic Director Lenny Banovez. "As we continue to grow and reach more and more people, not just in our home borough of Queens, but all of the NYC theatre community, we are making a conscious choice to become a theatre company, not just a producing entity. For us that is very important to our mission, and to making Queens even more of a destination for quality theatre."

Banovez's words ring true as TITAN has a continuing partnership with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and their "Teens Take the Met!" event, the launch of the Titan Youth Training Program, and are currently in collaboration with the Queens Public Libraries.
