Scripps Ranch Theatre - Season 2022

Heisenberg

Written by Simon Stephens

Directed by Charles Peters

January 14 - 30

Preview performance: January 14

Opening Night/Press Opening: Saturday, January 15 8pm

Amidst the bustle of a crowded London train station, Georgie spots Alex, a much older man, and plants a kiss on his neck. This electric encounter thrusts these two strangers into a fascinating and life-changing game.

Heisenberg is a life-affirming mating dance between two people who are so utterly dissimilar that of course they are made for each other. It is a probing work that considers the multiplicity of alternatives that could shape our lives at every moment.

Tony Award winning playwright Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) presents a refreshing look into just how unpredictable life can be.

February 25- March 13
Preview performance February 25
Opening Night/Press Opening: Saturday, February 26 8pm

Beane, an emotionless, extreme introvert is burglarized by the pixie-ish Molly; and he falls in love. His high-powered sister and her husband, Beane's self-appointed caretakers, are suspicious. But Beane's newfound joy is contagious. In the end, Beane is transformed and transforms those around him. Love Song is a quirky, romantic comedy that challenges us by asking "what is reality? What is love?"

The Taming

Written by Lauren Gunderson
Directed by Marti Gobel
April 8 - 24
Preview performance April 8
Opening Night/Press Opening Saturday, April 9 8pm

In this hilarious, raucous, all-female "power-play" inspired by Shakespeare's Shrew, contestant Katherine has political aspirations to match her beauty pageant ambitions. All she needs to revolutionize the American government is the help of one ultra-conservative senator's aide on the cusp of a career breakthrough, and one bleeding-heart liberal blogger who will do anything for her cause. Well, that and a semi-historically-accurate ether trip.

This madcap romp tackles modern American political extremism, feminism, James Madison, Shakespeare, and beauty queens, The three slightly insane women at its core just might be political geniuses. Here's lookin' at you, America.

I Hate Hamlet

Written by Paul Rudnick
Directed by Phil Johnson
May 20 - June 5
Preview Performance May 20
Opening Night/Press Opening Saturday, May 21 8pm

Andrew Rally is a TV actor with a failing series and a chance to play the dream role of Hamlet. When the ghost of the famous Shakespearean actor John Barrymore appears for the sole purpose of convincing Rally to accept the role, he has to choose between Shakespeare and a new TV deal worth millions.

Enter a beautiful girlfriend clinging steadfastly to her chastity and a glamorous agent who claims to have had an affair with Barrymore and the results are fast, clever, and hilarious. A comedy valentine to people who love the theatre and the eccentric people in it.
