freeFall's 2015-16 Season to Feature PETER AND THE STARCATCHER, THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA & More

freeFall Theatre announces a brand new season of plays and musicals. Since freeFall opened its doors 4 years ago, Artistic Director Eric Davis has chosen a unifying theme for each season. "Our 2015/2016 Season explores the human memory. From individual memory to collective memory, from the things we remember to things we forget, from the truth to how we revise history, this season is peopled by characters looking to their pasts in order to face the future." Writes Davis in the newest brochure for the upcoming season. freeFall encourages patrons to become season ticket holders so they can truly experience the diversity of plays and musicals as they converse with each other across time and genre.

Here's a list of freeFall's exciting new offerings for the 2015/2016 season titled AS I REMEMBER IT.

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST WITH ZOMBIES
October 3 - November 1, 2015
Adapted by Eric Davis
From the play by Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde's classic satire on conventions and propriety is even more biting when played against the zombie apocalypse. This literary mash-up will have you leaving the theatre giggling - or checking over your shoulder!

PETER AND THE STARCATCHER
December 5 - January 3, 2016
A play by Rick Elice
Based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson
Music by Wayne Barker

This prequel to J.M. Barrie's classic, PETER PAN will transport audiences to Neverland this holiday season. Filled with pirates, mermaids, pixies, lost boys, first kisses, crocodiles and exquisite mustaches. PETER AND THE STARCATCHER celebrates the child in all of us.

OUR TOWN
January 16 - February 14, 2016
By Thornton Wilder

Since its premiere in 1938, Thornton Wilder's haunting play has remained one of the most often performed works in the American canon. Its longevity is a testament not only to the wit and simplicity of Wilder's words, but to the questions it ponders, which are at the very root of the human experience.

SONDHEIM ON SONDHEIM
March 12 - April 10, 2016
Music by Stephen Sondheim
Originally Conceived and Directed by James Lapine

This revolutionary biographical revue employs state-of-the-art video to tell the story of Sondheim's life and career in his own words and music. This is a once-in-a-lifetime theatrical experience celebrating perhaps the single most important contributor to the art of the American Musical.

MR. BURNS
April 30 - May 22, 2016
A post-electric play by Ann Washburn

Civilization has come to an end. The grid has failed and a few survivors are left to rebuild. We find them shortly after the cataclysm attempting to remember the details of an episode of The Simpsons. At once bravely intelligent and irreverently accessible, this fantasia on the resilience of the human need to tell stories will be one of the most talked-about theatrical events of the season.

THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA
June 18 - July 10, 2016
Book by Craig Lucas
Music and Lyrics by Adam Guettel

This lush, deeply romantic contemporary musical follows Margaret and her daughter Clara on their visit to Florence in the summer of 1953. A chance meeting between Clara and a handsome young Florentine sets both of their hearts ablaze. As Margaret attempts to shield their daughter from the outside world we become aware that all is not as it seems, and we are left to ponder the nature of love, desire, regret, and ultimately the beauty of life.

THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE
August 6 - September 4, 2016
Music by Arthur Sullivan
Libretto by W.S. Gilbert

In the vein of freeFall's wildly popular production of THE MIKADO, this irreverent re-imagining of the G & S masterpiece will whisk you away to a long time ago on a galaxy far, far way.
