JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, GIDION'S KNOT & More Set for NextStop Theatre Company's 2014-15 Season

NextStop Theatre Company has announced the line up for their 2014/15 main stage season. The second season for the DC area's most talked about new theatre company features an eclectic mixture of titles that includes a contemporary comedy, a period drama, two musicals, a long running Off-Broadway hit, and a regional premiere.

"We are so proud of the work in our inaugural season," said Producing Artistic Director Evan Hoffmann. "We raised the bar and the wonderful actors, directors, designers and technicians that joined us flew over it! With the next season, we will push ourselves even harder to present interesting and ambitious shows that highlight the talent of the professional artists in our community and the versatility that makes our space and company so unique."

The season begins in August with the DC-area premiere of the critically acclaimed drama Gidion's Knot by Johnna Adams, co-produced with Forum Theatre of Silver Spring, MD. In October, NextStop will present A.R. Gurney's hilarious canine comedy, Sylvia. The season continues in 2015 with the two-man musical comedy Gutenberg! The Musical followed by Nora Ephron's Love, Loss and What I Wore. In the spring, the company will stage Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic Jesus Christ Superstar and then conclude the season with the Tony and Oscar Award-winning period drama, A Man For All Seasons by Robert Bolt.
