Rep Stage Season

Announcing the 2011-12 Rep Stage Season

The 2011-12 Rep Stage Main Stage Season will include:

Or, By Liz Duffy Adams Directed by Michael Stebbins	Barrymore By William Luce Directed by Steven Carpenter	Yellowman By Dael Orlandersmith Directed by Kasi Campbell	Las Meninas By Lynn Nottage Directed by Eve Muson
The free love of the '60s...the 1660s...is riotously explored in this recent Off-Broadway farce based on real-life playwright Aphra Behn's undercover spy and romantic romps through Restoration England in order to gain entry into the all boys' playwriting club.	The faded glamour of 1940s theatre comes to life as Rep Stage favorite Nigel Reed reunites with the director of Trumbo: Red, White and Blacklisted to portray stage legend John Barrymore as he rehearses a comeback of his triumphal Richard III.	In this poetic and compelling Pulitzer-nominated story, two childhood friends struggle with identity and love amidst issues of race, class, and family loyalties in the complex and idiosyncratic Gullah community in the South Carolina lowcountry.	Pulitzer Prize-winning Nottage's irreverent, incisive, majestic, and moving reconsideration of the historical scandal that rocks Louis XIV's court when his queen is presented with a unique gift.

August 31 - September 18, 2011	October 26 - November 13, 2011	Feb 8 - Feb 26, 2012	April 18 - May 6, 2012

Rep Stage’s 2011-12 Salon Series will include*:

“The Guys” by Anne Nelson	“The Poe Show”	“Holidays on Ice” by David Sedaris	“Rep Stage Revue: Spotlighting YOU!”
Based on a true story, “The Guys” focuses on an NYC fire captain who lost eight men in the collapse of the World Trade Center towers and the editor who helps him write the eulogies he must deliver.	Tony Tsendeas, nationally recognized interpreter of Edgar Allan Poe's writings, returns to Rep Stage to share words and works by the master of the macabre.	Rep Stage's producing artistic director, Michael Stebbins, brings Sedaris' caustic holiday essays to life and adds a dash(er) of pessimism to the season.	Have a special talent that you’d love to share on the stage? Rep Stage invites aspiring entertainers to sign up for an audition date and time, where they will have three minutes to showcase their talents before a panel of judges and theatre professionals. Selected acts will appear in “Rep Stage Revue: Spotlighting YOU!” Prepare today to become a star tomorrow!
