Season Schedule
Spring 2008
Dinner at Eight
by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber
Directed by Steve Vineberg
Kaufman and Ferber’s extravagant 1932 entertainment is alternately hilarious and touching; it displays the finely honed craft of the classic Broadway playwright. While a self-involved socialite anxiously assembles a dinner party that threatens at any moment to turn into a shambles, the play tracks the personal crises and triumphs of her guests. The characters include a charismatic stage star, a husband-and-wife duo of squabbling, social-climbing Texans, a down-on-his-luck, alcoholic actor ~ and the host, a shipping magnate in danger of losing his company in these dire early years of the Depression.

Spring Dance Concert
For the last two years, we’ve added an extra performance of our annual spring dance concert in response to its enduring popularity. Our dance students are showcased in a vivid, varied program of pieces choreographed by our dance instructors, devised by their peers, or derived from master classes by visiting artists. Our instructors (Kaela San Lee, Jimena Bermejo and Margie Pierce) also perform. One of the highlights of the academic year.

My Life with Albertine
by Richard Nelson and Ricky Ian Gordon
Directed by Lynn Kremer
A middle-aged Parisian recalls his first love affair ~ with the unpredictable, tempestuous Albertine, whom he met at the end of the nineteenth century, when he was seventeen and vacationing at the seaside with his grandmother. Lynn Kremer directs a rare revival of this impressionistic memory musical based on a section of Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past. My Life with Albertine is both delicate and raucous. Richard Nelson wrote the poetic script; Ricky Ian Gordon composed the sumptuous music.
Fenwick Theatre
