By Luigi Pirandello
Translated by Edward Storer
Directed by Steve Vineberg
Boroughs Theatre

 

A theatre company preparing their latest production is disrupted by the appearance of six figures who claim to be characters abandoned by their author. They beg the director and actors to dramatize their story, with results that are comic, heartbreaking, haunting and ultimately mysterious. Luigi Pirandello’s 1921 play challenges the assumptions of realism: can we really replicate human relationships, with all their contradictions and complexity, on the stage? Six Characters in Search of an Author is a modern classic that continues to exert a profound influence on theatre and film more than a century after it was first produced.

Book by James Lapine
Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Luth Concert Hall
 

Perhaps the stories we learned as children aren’t as simple as they once seemed.  Into the Woods, Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s witty and daring reimagining of classic fairy tales, leaves behind the binary world of good versus evil and right versus wrong to explore what really happens after “happily ever after.”  Little Red Riding Hood and Jack the Giant Killer confront the consequences of their choices, and their decisions echo throughout their community, while Cinderella and Rapunzel discover that getting what you want doesn’t always lead to happiness.  Sondheim and Lapine welcome us into an unconventional kind of fairy tale that challenges conventional thinking and the tales we thought we knew.  After all, witches can be right and giants can be good. It's up to us to decide.

April 16-18 and 23-25 at 7:30 p.m.
April 19 and 26 at 2 p.m.

Conceived and directed by Lynn Kremer
Inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass 
by Lewis Carroll
Boroughs Theatre
 

In this poetic dance/drama, an elderly Alice recalls her childhood, when she heard fantastic stories from Charles Dodgson, better known as Lewis Carroll.  Images and text from Carroll’s beloved books swirl on stage in this original devised piece that asks the question, “Who am I in this world?”  In Curiouser and Curiouser, Lynn Kremer collaborates with Balinese artists for an evening that is sure to charm lovers of Carroll and audiences of all ages.  

April 30 7 and 9 p.m.

“Acne. Braces. Hormones. If these were vocab words, these six Putnam tweens would be fine. Unfortunately, it’s their lives.  As they stand onstage trying to spell their way to success, they open their hearts in ways that are hilarious and A-W-K-W-A-R-D.”
