A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE
By Tennessee Williams
June 12 – 28, 2009
Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, A Streetcar Named Desire, generates as much smoldering heat today as it did when it premiered on Broadway in 1947. At once lyrical and sensual, passionate and primal, the play represents a clash between two indomitable spirits: Blanche, who holds fast to her ideal of romantic love in changing world that is immune to her charms, and Stanley, who prides himself on his carnal cruelty.
HARVEY
By Mary Chase
July 10 – 26, 2009
Harvey - Mary Chase's Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy - shimmers with optimism, madcap humor and genuine charm. Elwood P. Dowd is a likable lush whose friendship with Harvey – a 6-foot rabbit invisible to everyone but Elwood – has driven his high-strung sister Veta to try to commit him to a sanitarium. But through his friendship with Elwood, Harvey - a gentle, unfailingly kind prankster - pricks everyone in the play to discover the best in themselves. Harvey asks us all to celebrate the oddballs and eccentrics among us for sharing their optimism, hope, and generous spirit.
GUYS AND DOLLS
A musical fable of Broadway
Based on a story and characters by Damon Runyon
Music and Lyrics by Frank Loesser
Book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows
July 31 - August 16, 2009
Guys and Dolls is an exuberant urban fairy tale about saints and sinners rolling for souls. It hinges on a bet that "a mission doll" and an unrepentant gambler will fall in love. Every number is a show stopper, from "Luck Be A Lady" to "Sit Down, You're Rockin' the Boat," and from "Adelaide's Lament" to "I'll Know."
