2010 SEASON
After two long years of preparation, fundraising and coordination, we are thrilled to announce our first full season! 2010 marks a huge year for our company and we’re looking forward to sharing it with you. Don’t miss this monumental season!
March 5 – 27: Spike Heels by Theresa Rebeck
Pygmalion goes awry in this contemporary comedy of manners which explores sexual harassment, misplaced love, and the possibility of a four sided love triangle. The players in this game include a sexy, volatile young woman and three Back Bay types: a writer, a lawyer and a fiancée in sensible shoes.
June 4 – 26: bash, Latter Day Plays by Neil Labute
A trio of one-act plays exhibiting Labute’s signature raw lyrical intensity. In “Iphigenia in Orem,” a Utah businessman confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room. In “A Gaggle of Saints,” a Mormon couple separately recounts the events of an anniversary weekend. Finally, in “Medea Redux,” a woman tells of her complex relationship with her junior high school English teacher.
October 1-23: World Premiere of Snowbound by James C. Ferguson
Cabin fever is taken to the extreme in this new work by James C. Ferguson. When Mark, a struggling television writer, flies to visit friends, David and Pam, in the Midwest, the snow comes along too, bringing the three a little too close for comfort. A weekend of low-key, superficial frivolity quickly devolves into nearly a week and a half of misdirected anger; emotional outbursts and suspicion when the trio realizes they can’t—for any reason—leave the house. Of course the way the relationships are unraveling, they might fare better out in the storm.
STAGED READING SERIES
We are pleased to report that our first Staged Reading on October 17th, 2009, was a wonderful success! We featured ROSE CITY by up and coming author, David Lewison. After the reading we hosted a lively Q and A session with the author. We’ve received word that the David is currently using the feedback he received during our staged reading to revise the play. We wish him the best on his next draft and we’re looking forward to reading it.
Throughout 2010 we will continue to feature local playwrights and help them develop their new work by casting, directing and producing a staged reading of their play. By working with local writers we hope to assist fellow artists, discover and develop new work and foster the creation of diverse and unique new literature. These staged readings will be free of charge to the community.
If you are a playwright and would like to submit your work, please direct them to president@theredbrickroad.org for consideration. Our next Staged Reading will take place in April.
