MUSICAL OF MUSICALS (THE MUSICAL) |
25-29 February
Music by ERIC ROCKWELL
Lyrics by JOANNE BOGART
Book by ERIC ROCKWELL and JOANNE BOGART
A musical about musicals! In this hilarious satire of musical theatre, one story becomes five delightful musicals, each written in the distinctive style of a different master of the form, from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Stephen Sondheim.
The basic plot: June is an ingenue who can't pay the rent and is threatened by her evil landlord. Will the handsome leading man come to the rescue?
The variations are: a Rodgers and Hammerstein version, set in Kansas in August, complete with a dream ballet; a Sondheim version, featuring the landlord as a tortured artistic genius who slashes the throats of his tenants in revenge for not appreciating his work; a Jerry Herman version, as a splashy star vehicle; an Andrew Lloyd Webber version, a rock musical with themes borrowed from Puccini; and a Kander and Ebb version, set in a speakeasy in Chicago.
OPHELIA THINKS HARDER | 31 March-4 April
by JEAN BETTS
and WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
A riotous reworking of Shakespeare's Hamlet - with serious themes, nevertheless. Featuring Ophelia, her maid, St Joan and a couple of locals - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern.
The Prince is a hazard and the new King’s a puppet. Who the hell is running Denmark? Ophelia tries to please. Ophelia fails. Ophelia thinks harder.
Ophelia Thinks Harder is a heightened, confused and darkly-funny world, where Shakespeare meets feminism. And this time Ophelia gets all the best lines.
WORKING: A MUSICAL | 12-16 May 2020
Adapted by NINA FASO and STEPHEN SCHWARTZ
With additional contributions by GORDON GREENBERG
Songs by CRAIG CARNELIA, JAMES TAYLOR, MARY RODGERS, MICKI GRANT,
STEPHEN SCHWARTZ, SUSAN BIRKENHEAD and LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA
From the book by STUDS TURKEL
A delightfully funny and thoroughly touching musical which explores what goes through the minds of everyday people - from construction workers and waitresses to firemen, secretaries and cleaning women.
Working showcases the individuals' occupations and also laments their lost hopes and dreams - taking the average worker's viewpoint and showing that he or she is anything but average.
Current Auditions...
LOVE! VALOUR! COMPASSION!
Eight gay men.
Three long weekends.
One last summer.
Winner of the 1995 Tony Award for Best Play, Love! Valour! Compassion! is a monumental exploration into life, love and loss at the end of the millennium.
As hilarious as it is heart-breaking, Terence McNally's seminal work captures the zeitgeist of 90s America and forces the question - when reality hits home, who and what is most important to us?
We are looking for a diverse group of 7 strong character actors to stage this seldom performed piece.
Workshop: Wednesday 26 February
