2009 - 2010 Season

 

REASONS TO BE PRETTY   by Neil LaBute

October 24 - November 22, 2009     Southeastern Premiere

An edgy and darkly comic love story about the impossibility of love and the subjectivity of beauty. The author of This Is How It Goes and Fat Pig once again takes no prisoners, tackling the taboos and unspoken truths of contemporary American life.

"The best new Broadway play of the Season! "
- Time Magazine

FARRAGUT NORTH   by Beau Willimon

December 26 - January 24, 2010     Southeastern Premiere

During a tight presidential primary race, a wunderkind press secretary's meteoric rise falls prey to the backroom politics of more seasoned Washington operatives. This Off-Broadway smash is an inside look into the world of politics ~ an intriguing tale about loyalty, obsessive lust for power and the costs one will endure to achieve it.

"Fast-paced! Has the topical thrill of an insider's tour of recent events!"
- New York Times

BLASTED   by Sarah Kane

February 27 - March 28, 2010     Southeastern Premiere

In 1995 BLASTED opened in London, making front-page headlines and outraging critics with its depiction of rape, torture and violence in civil war. Last season it finally reached New York, where it was produced off-Broadway to rave reviews, making the Top Ten lists of New York Times, New York Magazine, Time Magazine, Associated Press, Newsday and Time Out New York. Although it has been produced worldwide, this is only the second professional production in the United States.

WARNING: Contains profanity, full frontal nudity, explicit sexual activity and very graphic violence. No one under 17 will be admitted.

"Astounding drama! Blasted features acts of sexual assault and mutilation that would make Quentin Tarantino blanch. Yet, there is deep satisfaction to be derived from this work. It's the pleasure that comes from being compelled to follow an authentic and original voice into theatrical territory you have never visited before."
- New York Times

August 14 - September 12, 2010

When their young son is away on his first sleepover, a married couple has their first night alone together in years. Will they renew a vital spark that's been nearly smothered - or will provisional civility explode into fiery chaos? An expansive look at modern marriage that is alternately funny and frightening.
