Red   by John Logan

HELD OVER THRU DECEMBER 11 !

November 5 - December 4, 2011

It is 1958 and abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko has just landed the biggest commission in the history of modern art; a series of murals for New York's famed Four Seasons Restaurant. Raw and provocative, this 2010 Tony Award-winning play is a searing portrait of the ambition, vulnerability and agony inherent in the art of making art.

"A fresh, exciting portrait of a brilliant mind! Red captures the dynamic relationship between an artist and his creations!"
- New York Times

The Motherf**ker with the Hat   by Stephen Adly Guirgis

January 7 - February 5, 2012

Jackie is just out of jail and trying to stay clean and sober. He turns to his AA sponsor when he suspects his longtime girlfriend, who is still into drugs, of cheating on him. What proof does he have? A man's hat has been left on the nightstand. This Broadway hit, a fast and furious study of lives in collision, is a bruising and very funny dance of love, betrayal and indecision.

"Keeps you laughing, then sends you home thinking! One of the best new plays to come to Broadway in ages!"
- Wall Street Journal

A Steady Rain   by Keith Huff

March 3 - April 1, 2012

This hard-hitting Broadway smash chronicles love and rage on the streets of Chicago. A domestic disturbance call sends two cops, friends since childhood, on a harrowing journey that will test their loyalties and change their lives forever. As their lifelong friendship is put to the ultimate test, both men must deal with honor and loyalty in the face of adversity.

"Fresh, authentic, brutally uncompromising yet not sensationalized! A vivid, intricately layered script!"
- Time Magazine

Time Stands Still   by Donald Margulies

May 5 - June 3, 2012

Sarah and James, a photojournalist and a foreign correspondent, have been together for nine years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. When her battlefield injuries force them to return home to New York, they find their future together threatened by the prospect of a more conventional life. Penned by Pulitzer Prize Winning playwright Donald Margulies, Tony nominated Time Stands Still was hailed as one of the best new plays on Broadway!

"A powerful drama! Crackles with bright wit and intelligence! The range of feeling it explores is wide and deep."
- New York Times

"Insightful writing, the work is smart, stylish, timely and layered with an intriguing seriousness that inspires discussion after the curtain comes down -- a rarity these days"
- Associated Press

"A splendid theatrical experience! A rare play that encompasses universal issues and personal problems with equal compassionate insight!"
- Bloomberg News

Race   by David Mamet

July 7 - August 5, 2012

The Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright tackles the biggest four-letter word of all... RACE! Two lawyers, one black one white, find themselves defending a wealthy white executive against the charge of raping a young black woman. The play poses blunt questions with provocative language that will leave everyone talking long after the lights go down.

"The dialogue is tasty, the confrontations spiky and the observations more than occasionally biting!"
- Variety

"The issues it raises, particularly on the ethnic varieties of shame and the universal nature of guilt, should offer ample nutrition for many a post-theatre dinner conversation!"
- New York Times

Ruined   by Lynn Nottage

September 8 - October 7, 2012

Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, Lucille Lortel and Obie Awards. This probing work about the resilience of the human spirit during times of war is a searing variation on Brecht's Mother Courage, translated to a brothel in the conflict-torn Congo. By the author of Intimate Apparel, a GableStage hit in 2006.

"Strong and absorbing! A clear-eyed celebration of endurance! Raw and genuine! An impact that lingers!"
- New York Times
