The Times They Are A-Changin' Extends Old Globe Run to March 12

The Times They Are A-Changin,' the highly anticipated collaboration between Twyla Tharp and Bob Dylan, has extended its run at the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego; it will now play an extra week through March 12th.

The show will begin its run at the Old Globe on January 25th and will officially open on February 9th; it was originally to have closed on March 5th.

Michael Arden (The Secret Garden concert, Bare), Thom Sesma (Man of La Mancha revival, La Cage aux Folles) and Jenn Collela (Urban Cowboy, Slut) star in the show. As with Movin' Out, in which she directed and choreographed a narrative dance piece set to the songs of Billy Joel, Tharp will envision a theatrical world based on the songs of legendary folk-rock singer/songwriter Dylan. The piece will also feature Justin Bohon, Joshua Dean, Albert Guerzon, Charlie Hodges, Doug Kreeger, Marty Lawson, Tamara Levinson, Jason McDole, Jonathan Nosan, Joseph Putignano, Sean Stewart and Jackie Seiden in its ensemble.

The Times They Are A-Changin' is "set within a low-rent traveling circus run by Capt. Arab, whose wagon hasn't moved from its location in some time – though not by lack of effort from his ragtag band of clowns and performers. One such performer is the animal trainer Cleo, a young woman exploited by Capt. Arab and loved by his son, Coyote. Coyote longs for a world outside the confines of the family business, and as the circus show plays out, he must decide whether to flee or stay, and if he does stay, how to inspire change within the troupe," according to press notes. Sesma will play Capt. Arab, while Colella and Arden will be featured as Cleo and Coyote, respectively.

The show's design team will feature Santo Loquasto (sets and costumes) and Donald Holder (lighting), while Michael Dansicker will handle musical direction, orchestrations and arrangements.
