MAN OF LA MANCHA, ROARING and More Set for Austin Playhouse's 2013-14 Season

By:

Austin Playhouse has announced its 2013-2014 season, filled with extraordinary comedies, dramas, and musicals. Season tickets are on sale now. Call 512.476.0084 or online here.

Man of La Mancha by Dale Wasserman, Joe Darion, & Mitch Leigh

September 6 - October 6, 2013
Against all odds, a man sees good and innocence in a world filled with darkness and despair. This lyrical adventure is a classic tale of the triumph of man over his own follies.

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
(November/December 2013)
When ten houseguests gather on a secluded island, the situation is ripe for misfortune. One by one, each guest meets their fate. Who's the murderous culprit? And who will be next?

The Liar by David Ives
(January/February 2014)
Paris, 1643. From absurd misunderstandings and a series of breathtakingly intricate lies springs one of the Western world's greatest comedies, a sparkling urban romance as fresh as the day Pierre Corneille wrote it, brilliantly adapted for today by All in the Timing's David Ives.

Roaring by Cyndi Williams
(April 2014)
At an underground retirement center a mysterious phenomenon traps residents and visitors, isolating them from the rest of the world. In the ensuing hours, ghosts appear, romances spark, and the youthful spirits of the past are released.

The Sunshine Boys by Neil Simon
(May/June 2014)
Al and Willie were top-billed vaudevillians for over forty years. Now they aren't even speaking. When CBS requests them for a "History of Comedy" retrospective, a grudging reunion brings the two back together, along with a flood of memories, miseries and laughs.

All titles are subject to performance rights availability. Austin Playhouse reserves the right to substitute a season title.

"...man has the potential to become a whole new animal. One that trusts instead of fears. One that agrees when it makes sense to agree. That finds the way to live, because life has become for him - has finally become - a sacred thing."

Nearing the end of the Cold War, two men - a clever, yet cynical Russian and an idealistic young American - discuss and debate politics, life, and the future of the free world on the outskirts of Geneva. As arms negotiators, they explore the obstacles their countries face on the path toward peace. Can personal bonds bridge political chasms?

Starring Austin Playhouse company members Michael Stuart and Benjamin Summers, and directed by A. Skola Summers (Gruesome Playground Injuries, Men of Tortuga).
