Centerstage Announces Upcoming October Events

For over 45 years, Centerstage has been Baltimore's leading professional producing theater company and a pioneer in America's regional theater movement. Their smart, bold interpretations of both classic and contemporary plays and their exceptional production values have earned the theater a reputation for innovation and excellence - as well as a loyal audience - and have helped to keep professional theater alive and thriving in Maryland.

Each year, a consistently broad range of productions in two intimate performing spaces attracts highly diverse audiences of more than 100,000 people-including thousands of fiercely loyal subscriber members, many of whom have been with the theater during its entire history. Additionally, Centerstage offers a variety of dramaturgical, community, and educational programs to broaden access and enhance the theatergoing experience, earning its honorary designation as the official State Theater of Maryland.

Centerstage has announced its upcoming October events:

Play Lab Series
This season, the Play Lab Series will feature a trio of "homegrown" talent with new works in the throes of development. Three Associate Artists with strong ties to CENTERSTAGE, and Irene Lewis' tenure, return to work in the lab. Once again we will be opening up the process to you with public rehearsals.

Dunkler-Related Disorders
By James Magruder
Oct 7-10, 2010

When Cary Dunkler, an AIDS activist at the height of the crisis, returns home to save his sexaholic brother from their mother's religious righteousness, he becomes embroiled in a decades-long delusion that turns the phrase "family values" on its head. Over one memorable Memorial Day weekend, the volatile Dunklers duke it out in Associate Artist James Magruder's corrosive comedy about food, sex, and intergenerational sin. (Mature themes)

James Magruder was long-time Resident Dramaturg at CENTERSTAGE and continues his affiliation as an Associate Artist. He is known to Baltimore audiences for his fresh, funny translations and adaptations of French classics--including The Triumph of Love and The Miser, as well as Triumph of Love the Broadway musical--and for his more personal writing, from plays short and long to his recent, and much-acclaimed, novel Sugarless.
