2nd Story Theatre Announces 2008-2009 Theater Season
2nd Story Theatre's Artistic Director, Ed Shea, recently announced the theater's 2008-2009 season. The season is as follows:
Another Part of the Forest by Lillian Hellman
September 26 - October 26
"Before they were known as 'The Little Foxes,' the Hubbard children, Ben, Oscar, and Regina, lived under the reign of their war profiteering father, Marcus, who presided over this powerful family. In this evocative 'prequel' by Lillian Hellman, the Hubbard heirs play a high-stakes game of roulette, putting the family name and fortune on the table."
The Miracle Worker by William Gibson
November 20 - December 14
"Almost blind herself, Annie Sullivan takes a position in the Keller household to reach their young daughter Helen, left blind and deaf from scarlet fever. With a dynamic gift for teaching, Annie breaks through Helen's darkness, leading her to a world of light. It's William Gibson's robust story of love, faith, and dedication."
A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams
January 23 - February 22
"Steamy and sensual, it's Tennessee Williams' provocatively stunning story of the indomitable Blanche DuBois. A fading Southern flower, Blanche desperately seeks a new life by moving to gritty New Orleans, but the tempestuous Stanley has other plans. Their potent struggle for power erupts into a torrid finale filled with passion and desire."
The Dark at the Top of the Stairs by William Inge
March 13 - April 11
"After Bus Stop and Picnic, William Inge reached into his past and penned this memorable tale. Young Sonny Flood (read young Inge) witnesses his mother Cora as she rigorously struggles to hold her family together in a small mid-western town. Fiercely protective of her young son and ever-impatient with her distant husband, Cora maintains dignity in a world that is growing ever dark."
Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller
May 1 - May 31
"Willie Loman is every man who held a job, raised a family, loved his wife, and dreamed of better. He's a traveling salesman who can't foresee his next destination; slowly inching towards the end of his road. Heartbreaking and breathtaking, Arthur Miller's hard-hitting masterpiece is one of the greatest works to grace the American stage. Attention must be paid."
Individual ticket prices for the 2008 -2009 season are $25. The five-play subscription package is $100.
Subscription packages and single tickets are on sale at the 2nd Story Theatre box office at 28 Market St., Warren, RI., or by phone at 401-247-4200.
