DCT Celebrates 2008/09 Season W/ THE LITTLE FOXES 2/27-3/8
DCT Celebrates its 2008/09 Season with Lillian Hellman's - The Little Foxes February 27 - March 8
Lillian Hellman's cynical play of family greed and revenge, The Little Foxes, is her most popular piece of drama. It was acclaimed an instant hit after a hugely successful opening night in 1939. Certainly moral dissembling lies at the heart of the play: the Hubbard siblings steal, deceive, and plot against each other in their efforts to invest in one of the first cotton mills to industrialize the New South, a plan that stands to win them millions of dollars. For instance: Regina is temporarily cheated out of her share by her brothers and Aunt Birdie drinks to anesthetize the pain of having married a bully. The Hubbards are a family prone to deceit, caught in a cycle of revenge. The family plan to create a large dynasty on the toil of poor workers, who will flock to the cotton mill for its paltry wages.
Director Joseph Hellman brings together the following cast: Thomas Rinaldi (Ben Hubbard), Morgan Wright (Alexandra), Leonard Gilbert (Horace), Frank Vince (Oscar), Cathy Hurlinger (Birdie), Joan Crooks (Regina) and William A. Walker (Cal). Set/Lights/Sound Marc Smith.
Show Dates are February 27, 28, March 1, 6, 7, 8. Friday/Saturday showtime 8pm, Sunday 3pm. Tickets $21 General, $18 Senior and $13 Student.
