Zora Neale Hurston's SPUNK

Directed by Tamilla Woodard
Choreography by nicHi douglas
Traditional music and hymns by many artists with new songs and arrangements by Nehemiah Luckett
Music Direction by John Bronston
Venue: Yale Repertory Theatre, 1120 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT

First Rehearsal: August 7, 2025
Tech Begins: September 25, 2025
First Preview: October 3, 2025 (Previews on October 3, 4, 6, 7, 8)
Opening: October 9, 2025

SYNOPSIS

Spunk, written by Zora Neale Hurston in 1935, is an early American play with music crafted from text adapted from her 1925 short story alongside the music of the Black South. This music is based on Hurston’s vast recordings of folk tunes, spirituals, and hymns from her cultural anthropology work in rural towns, work sites, chain gangs, and places of worship and leisure.
Set in an all-Black town in Florida in the 1930’s, Spunk tells the story of a tall handsome guitar-playing stranger, who comes to town looking for work. When he falls in love with Lina, who is already married, the laws of man, the power of hoodoo and divinity of love all collide in this fable about the triumph of love over evil.
NOTE: This production is not the 1989 George C. Wolfe play of the same name, based on three Hurston short stories.

HEDDA GABLER

By Henrik Ibsen
Translated from Norwegian by Paul Walsh
Directed by James Bundy
Venue: Yale Repertory Theatre, 1120 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT

First Tech Rehearsal: November 10
Previews: November 28, 29, December 1, 2, 3
Opening: December 4
Closing: December 20

SYNOPSIS

Freshly arrived from her honeymoon to her elegant, new-purchased villa, Hedda Tesman (née Gabler) wasn’t born and raised for a life of contented domesticity. When a former lover returns to town, her husband’s academic career and finances suddenly hang in the balance, along with her social standing. A propulsive, fiery, and often funny meditation on romantic dreams and bourgeois ambitions, Hedda Gabler is the portrait of a woman who will stop at nothing to gain control over her own destiny.

RHINOCEROS

By Eugene Ionesco
Translated by Derek Prouse
Adapted by Frank Galati
Directed by Liz Diamond

First Tech Rehearsal: February 27
Previews: March 6, 7, 9, 10, 11
Opening: March 12
Closing: March 28

SYNOPSIS

An ordinary Sunday in a small French town. Berenger and his friend enjoy a drink on a café terrace. Suddenly a rhinoceros charges across the square, crushing everything in its path. A drunken dream...or...? As neighbors and friends begin sprouting hides and horns, the shy, shambolic Berenger must make a choice: take a stand against –– or join –– the rampaging herd. Eugene Ionesco’s Rhinoceros is his tragicomic cri de cœur, imploring each of us to resist the call to fall in line.

FURLOUGH’S PARADISE

By a.k. payne
Directed by abigail jean-baptise

First tech: April 17
Previews: April 24, 25, 27, 28, 29
Opening: April 30
Closing: May 16

SYNOPSIS

There's been a drought on their childhood's road and two cousins come home dry-eyed and grieving. Sade, on a three-day furlough from prison. Mina, departing a strangely idyllic west coast. As all time ticks towards the correctional officer's arrival, these two wrestle with all they have never said, with the fallibility of memory itself, and with visions of a future they are bound to create. Winner of the prestigious 2025 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, a.k. payne’s Furlough’s Paradise is a lyrical meditation on grief, home, kinship, and a utopia yet to be realized.
