MARVELL REPERTORY COMPANY plays OFF BROADWAY at the ABINGDON THEATRE ARTS COMPLEX
22 Actors 6 weeks 4 plays/3 productions in rep

Marvell Repertory Theatre is New York's only professional theatre - and one of only a handful in the entire nation - devoted exclusively to producing new and enduring works in rotating repertory. This exciting company is performing at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex (312 West 36th Street 1st Floor). Marvell Rep's inaugural season includes four magnificent, underperformed works from the world literature. Starting- February 18th (opens 2/22) with the bill of "Nora", Ingmar Bergman's adaptation of Ibsen's A Doll's House; and "In the Shadow of the Glen", the darkly funny one-act by J.M. Synge. "Blood Wedding", by Federico Garcia Lorca begins March 5th (opens 3/11); to be followed by the New York premiere of Joseph C. Landis' translation of "The Dybbuk" by S. Ansky on March 6th (opens 3/13).

The creative team for the season: directed by Lenny Leibowitz; with scenery by Tijana Bjelajac; costumes by Susan Nester; lighting by Nicholas Houfek and sound by Daniel Dungan. Original music by Adam Knauss for "Blood Wedding" & "The Dybbuk"; and choreography by: Katie Ostrowski for "Blood Wedding" and by Gabrielle Orcha for "The Dybbuk". The Acting Company will be announced next week.

Lenny Leibowitz (artistic director) and Amy Estes (managing director) founded Marvell Repertory Theatre in 2010 with the intention of giving NYC area theatre actors and audiences the kind of full-immersion theatre experience that a rotating rep can provide. Marvell Rep's first public performance was a workshop production of Before the Rain, an original musical with an all African American cast and a blues and gospel score, at the Producers' Club in May, 2010. This event reflected a primary focus of the mission, the development of new plays and musicals and the advancement of the art form.
