Steven Sater's NEW YORK ANIMALS, Return of SENSE & SENSIBILITY on Tap for Bedlam's 2015-16 Season
Bedlam has announced that they will open their 2015/2016 season with the world premiere of NEW YORK ANIMALS, a new play by two-time Tony Award winner Steven Sater (Spring Awakening) with music by six-time Grammy Award winner and three-time Academy Award winner Burt Bacharach, and directed by Eric Tucker.
NEW YORK ANIMALS will begin previews Saturday, November 14, 2015, at The New Ohio (154 Christopher Street), open Sunday, November 29, 2015, and end a strictly limited engagement on Sunday, December 20, 2015. Tickets range from $30 to $49 and are available at www.newohiotheatre.org or www.theatrebedlam.org. NEW YORK ANIMALS plays Tuesdays through Sundays.
A cast of four weaves a tapestry of the hysterical and tragic stories of 21 New Yorkers, as their lives intersect during a long, rainy day in Manhattan.
A workshop production of NEW YORK ANIMALS directed by John Flynn played Los Angeles' Rogue Machine Theatre in the summer of 2010.
The return engagement of Bedlam's sold-out, critically acclaimed production of Jane Austen's SENSE & SENSIBILITY, adapted for the stage by Kate Hamill, will begin previews Sunday, January 24, 2016, and open Sunday, February 14, 2016, at The Gym at Judson (243 Thompson Street), for a limited 6 week engagement.
Directed by Eric Tucker and starring Andrus Nichols, SENSE & SENSIBILITY will play Tuesdays through Sundays, with tickets ranging from $49 to $99 (Select Premium). After seeing the original production in 2014, The Wall Street Journal's Terry Teachout raved, "Bedlam is a band of gifted unknowns who can make theatrical magic in an empty room. That's what Bedlam is doing with SENSE AND SENSIBILITY. No theater troupe in America is doing more creative classical revivals."
Tickets for both shows go on sale Monday, August 17, 2015, at www.TheatreBedlam.org.
Bedlam is a company committed to the immediacy of the relationship between the actor and the audience. With large ideas and modest budgets, Bedlam creates theatre in a flexible, raw space, presenting new writing, contemporary reappraisals of the classics and small-scale musical theatre. Their productions always include the audience. Storytelling is paramount. Bedlam believes that innovative use of space can collapse aesthetic distance and bring the audience into direct contact with the dangers and delicacies of life--inciting laughter and chaos, provoking thought and recreating the thrill of live experience.
