New Victory Theatre Announces 2011 Fall Season

The New Victory Theater will launch its 2011-12 season with the New York premiere of The Little Prince written by Rick Cummins and John Scoullar, an enchanting and faithful adaptation of the French fable by Antoine de Saint- Exupéry. In this production, creations by Monkey Boys Productions, the puppet builders behind Broadway's Avenue Q and Little Shop of Horrors, will share the stage with actors. The Little Prince will run from October 1 through October 16.

Following is the U.S. premiere of White, a quirky contemporary play for theater-goers ages two to five by Scotland's acclaimed Catherine Wheels Theatre Company (Hansel and Gretel, New Victory 2009). Winner of the Fringe First, Total Theatre and Herald Angel awards at the 2010 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, White runs from October 13 through November 13.

The Reduced Shakespeare Company, a.k.a. the "Bad Boys of Abridgement," returns to The New Victory with the New York premiere of their new show, The Complete World of Sports (abridged). In this raucous and irreverent satire, Reed Martin, Matt Rippy and Austin Tichenor send-up every sport known to man since the beginning of time!

Thanksgiving through New Year's at The New Victory is filled with thrilling shows for the whole family. Untapped!, a mash-up of tap dance, funk, hip-hop and rock music from Australia, will run from November 11 through November 27, and Bai Xi, a circus spectacular from Shanghai featuring the world's premiere company of Chinese acrobats, will run from December 2 through January 1.
