Two seasoned theatre professionals, one from New York and one a Detroit native, have joined forces to launch the Detroit Public Theatre (DPT). Detroit's newest performing arts institution will open in residence at the Max M. & Marjorie S. Fisher Music Center in October 2015. The inaugural season of Detroit Public Theatre opens with the Michigan Premiere of the dark comedy, American Hero by Bess Wohl, on October 30, 2015. The line up continues through May 2016 in the Robert A. and Maggie Allessee Rehearsal Hall at the Max with three more productions - including Dominique Morisseau's powerful and timely Detroit '67, and From Broadway to Obscurity, a musical journey by Eric Gutman, a homegrown artist and leading Broadway player.
Eric Gutman is back home and ready to share his life in a new one man show. After long and lengthy years as a Gypsy in New York and on tour, Eric Gutman was performing for almost three years in the Tony and Grammy Award-winning sensation, Jersey Boys. In his run with this extraordinary show, Eric performed over 1,200 shows in six different roles (including three of the Four Seasons) as well as one of the few actors to play live instruments on stage.
Sometimes when a theatre tackles a Broadway show that has recently ended, comparisons to that show make it tough not to compare the two, but that is not the case with Meadow Brook Theatre's production of Next to Normal. Not only did it do the original Broadway show justice with talented cast connecting with the audience emotionally, this production took an award winning show making it their own and standing out because of it.
"When the world that once had color fades to white and gray and black…" sings Diana, a wife and mother, learning to live with her bipolar disorder. How does a "normal" suburban family cope with the stress, the treatment, the future? "Next to Normal"-winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama-is one family's story of how to survive when the world seems to be crumbling.
