Mauckingbird Theatre Company presents a gender-bent interpretation of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by Mauckingbird Artistic Director Peter Reynolds, today, August 7-25. This production marks the company's most ambitious production to date, and, keeping true to its acclaimed reputation, will deliver a 'post-gay' performance that looks beyond gay pairings to the relationships and emotional connections of the story.
The Importance of Being Earnest runs August 7-25, 2013, at the Off-Broad Street Theater at First Baptist Church, located at 1636 Sansom St. in Philadelphia. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and $15 for students and are available by calling the Mauckingbird Theatre Company box office at (215) 923-8909 or online at www.mauckingbird.org.
Villanova University President (and Barrymore Award-winning director) the Rev. Peter M. Donohue, OSA, PhD returns to Villanova Theatre with the Philadelphia premiere of The Drowsy Chaperone, on stage November 6 - December 2, 2012. The darling of the 2006 Tony Awards, this hilarious show-within-a-show begins when a die-hard musical theatre fan puts on his favorite record - the cast album of the (fictional) 1920s musical The Drowsy Chaperone. From the scratchy crackle of his phonograph, a madcap musical magically bursts to life, transforming his humble apartment into a dazzling world of song, dance, and comic ingenuity.
