Directed by ATC Associate Artistic Director Stephen Wrentmore, The Great Gatsby, adapted by Simon Levy, marks the fifth and final year of ATC's AMERICA PLAYS! Celebrating Great American Stories series and plays from February 25 - March 17, 2012 continuing its run in Phoenix at the Herberger Theater Center from March 22 - April 8, 2012.

Hardly an easy task to successfully mount Ernest Thompson's heartwarming and funny On Golden Pond with the 1980 film starring Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Jane Fonda still so vivid in the mind! Well, I'm here to say that the current mounting at the Colony Theatre is of 5 star calibre all the way and not to be missed.

The Colony Theatre is thrilled to present the second production of its 37th season of shows - its first ever with six productions instead of five! Hal Linden & Christina Pickles will star in the classic, ON GOLDEN POND, written by Ernest Thompson and directed by Cameron Watson (Trying, Grace and Glorie).

Set against the interesting backdrop of flowing petticoats in a sea of celestial dots of light, Lauren Gunderson's charmingly lyrical new play SILENT SKY is now enjoying a fully-staged World Premiere production at South Coast Repertory through May 1. With a penchant for subtle wit and sincerely earnest dialogue, Gunderson has attempted a nicely-crafted 'work-in-progress' that gives us a headstrong heroine nerd to root for from America's little-known historical margins.

Silent Sky, Lauren Gunderson's play about a real-life female astronomer whose research in the early 1900s altered everything we knew about the universe, will have its world premiere on the Segerstrom Stage April 1 through May 1.
