The Regent Theatre in Stoke-on-Trent today announced a new pantomime star, a new producer team and a special one-off introductory ticket offer for this year's pantomime, Aladdin.
Lincoln Center Theater (under the direction of Andre Bishop, Artistic Director, and Bernard Gersten, Executive Producer) has extended the limited engagement run of its critically acclaimed production of BLOOD AND GIFTS, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher, for an additional week through Sunday, January 8 at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater (150 West 65 Street).
In The Book of Mormon, the young Ugandan ingénue sings of a fantasy world she imagines where all the warlords are friendly. And while in J.T. Rogers' intriguing drama of 1980s American foreign policy, Blood and Gifts, Afghan warlord Abdullah Kahn isn't exactly depicted as a saint, the author paints him as a man deeply dedicated to his family and the culture of his people who, like a typical American father, has job-related headaches (trying to secure weapons to defend his soil against the Soviets) and can't understand the music his son listens to (Rod Stewart's 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy' and Tina Turner's 'What's Love Got to Do with It'). As played by Bernard White, he is a humble and patriotic man of dignity.
