Wilbury Group Announces 2017/18 Main Series Season

The Wilbury Theatre Group's Founding Artistic Director Josh Short has announced the Group's 2017/18 Main Series Season. The exciting 6 play season includes some of our audiences favorite playwrights alongside experimental new works by the brightest theatre artists working today, including Harold Pinter's groundbreaking The Caretaker, Branden Jacob-Jenkins' Neighbors, Young Jean Lee's Church, the Pulitzer Prize winning The Skin of Our Teeth, Annie Baker's The Flick, and Sean Graney and Kevin O'Donnell's subversive new adaptation of the Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance, or The Slave of Duty.

"Our goals at The Wilbury Group have always been to engage, challenge, and inspire our audiences with the stories we tell," says Wilbury Founder and Artistic Director Josh Short. "Next season we'll be inviting our audiences to engage with us on discussions of poverty and mental illness, race, religion, power, but most importantly, empathy. Each of these productions will challenge our conceptions of compassion and understanding and we couldn't be more excited to share these imaginative and challenging productions with you."

In addition to this 6-Play Main Series Season, The Wilbury Group will be announcing 3 additional workshop and full-scale productions from our new works and experimental arm Studio W later this year, including a new adaptation of Alfred Jarry's absurdist masterpiece Ubu Roi adapted by Phoenyx Williams, our staged-reading series, and more.

Memberships for the 2017/18 season are $65-$135 and are available for purchase online at www.thewilburygroup.org, or by calling the box office at (401) 400-7100.
