WHISPER HOUSE
Music and Lyrics by Duncan Sheik
Book and Lyrics by Kyle Jarrow
Directed by Peter Askin
Tony and Grammy Award-winning songwriter Duncan Sheik follows up his Broadway
sensation, Spring Awakening, with this haunting new musical. It's 1942 - at the height of
World War II - and Christopher, an imaginative young boy, is sent to live with an aunt he's
never met: Lilly, a reclusive woman who serves as the keeper of a remote lighthouse. Not
yet comfortable in his surroundings, Christopher begins to hear strange music no one else
can hear seeping through the walls. It doesn't take long for him to suspect the lighthouse
may be haunted, and these ghosts tell him that Yasuhiro, a Japanese worker that Lilly has
employed, should not be trusted. Is Christopher's imagination getting the best of him? Or
are these ghosts warning Christopher about the very real dangers that lie ahead? Whisper
House is a touching and beautiful story about how we should embrace, rather than fear, the
unknown.
Closes February 21.

LOST IN YONKERS
By Neil Simon
Directed by Scott Schwartz
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Play, Lost in Yonkers is about
finding one's way through the tangled web of family relationships without losing the sense of
self or sense of humor. Set in Yonkers, NY in 1942, the play focuses on two Young Brothers,
Arty and Jay, left in the care of their feuding relatives, Grandma Kurnitz and Aunt Bella. Lost
in Yonkers epitomizes Neil Simon's trademark mix of comedy and drama. The New York

WHAT YOU WILL
Written, Performed and Directed By Roger Rees
Tony and Olivier Award winner Roger Rees brings his tour-de-force performance about all
things Shakespeare for a limited Old Globe engagement. This historical and sometimes

by the man who has played Hamlet more than any other actor in the history of the Royal
Shakespeare Company, to some of the funniest moments ever seen live on stage-will be
the theatrical event all of San Diego will be talking about. Whether you know Roger Rees as
television's dashing tycoon Robin Colcord on "Cheers," Ambassador Lord John Marbury on
"The West Wing," Colin Marlow on "Grey's Anatomy," or from his stage triumph on Broadway
in the title role of the acclaimed Nicholas Nickleby, you won't want to miss this incomparable

THE WHIPING MAN
By Matthew Lopez
Set in Virginia following the final days of the Civil War, a Jewish Confederate soldier returns
