Next NJT Season Asks, 'Who Are We And How Did We Get Here?'
The New Jewish Theatre is proud to announce its 2019-2020 season, which opens in October. Artistic Director, Edward Coffield introduces the lineup as an examination of identity that asks, "Who are we and how did we get here?"
The opening production honors the legacy of Neil Simon with his funny and sweet play, Brighton Beach Memoir. Next comes Fully Committed, a hilarious play and a complete tour de force, featuring forty wildly diverse characters played by one actor, NJT favorite, Will Bonfiglio. Audiences will love the thought-provoking, beautiful play My Name is Asher Lev, adapted by Aaron Posner from the novel by acclaimed writer Chaim Potok. We are the Levinsons, by Wendy Kout, is a bittersweet, compelling story about parents and children, and people who come into our lives and change us. This will be only the second production of the play and a St. Louis premier. The season closes with Stephen Sondheim's Putting it Together, a witty and wonderful musical revue, featuring some of the greatest music written by the Broadway legend.
"I am thrilled to continue the tradition of theatre at the J. I think the plays and musical that comprise the 2019-20 season will engage and excite the community. In my brief time leading the New Jewish Theatre, I have learned that our audience loves the stories we share, and I know their lives are changed by that experience," Coffield said.
The NJT performs at the J's Wool Studio Theatre (2 Millstone Campus Drive, St. Louis, MO 63146). Season subscriptions are priced at $205 - $210. Subscription packages are available as a classic five-show package or the very popular NJT Flex Pass, which allocates six passes to be used at the patron's discretion. Single tickets will be available in mid-August. Subscriptions will be on sale May 13, 2019 at the NJT Box Office, by calling 314-442-3283 or online at newjewishtheatre.org
