Joe
Turner's Come and Gone
January 26 - February 19, 2012
August Wilson’s ten play cycle
chronicling a century’s experience of black Americans is one of our
nation’s great theatrical accomplishments. THEATREWORKS has produced
two of these plays: Fences, set in the 1950’s, and
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, set in the 1920’s. We think
Joe Turner may be the greatest play of this great series.
Theatre 'd Art presents
The Show Trial
by Jeff Keele
January 27 -
February 12, 2012
If you saw
The Proud Sons of Porlock you got a taste of what The
Show Trial has to offer. For those of you who
haven’t, The Show Trial is a black farce, a satire on
theatre and its role in the struggle between the classes. In an
unnamed Eastern European land, a new form of theatre has made its
way to the stage: the “prisoner play”, in which a convicted criminal
stars in a recreation of his life and the events leading up to his
crime before he is executed in front of a live audience. There
are epic sword fights, murders, knife fights with dogs, riding
competitions, robots, theatrical singularities, pocket universes,
conspiracies, over-the-top melodrama, and it all ends in a riot -
never a dull
moment.

In the Next Room, or
the vibrator play
by Sarah
Ruhl
February 2 -
19
At the twilight of the Victorian age, a new medical device is developed to calm women diagnosed with “hysteria.” As Dr. Givings pioneers this intimate new therapy, his young wife becomes determined to investigate the experiments that have patients leaving the procedure room with a rosy glow. Ruhl’s stylish comedy pulses and hums along as it dispels old-fashioned notions
of female sexuality, intimacy and marriage at the dawn of the age of electricity.
