Who I'd like to meet: 2009/10 Season
The History Boys (Sept. 24-Nov. 1):
Winner of a Tony® Award and Olivier Award, Bennett's international comedy chronicles the final year of eight clever young history students at a British boarding school in pursuit of sex, sport, and admission into Oxford or Cambridge. Two teachers become rivals for the hearts and minds of the boys in this hilarious and provocative new play.
Rabbit Hole (Oct. 22-Dec. 20):
As improbably funny as it is heartbreaking, this story of a family in crisis won the 2007 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. Becca and Howie had the perfect life – a great marriage, a beautiful house, and a lovely son. But after a tragic accident, the couple faces the challenges of surviving great loss and making a life with the family that remains. Director James J. Christy and Philadelphia actress Grace Gonglewski return to bring this modern masterpiece to life.
Blue Door (Jan. 14-Mar. 21):
Director Walter Dallas returns to the Arden after helming the notable production The Piano Lesson. Johnnie Hobbs, Jr. stars as Lewis, a successful mathematics professor whose wife has just left him. So begins his sleepless night where a series of ancestors visit him and reveal the hardships and victories of their lives. Lyrical, funny and poignant, Lewis' journey is thought-provoking window into the soul of one African American man grappling at the intersection of his own identity and his cultural history.
Romeo and Juliet (Feb. 25-Apr. 4):
Remember what it feels like to love with abandon and surrender to raw elation? We give you an unadulterated Romeo and Juliet. Come experience Shakespeare's masterpiece, without pretense or gimmick, and tap into the heart of this timeless love story.
Sunday in the Park with George (May 27-July 4):
Sondheim's Pulitzer Prize-winning musical was inspired by Georges Seurat's stunning masterpiece, Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Brimming with beauty and light, Sunday in the Park celebrates the power of creation. Jeffrey Coon (Seurat) and Kristine Fraelich (Dot) star in this passionate production featuring Sondheim's full orchestrations and a commanding ensemble of 15. Hold on to your hat!
