MCC Theater's Interests
|
| General | Guided by the artistic vision of Robert LuPone, Bernard Telsey and William Cantler, MCC Theater brings together exceptional theater artists to produce works that force us to reexamine the world we live in through the unique perspectives of extraordinary writers. MCC Theater is dedicated to discovering and developing challenging, engrossing theater to present on our main stage, while simultaneously nurturing the development of emerging young voices through our literary and education programs. | | Movies | Movies are great, but I go to the theater. | | Television | TV is okay, but I go to the theater. | | Heroes | We believe in the artist as the primary force in creating memorable theater. We believe each experience in the theater should be an event where artists in playwriting, acting, direction and design combine to induce an emotional reaction in the audience, getting them personally involved in the production at hand. We feel that this is best done with new work, which allows the audience to hear new voices and perspectives that can mingle with the audience's own experiences, resulting in a fresh discovery of the world around them and creating a dialogue that continues long after the curtain falls. |

About me:
Eskimos have fifty words for snow,

Jan and Adam’s marriage:
F----d

Something’s gone very wrong behind the idyllic façade of Jan and Adam’s Brooklyn brownstone. At 9:10 p.m., they’re reveling in the freedom of having waved off their young son, Greg, to a neighborhood sleepover. By 9:15 p.m., they’re both in tears. By 9:25 p.m., things are way past tears. Alternately funny and frightening, Fifty Words is an expansive look at modern marriage, as seen through the looking glass of one couple’s long night’s journey into day.
Playwright Michael Weller shot to stardom with his powerful anti-war drama, Moonchildren. Weller’s unique voice, at once moving and revelatory, has garnered acclaim throughout three decades of productions at distinguished theatres such as Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre Company and New York’s Circle-in-the-Square and Second Stage. Renowned actor and director Austin Pendleton will helm this brutal and insightful new work by one of America’s most perceptive playwrights.
MCC Theater is Off-Broadway's hottest destination. And our upcoming 08/09 Season proves it, with three electrifying world premiere productions: Fifty Words, Michael Weller's powerful examination of modern marriage, The Break of Noon, a probing look at faith by Playwright-in-Residence, Neil LaBute, and Coraline, with music and lyrics by smart-rock iconoclast Stephin Merritt of The Magnetic Fields. Don't miss this opportunity to secure seats for all three productions at 60% off the full ticket price. Go to mcctheater.org to subscribe!
