STEEL MAGNOLIAS By Robert Harling
October 3–24, 2009 Johnson Theatre, TPAC
One of the most quotable works of the past twenty years, Steel Magnolias is set in Truvy's beauty salon in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana, where all the ladies who are "anybody" come to have their hair done. The outspoken, wise-cracking Truvy dispenses shampoos and free advice to the curmudgeonly Ouiser ("I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood for forty years"), the eccentric yet sensible Miss Clairee, and the respected and admired M'Lynn and her daughter Shelby, the prettiest girl in town. Filled with hilarious repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy. As the ladies come face to face with mortality, they draw on the underlying strength—and love—which give the play, and its characters, the special quality that makes them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and bad.
The Tennessee Rep production of Steel Magnolias will celebrate the history of Tennessee Repertory Theatre by bringing together two generations of Tennessee Rep actresses. Mary Jane Harvill and her daughter Marin Miller will appear together on stage for the first time, playing the roles of M’Lynn and Shelby. (Original Tennessee Rep Production: 1989/1990 Season)
A CHRISTMAS STORY By Phillip Grecian (Based on the motion picture A Christmas Story) by Jean Shepherd, Leigh Brown, and Bob Clark Novermber 21–December 19, 2009 Johnson Theatre, TPAC
Humorist Jean Shepherd's memoir of growing up in the Midwest in the 1940s follows 9-year-old Ralphie Parker in his unflappable campaign to get Santa (or anyone else) to give him a Red Ryder carbine-action, 200 shot range-model air rifle. Ralphie pleads his case before his mother, his teacher and even Santa Claus himself, at Goldblatt's Department Store. The consistent response: "You'll shoot your eye out." All the elements from the beloved motion picture are here, including the family's temperamental exploding furnace; Scut Farkas, the school bully; the boys' experiment with a wet tongue on a cold lamppost; the Little Orphan Annie decoder pin; Ralphie's father winning a lamp shaped like a woman's leg in a net stocking; Ralphie's fantasy scenarios and more. This irresistible piece of Americana is a cult classic and is guaranteed to warm the heart and tickle the funny bone.
PROOF By David Auburn Awards: 2001 Tony Award for Best Play, 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, 2001 Drama Desk Award for Best New Play, New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Play February 6–20, 2010
Johnson Theatre, TPAC
On the eve of her 25th birthday, Catherine, a troubled young woman, has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, a famous mathematician. Now, following his death, she must deal with her own volatile emotions, the arrival of her estranged sister Claire, and the attentions of Hal—one of her father’s former students. Hal hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Catherine’s father left behind. Over the long weekend that follows, a burgeoning romance and the discovery of a mysterious notebook draw Catherine into the most difficult problem of all: How much of her father's madness—or genius—has she inherited? (Original Tennessee Rep Production: 2002/2003 Season)
BIG RIVER: THE ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, Book by William Hauptman, Music and Lyrics by Roger Miller
Awards: Seven 1985 Tony Awards (including Best Musical, Best Book for Musical, and Best Original Score): 8 Drama Desk Awards. March 20–April 10 Johnson Theatre, TPAC
Mark Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck's partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck's drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.
The Tennessee Rep production of Big River will be a companion piece to Nashville Children’s Theatre’s production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (fall 2009). Both productions are featured as a part of Nashville’s “One City, One Author” celebration of Mark Twain presented by the Nashville Public Library. (Original Tennessee Rep Production: 1991/1992 Season)
