Dramawerks' 2009-2010 Season |
Premiere!
by Dale Wasserman
(author
of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)
Directed
by Jason Rice
From the creator of one of the
most famous of petty tyrants comes a look at the petty tyranny of fame. Gil is
the comedic playwright of his day, doomed to hit after hit when all he
wants is to be taken seriously, darkly, academically. Like...dare he say it? The
Bard. A hilarious series of events leads to the discovery of a "new"
long lost tragedy by William Shakespeare. When is a forgery become art itself?
Is truth absolute or a function of aspiration, democracy, and marketing?

| Rabbit
Hole
by David Lindsay-Abaire
(author
of Fuddy Meers and Kimberly Akimbo)
Winner of the 2007 Pulitzer
Prize.
Directed by Rick Tuman
Becca and Howie have everything
a family could want until the unthinkable happens, turning their world upside
down. Their well-meaning family members do their best to help (and deal with the
tragedy themselves), as everyone tries to come to grips with their grief. Rabbit
Hole charts their bittersweet search for comfort in the darkest of places and
for a path that will lead them all back into the light of day.

Mark
Twain’s
A Murder, a Mystery & a Marriage
by
Aaron Posner and James Sugg
(based on a long-lost short
story by Mark Twain)
Directed by Carol M. Rice
Mary
wants to tie the knot with her sweetheart Hugh, but if they walk down the aisle,
she will be disinherited. The shocking discovery of a dastardly deed further complicates
her choice and may throw her into the arms of a “mysterious stranger.”
Who is the good guy and who is the bad? Will Mary marry the wrong man? Or will
love and truth save the day? Only the wit, wisdom, and satirical humor of Mark
Twain could answer these questions as this outrageous bluegrass musical unfolds
to its just conclusion!

Everything
in the Garden
by Edward Albee
(author of Who's
Afraid of Virginia Woolf and The Zoo Story)
Directed
by Lisa Devine
"Keeping up with the Joneses" is a well-known
sport in suburbia: McMansions, luxury cars, private schools.... Jenny and Richard
are suburbanites living just above their means. When Jenny receives an unusual
offer to make more money than they have ever dreamed of, money and possessions
seduce their lives, and the slippery slope of compromise, convenience, and conspicuous
consumption threaten to lay waste to the façade of their calm, middle-class
neighborhood. A modern morality play that has never been more timely.
Rover
revives this, our Premiere Production:
The show that started it all.

Dilemmas
With Dinner
by Robin Roberts
Directed by Mark-Brian
Sonna
You think you've had some bad dinner parties? Brooke, an ambitious
junior executive, invites her boss and his wife over for dinner in the hopes of
securing a promotion. Her husband comes home suffering a back injury from a now
ex-employee who won't take "fired" for an answer. The hired help turns
out to be the boss' ex-daughter-in-law. A riotous farce complete with doors slamming,
appetizers flying, and candlesticks attacking - all before dinner is even served.
And Brooke's boss has an announcement to make....

Adventures in Mating
by Joseph
Scrimshaw
Directed by Lisa Devine
YOU play the role of cruel fate in
a romantic comedy for cynics of all ages! When a dysfunctional couple can't make
simple decisions, like ordering red or white wine, the audience votes and the
show takes off in wildly different directions. Soup or salad? A slap or a kiss?
Life or death? YOU DECIDE! With multiple storylines and endings, plus ever-changing
scene options, you can't see it all if you only see it once! A "create your
own adventure" story for grown-ups.
