Rover 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?

October 29 - November 21, 2009, Cox Building Playhouse

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.

January 21 - February 13, 2010, Cox Building Playhouse

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!

March 4-20, 2010, Courtyard Theater

One Day Only 14!
Rover returns with our famous 24-hour play
festival at the Courtyard Theater!

Seven short plays concept to curtain in just ONE DAY!

May 1, 2010, Courtyard Theater

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.

May 20 - June 12, 2010, Cox Building Playhouse

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....

July 15 - August 7, 2010, Cox Building Playhouse

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.

September 9 - October 2, 2010, Cox Building Playhouse
