OK - full disclosure time:

We're not quite as Devil-May-Care as we sound.
WE ARE RAISING TICKET PRICES

Between skyrocketing costs and plummeting grants and donations we HAVE to protect ourselves and stay with you for a good long while.

We kept prices from OVER TWO YEARS AGO to help all of us weather the economy. We're still doing fine, but none of our costs are as kindly as we have been -
PLUS our show quality keeps climbing like a rocket.
We want to continue to thrill you.


BUY NOW - SAVE !!

That said,
if you buy before the end of this season, officially
closing night of Adventures in Mating, October 2, you get
last year's season ticket price
which is actually TWO PLUS YEARS AGO prices, right?


But just LOOK at this season and tell me you'll find a smarter
more balanced one anywhere. Buy now and ignore the increase.

Rover Dramawerks' 2010-2011 Season

Morphic Resonance
by Katherine Burger
Directed by Carol M. Rice

October 28 - November 20, 2010 at the Cox Building Playhouse

Cleome, an acerbic New York writer, finds banter easier than love, whether with her father or her noncommittal lover, Wallace. While Cleome's and Wallace's relationship flounders, their best friends Alice and Jim fall head over heels. Alice's diagnosis with cancer sets in sharp contrast the things we fear and the things we fear to lose. Both comical and moving, Morphic Resonance is a classic metaphor for learning that which may be impossible to know as individuals. Rover is pleased to bring back this critical and audience favorite!

Sunday in New York
by Norman Krasna
( screenwriter of The Devil and Mrs. Jones )
Directed by Lisa Devine

January 20 - February 12, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse

Eileen has discovered that being a "good girl" makes it hard to get a man. But when she becomes literally attached to one on a crowded Fifth Avenue bus and the two of them are caught in a downpour, how does she explain the two of them lounging in bathrobes to her would-be fiancé? A small fib, made to avoid a misunderstanding, quickly grows enormous and our heroine is hard-pressed to convey the truth which will save her engagement - and her reputation. A wildly funny Broadway success by one of America's masters of comedy.

One Day Only 16!
Rover returns with our famous 24-hour play
festival at the Courtyard Theater!

Seven short plays concept to curtain in just ONE DAY!

February 19, 2011, Courtyard Theater


The Crowd You're in With

by Rebecca Gilman (Regional Premiere)
( author of Spinning into Butter and Boy Gets Girl )

Directed by Carol M. Rice

March 24 - April 9, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse

To beget or not to beget? That is the question. At a Fourth of July backyard barbeque, three couples and a single friend discuss all sides of the pros and cons of starting a family. With generous use of humor, the play explores both the surface interactions and deeper undercurrents of contemporary life - and whether or not to bring a baby into it. The debates of life-choice issues people all cope with are lively, funny, and intelligent, affecting both the mind and the heart. The newest hit play from the acclaimed author of Spinning into Butter and Boy Gets Girl.

Murder at the Orient Burlesque
by Carol M. Rice ( World Premiere )
(author of last year's hit Around the World in 80 Days)


When Russian princess Katherina Anastasia Faberge Antoinette joins the cast of the burlesque at Christie's Orient Palace, the trouble begins, so it's not a surprise when she turns up dead after only one performance. As Detective Red Flannegan quickly discovers, everyone has a motive, and the Czarina was not only shot, but poisoned, stabbed, electrocuted and strangled. The question then becomes not who did it, but who did what, and is there anyone who didn't? A riotous comedy by Rover's Artistic Director and the author of our Around the World in 80 Days.


One Day Only 17!
Rover 's second installment this year of our famous 24-hour
play festivals at the Courtyard Theater!

Seven short plays concept to curtain in just ONE DAY!

A white-knuckle Mach-2 ride through
everything you love and hate about theatre.

June 25, 2011, Courtyard Theater


Little Mary Sunshine
Book, Music and Lyrics by Ray Besoyan

July 14-30, 2011 at the Courtyard Theater

Little Mary Sunshine is a charming musical spoof in the vein of Gilbert and Sullivan. With stalwart Forest Rangers, a sweet and lovely heroine and her "naughty" sidekick, a chorus of simpering school girls, and a villainous Indian, it pokes fun at the overly earnest heroes and heroines, dastardly villains and every coquettish soubrettes of bygone eras. Containing thundering choruses, schmaltzy waltzes, lilting duets, and deliberately corny songs, it will quickly win your heart. One of the most successful ever Off Broadway stage shows!


Black Comedy
by Peter Shaffer
Directed by Lisa Devine

September 1-24, 2011 at the Cox Building Playhouse

Lovesick and desperate, sculptor Brindsley Miller has embellished his apartment with furniture and objects d'arte "borrowed" from the absent antique collector next door hoping to impress his fiancée's pompous father and a wealthy art dealer. The catch? A blown fuse has plunged the apartment into darkness...just as said neighbor arrives home. Unexpected guests, mixed up cocktails, and the flame of a single lighter impede Brindsley's frantic attempts to set things right before light is restored. A brilliant farce described by the International Herald Tribune as "Pure hilarity."

We are your neighbors, your business partners, your friends.

We also just so happen to be the most
courageous little theater in town.

Birds of a feather... eh?

Morphic Resonance
Sunday in New York
The Crowd You're in With
by Katherine Burger

Two "worldly" writers are too "smart" to fall in love.

Both comical and moving, their less refined best friends teach by example that which may be impossible to know as individuals.

by Norman Krasna
author of The Devil and Mrs. Jones

Trapped in bathrobes with a strange man, how do you explain this to your hopeful future husband?

by Rebecca Gilman (Regional Premiere)
author of Spinning into Butter and Boy Gets Girl

To beget or not to beget?
That is the question.

The many answers can be amazing.
Murder at the Orient Burlesque
Little Mary Sunshine
Black Comedy

by Carol M. Rice
( World Premiere )
author of last year's hit Around the World in 80 Days

Murder, motives, mayhem.
Alibis as full of holes as the fishnet stockings in wardrobe.

Another world premiere!
