An
amazing collection of new discoveries, misplaced popular favorties,
a reprise,
a world premiere and raw fun - the most well-rounded season
in the area.
...and
Yes! - a Season Ticket Special* a
$1 service charge applies |
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.

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.

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
want to thank all of you who have supported us.
We are so proud to be a part

Coming to Rover Dramawerks is indeed more effort
that clicking
the remote and letting some huge
multinational corporation turn your brain
to mush.
When you enter the theatre, we are honored and humbled.
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?
See you at the theatre, neighbor.
