LIVE THEATRE WORKSHOP - 5317 E. Speedway | Tucson, AZ 85712

Located on the North side of Speedway between Rosemont and Craycroft

Produced by Special Arrangement with Samuel French, Inc.

 

Neil Simon's THE DINNER PARTY concerns three formerly married couples who meet for a très sophistiqué evening at a Paris restaurant: Claude and Mariette, whose shared passion for literature outweighed their passion for each other; Andre and Gabrielle, whose sexual rapport wasn't enough to keep Andre faithful; and Albert and Yvonne, whose obsessive devotion to one another eventually resulted in them getting divorced - twice. Though seemingly invited by the gentlemen's attorney, the first guests to arrive quickly discover that their host is nowhere on the premises - a phone call to the lawyer reveals that he has no idea who gathered them together, nor why they've gathered together. In this humorous yet profound examination of marriage, the group speculates wildly about their conspicuously absent host, the apparent secrecy regarding the invitation, and the party’s true purpose.

 

“A blizzard of one liners.... The audience can bank on some good laughs.”

-The New York Daily News

 

“Frequently hilarious...An invitation you'll be glad you accepted.”

-The New York Post

Tucson: Amber Norgaard in Concert TONIGHT at Beowulf Alley

Amber Norgaard in Concert

January 30, 2011, 7:00 p.m.

Tickets - $12 up to a day in advance of the performance; $15 at the door

Purchase tickets on our website or call (520) 882-0555.

For more information, call the box office at (520) 882-0555.

Named the 2007 “Up & Coming Artist of the Year” at the Tucson Area Music Awards (TAMMIES), Norgaard “first recognized the power of music transcending language - and rhythm and beat bringing the community together” when she volunteered to work with a doctor and nurse team in a remote village in the Dominican Republic. It didn’t matter that she knew little Spanish. Norgaard eventually captured-in-song the stories of indigenous people she met in Bethel, in Alaska’s southwest bush region and while working as a community health nurse involved in public health education in the prison system, and in an HIV peer education program for kids. Described as “the love child of Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant and Melissa Etheridge”, she births and sings songs about everything that moves her - be it the ravages of PTSD and homelessness in “Hell Town” veterans, or passion itself in “Overtaken”. (Excerpts taken from Tucson Green Times)

Main Stage Season presents
Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Lydia Borowicz

The cast includes Bill Epstein, Nicholas Gallardo, Lucas Gonzales, Joi Marie Johnson, Allison Rose, Kristina (Miranda) Sloan, and David Swisher.

Performances run through February 6, 2011, Thursdays - Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Sundays, 2:30 p.m.

"... [Beowulf Alley's production of Eurydice] may be one of the most inventive and magical productions in Tucson this season." Nathan Christensen, TUCSON WEEKLY

In Sarah Ruhl's contemporary play, we meet the lovers, Orpheus and Eurydice, just before their wedding day and experience this Greek myth from Ruhl's imagination of what may have been Eurydice's journey, meeting some of the characters she encounters in the Underworld and the choice she makes in the name of love.

In Greek mythology, Orpheus was the son of the Olympian god, Apollo, and the muse, Calliope, and the greatest musician in the world; one strum of his lyre, one note sung, and people would follow him about, beasts would crawl to him, and trees would tear their roots from the earth to follow him and listen to his beautiful music. In the Greek myth, we learn of the love story from Orpheus' perspective.

One day, Orpheus met Eurydice and they fell deeply in love. They were married and lived happily together until one day, Eurydice stepped on a poisonous snake, was instantly killed and she was taken to the Underworld.

Inconsolable, Orpheus decided to go to the underworld and ask Hades to return Eurydice to him. With the help of his soothing music, he softened the heart of Hades who gave Orpheus permission to bring Eurydice back to the surface of the earth. There was only one condition--Orpheus was not to look back as he ascended. He was to trust that Eurydice was immediately behind him. As they reached the light, to reenter the world, Orpheus glanced back at her, and she was instantly borne away, back to the underworld.

Orpheus tried to return to the underworld, to bring her back once more, but Hades was unrelenting. Orpheus mourned the loss of Eurydice, and spurned the advances of every other woman.


Purchase tickets on our website or call (520) 882-0555. Prices range from $18-$23 with some discounts available on online. Cash Only, $12 Rush Tickets are available 5-15 minutes before curtain at each performance for students, military, and seniors 60+, based on seating availability.

Tucson: UofA presents The Shape of Things - Matinees rescheduled

 

From: Dallas Thomas [mailto:dallast@email.arizona.edu]
Sent: Friday, January 28, 2011 9:21 AM
Subject: Updated press release UA The Shape of Things

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Matinees for ART's The Shape of Things are not canceled. All performances will run as scheduled. 

January 27, 2011

The Shape of Things – by Neil LaBute  (run time 1 hour & 45 minutes + Intermission; Media Photo Call: Feb 1st, 4:30pm, UA Marroney Theatre)

Presented by UA’s Arizona Repertory Theatre and directed by Cathy Hartenstein chartenstein@email.arizona.edu / 520.621.7504

Adam is an awkward, overweight English student and part-time art museum guard.  Evelyn is an experienced, beautiful graduate student in art.  After a chance meeting, Evelyn and Adam embark on an intense relationship that causes Adam to go to extraordinary lengths to improve his appearance and character.  The Shape of Things is a startling dissection of cruelty and artistic creation that challenges society’s most deeply entrenched ideas about art, manipulation and love.

According to playwright LaBute, everybody has the ability to be manipulative, to be hateful and deceitful.  

 The Shape of Things explores the central themes of what is considered art, how far some of us may go for intimacy, and questions psychopathy.  The Shape of Things can make some audience members squirm in their seats for these reasons.  Make no mistake: this is a contemporary play for the socially thoughtful and aware - not for the faint of heart.  

This production includes adult themes and language.

Dates & Times:

Previews:  February 6 at 1:30 p.m. & February 7 at 7:30 p.m.

Evenings:  February 9-12, 17-19, 25, 26 at 7:30 p.m.

Eve, a girl with autism, is suddenly recognized as a savant.  Her teacher, Kate, has applied the controversial technique of facilitated communication (FC) to get her to "speak", and what has come pouring out are simple but lovely poems.  Kate wants to publish the poetry, but must first convince Eve's skeptical father that his daughter has at last found a voice.  Is Eve really talking?  Is FC an authentic treatment or a sham?  Are we sometimes guilty of half-creating what we wish to see?  This gripping play featuring James Blair, Betsy Kruse Craig and Rachel Lacy explores the nature of faith by delving into the mysterious realm of autism.

 

Please call (520) 882-9721 for reservations and information!
