Theatrikos Theatre Company’s 2012 Season
40 Years of Theatre: An Award Winning Season
Cabaret
January 27 through February 18
Music by John Kander, Lyrics by Fred Ebb, Book by Joe Masteroff
Director: Scott Tignor
Winner of 12 Tony Awards and 8 Academy Awards, this musical from the creators of Chicago and Kiss of the Spider Woman brings to life the dark, sexually charged decadence of 1930's Berlin, beckoning the audience into the Kit Kat Klub on the eve of Hitler's rise to power in Germany. Defiant and melancholy, brazen and gleeful, Cabaret sizzles and provokes with classics such as Wilkommen, Money, and of course, Cabaret. Join the Master of Ceremonies as he beckons you to "leave your troubles outside", and experience the steamy, seedy world of Cabaret.
Content: Sexual situations and humor. Mature audiences only.
Out of Order
May 30 through April 15
by Ray Cooney Director: Dennis Hattem
When Richard Willey, a government junior minister, plans to spend the evening with Jane Worthington, one of the opposition's typists, things go disastrously wrong - beginning with the discovery of a "body" trapped in the hotel's only unreliable window. Desperately trying to get out of a potentially headline-making situation, Richard calls for his assistant, George. However, with a conniving waiter, a suspicious hotel manager, an alert private detective, an angry wife, a furious husband, a bungling secretary, an unconscious nurse and a dead body to deal with, this is not the romantic evening Richard had planned. Olivier Award Winner, Best Comedy.
One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
May 25 through June 10
By Dale Wassermann from the novel by Ken Kesey
Directors: Virginia Brown and Linda Sutera
Randle P McMurphy is a charming rogue who contrives to serve a short sentence in an airy mental institution rather in a prison. This, he learns, was a mistake. He clashes with the head nurse and quickly takes over the yard, accomplishing what the medical profession has been unable to do for twelve years; he makes a presumed deaf and mute Indian talk. He leads others out of introversion, stages a revolt so that they can see the World Series on television, and arranges a rollicking midnight party with liquor and chippies. Winner of both the 2001 Tony Award and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play.
TBD
July 27 through August 12
A Doll’s House
September 28 through October 14
By Henrik Ibsen adapted by Frank McGuinness
Director: Mickey Mercer
Nora Helmer is a vibrant young housewife who nonetheless suffers from a crippling dependency on her husband of eight years. He, Torvald, has always done the thinking for the both of them. In order to save Torvald from a debt, and to spare his masculine pride, Nora arranges a loan without his knowledge, and does so by forging a signature. The inevitable revelation of the crime results in an unexpected reaction from Torvald: Rather than being grateful to Nora, he is incapable of accepting the pride and self-sufficiency she demonstrated in taking care of him, and he accuses her of damaging his good name. The illusions behind their marriage are exposed, and Nora wakes to feelings of self awareness for the first time in her life. Torvald is not the man she thought she knew. They are husband and wife, yes, but they are strangers as well. And in one of the most famous, and scandalous, climaxes in all of nineteenth-century drama, Nora leaves her husband and children, determined to forge a new identity from the one she has always known. Winner of the 1997 Tony Award for best revival.
