CARRIE THE MUSICAL
Music by Michael Gore | Lyrics by Dean Pitchford
Book by Lawrence D. Cohen | Based on the novel by Stephen King
July 9 - August 8, 2015 at RVA Event Space in Plant Zero
Starring Brittany D. Simmons and Broadway's Andrea Rivette
Directed by Billy Christopher Maupin
Music Direction by Anthony Smith | Choreography by Emily Poff
Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she's an outcast who's bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she's at the mercy of her loving but cruelly over-protective mother. But Carrie's just discovered she's got a special power, and if pushed too far, she's not afraid to use it
"Welcome to the prom, Carrie. They're not going to laugh at you now! Powerfully acted and intensely well sung, this infamous rock musical about a telekinetic teen has the strange power to move you. The new and improved Carrie is gripping."
- Time Out New York
UNCANNY VALLEY
by Thomas Gibbons
September 10 - October 3 at HATTheatre
Directed by Morrie Piersol
The relationship between the creator and the created unfolds in the phenomenon known as the uncanny valley where Claire, a neuroscientist, works with Julian, an artificial being, on becoming human. Drawing on current research and the not-so-distant future, this spellbinding and deeply satisfying new play travels to the ethical heart of humankind's bid to outrace mortality. How far are we willing to forget, while insisting on never being forgotten?
"Uncanny Valley maintains such a firm hold on us that, until the very last blackout, we remain tantalized by the mystery of what courses through Julian's circuitry."
- Washington Post
UNEXPECTED TENDERNESS
by Israel Horovitz
January 22 - February 13, 2016, Coproduced with CAT Theatre
Directed by Billy Christopher Maupin
This poignant drama about a dysfunctional Jewish family in Massachusetts is structured as a memory play. Roddy Stern recalls what it was like growing up in a family dominated by his paranoid and pathologically jealous father, a truck driver who lurked outside his house - instead of working - to catch his wife with other men.
"A play of real power and dimension... It stays with the mind and heart."
- N.Y. Post
BODY AWARENESS
by Annie Baker
April 20 - May 14, 2016, Coproduced with Richmond Triangle Players
Directed by Carol Piersol
A wonderful comedy from the Obie Award-winning author of Circle Mirror Transformation. It's Body Awareness Week at Vermont's Shirley College, and partners Phyllis and Joyce, and their possibly autistic son Jared, are rocked by a visiting photographer and his 'male gaze.' As sexuality, identity, role modeling and political-correctness get stirred up, the results are both touching and hilarious.
"An engaging new comedy by a young playwright with a probing, understated voice...Its quiet rewards steal up on you."
- The New York Times
