Young Victor Frankenstein has everything going
for him: a loving family, a genteel and adoring fiance, and a
privileged life at the family estate in Europe. Then his ill-fated
miscalculation of the power of science and hubris lead to a creation
so horrible and unimaginable that nothing and no one he loves will
escape unscathed. Adapted for the stage by Victor Gialanella, this
dark gothic play steers clear of the modern stereotypes of one of
literature's most infamous "monsters" and will leave you haunted and
amazed.
'The Wedding Singer'
Music by Matthew Sklar
Book by Chad Beguelin and Tim Herlihy
Lyrics by Chad Beguelin
Based on the New Line Cinema film written by Tim Herlihy Director: Melissa Jo York Tilley Musical Director: Amy Baillargeon Paul Choreography: Melanie Marie Gibson Production Manager: Dave Warner Performances: February 11,12 (m), 12, 13, 18, 19, 20 2011. It’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Hart, who still lives in his grandmother's basement, is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party until his fiancé, Linda, leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. When he meets an Julia, an admiring young waitress, Robbie falls madly in love. Only trouble is Julia is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980s, The Wedding Singer takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room. 'The Women' by Clare Luce Booth Directed by Scott Olson Performances: June 3, 4(m), 5, 10, 11, 12 2011. The Women is set in the world of high society wives in New York City during the height of the Great Depression. Mary Haines learns from a gossipy manicurist that her husband, Stephen, is having an affair with a shop-girl named Crystal. After the news of Stephen’s affair is published in a gossip column, Mary decides to divorce him. To obtain her divorce, she travels to Reno, Nevada, where liberal divorce laws attracted many society women wishing to downplay any potential for scandal. While she is in Reno, Mary learns that Stephen has married Crystal. Two years later, Mary, now living back in New York with her children, learns that Crystal has been unfaithful to Stephen. With the help of her friends, Mary sets out to expose Crystal’s infidelity in order to win Stephen back.
Come with us as PWLT addresses themes of the
modern woman, marriage and divorce, female friendship, beauty
standards, gossip, and socioeconomic class.
