Mary Moody Northen Theatre – 2008-2009 Season

Cloud 9
By Caryl Churchill
Directed by David M. Long
Sept. 25 – Oct. 5, 2008
With Guest Artists Babs George and Matt Radford

A hilarious assault on hypocrisy, this whirlwind tour from 1880s Africa to 1970s London confronts both colonial and sexual repression. With a gender-bent cast of characters who travel 100 years in time while only aging 25, Churchill challenges our preconceptions about sex, romance, gender roles, and race — all at a breakneck pace and with astounding theatrical flair.

 “I really don’t know when I’ve had more fun.”– Rex Reed, New York Daily News.

For mature audiences (language, sexual content).

The Three Sisters
By Anton Chekhov
Directed by Sheila Gordon
Nov. 13 – 23, 2008
With Guest Artists Ev Lunning, Jr. and Marc Pouhé

This elegant 1901 family saga follows the struggles of three sisters and a brother living in a provincial town and yearning to return to their beloved Moscow. Replete with sexual heat, gambling addiction, murder, infidelity, magicians, wandering minstrels, and arson…wait — could this be Chekhov? Moscow Art Theatre-trained Sheila Gordon presents an active, dynamic retelling guaranteed to resonate with modern audiences and rekindle your passion for this classic work.

For mature audiences (sexual content).

Cyrano de Bergerac
By Edmond Rostand
Translated by Anthony Burgess
Directed by Michelle S. Polgar
February 12 – 22, 2009

Soldier, poet, and philosopher of heroic proportions, Cyrano de Bergerac is plagued with an enormous nose and believes he can never win the love of the fair Roxanne. A tale of honor, love, and heroism filled with humor, intrigue, swordfights, and poetry, Cyrano will warm your heart, delight your senses, and nourish your spirit.

[A]n immortal…entertainment that pushes emotional buttons just as effectively today as it did … 110 years ago.  – Ben Brantley, The New York Times.

The Pajama Game
By George Abbot and Richard Bissell
Music and Lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross
Directed by Michael McKelvey
April 16 – 26, 2009

The employees of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are demanding a 7 ½ cent raise. When management meets the union head, the sparks fly. A two-time Tony Award winner, this bright and brassy show features some of Adler and Ross’ most popular songs, including “Hernando’s Hideaway,” “Hey There” and the Bob Fosse choreographed “Steam Heat.”

[G]oes down as easily as spiked lemonade at a summer picnic. – Ben Brantley, The New York Times.
