MARY MOODY NORTHEN THEATRE – 2009-2010 SEASON

bobrauschenbergamerica
By Charles L. Mee
Directed by David M. Long
Sept. 17–27, 2009

A wild road trip through the American landscape as artist Robert Rauschenberg might have conceived it had he been a playwright: a collage of people and places, music and dancing, love stories and business schemes, chicken jokes and golfing, and the sheer exhilaration of living in a country where people make up their lives as they go. Featuring Equity guest artists Babs George and Jamie Goodwin. Read the Austin Chronicle preview of the show.

The Life of Galileo
By Bertolt Brecht, Translated by David Hare
Directed by Michelle Polgar
Nov. 12–22, 2009

In 1609, in a small study in Padua, Galileo Galilei raises a telescope to the skies. What he finds there reverberates from the streets of Padua to the Vatican palace in Rome, sparking a debate that threatens his very survival. From master playwright Bertolt Brecht comes a theatrical discourse on reason, faith, power and the tension arising from scientific progress running headlong into age-old assumptions. Featuring Equity guest artists Michael Miller, David Stahl and David Stokey.

Peer Gynt
By Henrik Ibsen, Translated by Robert Bly
Directed by Ev Lunning, Jr.
Feb. 11–21, 2010

Out of the gentle genius of Henrik Ibsen comes a stunning theatrical travelogue exploring one man’s journey of self-discovery from impetuous boyhood to penitent old age. A fantastical voyage filled with puppetry, music and wonder in the tradition of the great Norwegian fairy tales, Peer Gynt races, stumbles, fights, meanders and crashes, alternately, around the world and back again in this new translation by Minnesota poet laureate Robert Bly. Featuring Equity guest artists Sheila M. Gordon and Ben Wolfe.

City of Angels
Book by Larry Gelbart, Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by David Zippel
Vocal Arrangements by Cy Coleman and Yaron Gershovsky
Directed by Michael McKelvey
Music Direction by Michael McKelvey
April 8–18, 2010

In this smart, sassy and side-splittingly funny musical, a frazzled novelist struggles to adapt his hard-boiled detective novel to the silver screen. As tensions mount, the parallels between his own life and that of his fictional detective spiral to dizzying heights. With wit, style and a sophisticated, jazz-inspired score, this Tony-award winning musical bounces between film noir and 1940s Hollywood glamour with dynamic musical flair. Featuring Equity guest artist David M. Long.
