2010-2011 Season of BOLDNEWPLAYS

Here is a sneak peek of our upcoming season.

The full season will be posted here March 22nd.

New subscriptions are on sale May 3rd.

[title of show]

Book by Hunter Bell

Music and Lyrics by Jeff Bowen

 

September 18-October 10, 2010

Previews September 15, 16 & 17

 

Imagine two hyper-talented young songwriters in New York trying to write a new musical about two hyper-talented young songwriters in New York trying to write a new musical?! That’s [title of show], the deliciously smart and tuneful musical that wowed Broadway audiences and critics last fall. It’s a dizzy, unpredictable, and uproarious tongue-in-cheek musical about show business and making one’s dreams come true. Follow Jeff, Hunter, Heidi and Susan as they negotiate a musical theatre obstacle course of finding backers, casting singers and making it to Broadway. Fresh, funny and playful, [title of show] is a Cinderella tale set to music about the journey from the unemployment line to the Great White Way.  

 

DISTRACTED

By Lisa Loomer

 

November 27-December 12, 2010

Previews November 24 & 26

 

Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre

 

Are we so tuned in to our info-rich, 24-7 world that we’ve tuned out the things that really matter?  Jesse is eight and easily distracted, but so are his mother, father, neighbors and even the doctors.  When Jesse is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, the question becomes what to do about it?  Is it caused by over stimulation, bad parenting, too many chemicals in the food, or is he just a kid in an ADD world? In their fractured, fast paced, overly wired lives the consequence is almost inevitable.  Distracted is a fast-paced and comic look at parenting in the age of the Internet and Ritalin.

 

RUINED

By Lynn Nottage

 

April 16-May 1, 2011

Previews April 13, 14 & 15

 

Co-Produced with UMKC Theatre

 

Entertainment and escape await guests at Mama Nadi’s rain forest bar and brothel in civil-war-torn Congo. But is she protecting or profiting from the women she shelters, and how far will she go to survive?  Inspired by interviews she conducted in Africa with Congo refugees, Nottage has crafted an engrossing and uncommonly human story with humor and song served alongside its postcolonial and feminist politics.  Winner of the 2009 Pulitzer Prize in Drama.

 

PLUS A Season Extra

A VERY JOAN CRAWFORD CHRISTMAS

DIRECTED BY JEFF CHURCH

STARRING RON MEGEE

December 11-26, 2010

Previews December 8, 9 & 10

Imagine a setting where you can settle in with Joan Crawford, along with her loyal housekeeper, Mamacita, and several Hollywood friends and enemies. Give Joan the respect she’s entitled to! Pepsi and vodka: you’ll learn to love it.  Be sure to visit the craft room to decorate a wire hanger for the tree, and enter the contest. But clean up that mess! Created by Jeff Church and Ron Megee especially for Unicorn Theatre.

(A Very Joan Crawford Christmas is not included in any season package.  Subscribers receive a discount on tickets to this this season extra.)

 

 

There are 3 more shows to be announced for the 2010-2011 Season. 

Here are some of the titles we are considering

 

2 JEWS WALK INTO A WAR

By Seth Rozin

Wonderfully funny and amazingly poignant. In a dilapidated old synagogue in Kabul during the final days of the Taliban regime, the one thing that binds Ishaq and Zeblyan together - they hate each other’s guts. Ishaq and Zeblyan are the last two surviving Jews in all of Afghanistan. Inspired by a true story, they are, in fact a real life middle-eastern odd couple. Could it be that the salvation of Afghanistan’s Jewish community is left in the hands of these two mushuganas?  This play was read in our In-Progress New Play Reading Series.

 

PASSING STRANGE*

Book and Lyrics by Stew, Music by Stew and Heidi Rodewald

From singer-songwriter and performance artist Stew comes Passing Strange, a daring musical that takes you on a journey across boundaries of place, identity and theatrical convention.  Stew brings us the story of a young bohemian who charts a course for "the real" through sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll.  Loaded with soulful lyrics and overflowing with passion, the show takes us from black middle-class America to Amsterdam, Berlin and beyond on a journey towards personal and artistic authenticity.

 

THE SEAFARER    

By Conor McPherson

The Seafarer is a chilling new play about the sea, Ireland, and the power of myth. It's Christmas Eve, and Sharky has returned to Dublin to look after his irascible, aging brother who's recently gone blind. Old drinking buddies Ivan and Nicky are holed up at the house too, hoping to play some cards. But with the arrival of a stranger from the distant past, the stakes are raised even higher. Sharky may be playing for his very soul.

 

NEXT FALL*

By Geoffrey Nauffts

Next Fall takes a witty and provocative look at faith, commitment and unconditional love. While the play's central story focuses on the 5-year relationship between Adam and Luke, the play goes beyond the typical love story. This timely and compelling new American play forces us all to examine what it means to "believe" and what it might cost us not to.

 

BECKY SHAW

By Gina Gionfriddo

This comedy of bad manners is a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among four men and women in their 30s.  It’s as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage from its first moments to its last. The plot turns on the ghastly ramifications of one colossally bad setup. How bad? Well, the first date involves a visit to a police station. This deftly plotted, scabrous and sharp-witted new play proves a bracing antidote to dispiriting news.

 

IN THE NEXT ROOM: THE VIBRATOR PLAY

By Sarah Ruhl

            Set in the 1880s at the dawn of the age of electricity and based on the bizarre historical fact that doctors used vibrators to treat 'hysterical' women (and some men), the play centers on a doctor and his wife and how his new therapy affects their entire household.  In a seemingly perfect, well-to-do Victorian home, proper gentleman and scientist Dr. Givings has innocently invented an extraordinary new device for treating “hysteria” in women (and occasionally men): the vibrator. Adjacent to the doctor’s laboratory, his young and energetic wife tries to tend to their newborn daughter—and wonders exactly what is going on in the next room. When a new “hysterical” patient and her husband bring a wet nurse and their own complicated relationship into the doctor’s home, Dr. and Mrs. Givings must examine the nature of their own marriage, and what it truly means to love someone.
