Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) - was a Danish writer, poet, and playwright, best known as the author of some of the world’s most widely read fairytales. Born into poverty in Odense, Denmark, Andersen began his career as an aspiring actor, but turned to writing while at the University of Copenhagen. Although he first achieved literary recognition in the 1830s for his plays and novels, it was his fairytales that eventually made him an international literary figure. Andersen was an innovator in children’s fiction, writing most of his tales in a spoken rather than literary idiom, and depicting suffering and unhappy endings while still staying connected to a child’s perspective. Among the best-known of his over 150 children’s stories are The Princess and the Pea (1835), The Little Mermaid (1836), The Emperor’s New Clothes (1837), The Ugly Duckling (1844), and The Little Match Girl (1848). Andersen’s story The Snow Queen (Sneedronningen, in Danish) was first published in 1845 in his fourth collection of Eventyr (or Tales). One of Andersen’s longest stories, it is also regarded by some critics as his masterpiece, and has remained one of his most popular tales over the years.

RUN TIME approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes with 2 intermissions

PRICE $20 - $73

PLAYWRIGHT Tony Kushner

Angels in America Part 2: Perestroika

One of America’s most important theatrical experiences, this is the Tony Award-winning conclusion to Tony Kushner’s gay fantasia on national themes. Written with a boldness rarely seen in theater, this play is transcendent. Angels in America: Part Two: Perestroika takes us through layers of human experience, making us think and feel, showing us the truth in moments of fantasy. Told through the intertwined lives of six New Yorkers, this story packs a punch. Confronting politics, spirituality, and sexuality with sharp humor and a sage observational eye, this great American epic shows us how community and connection can be forged in even the darkest of times.

Conscience

DATES Sept. 25th - Oct. 13th

RUN TIME Approximately 2 hours, including 1 intermission

PRICE $20 - $73

PLAYWRIGHT Joe DiPietro

Conscience

Conscience takes us back to a time when Maine senators were the heart of the United States Senate. This is the story of Maine Senator Margaret Chase Smith, a trailblazer of Maine and national politics whose story is gripping, real, and critical to the Maine cultural identity. This play is a deep look into her gripping political rivalry with Wisconsin Senator Joe McCarthy. As the two begin to form a tense friendship that becomes an unlikely alliance, Senator Smith must choose between her political success, (including a potential Vice Presidential nomination), and her own conscience, culminating in the delivery of a potentially disastrous speech turned historic on the Senate floor, her Declaration of Conscience.

Joe DiPietro has won two Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award and three Outer Critics Circle Awards. His newest musical, Sinatra recently premiered at Birmingham Rep and is bound for Broadway, as is his musical, What's New, Pussycat, featuring the hits of Tom Jones, which also premiered at Birmingham Rep. Upcoming premieres include the murder mystery, An  Old-Fashioned Family Murder at NTR in Kansas City, and the musical 3 Summers of Lincoln, starring Brian Stokes Mitchell, which will premiere next season at LaJolla Playhouse. His adaptation of Sinclair Lewis' novel, Babbitt, starring Matthew Broderick, will open this fall at The Shakespeare Company DC, having recently debuted to critical acclaim at LaJolla Playhouse.

Other shows include Memphis (2010 Tony Award for Best Musical); Nice Work If You Can Get It (which starred Matthew Broderick & Kelli O'Hara and received 10 Tony nominations); Diana (Netflix); The Toxic Avenger (OCC Award - Best off-Broadway Musical); Ernest Shackleton Loves Me (Off-Broadway Alliance Award - Best Musical); I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change (the longest-running musical revue in off-Broadway history); as well as the much-produced comedies Clever Little Lies and Over the River and Through the Woods, among others. His La Ronde riff, F**king Men, is the longest-running fringe show in London history and is being revived there in the spring.

Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields

Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer, and Henry Shields met while training at The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). All core members of Mischief Theatre, they had already worked in comedy together for several years before they started out as a writing team. The three’s first piece was The Play That Goes Wrong (winner – Best New Comedy – Olivier Awards and What’s On Stage Awards). The show started out on the London and Edinburgh fringe before touring the UK and internationally and then returning to the West End in September 2014, where it is still running. It's also playing on Broadway and headed out on a US tour in 2018 and has been performed in over 20 other countries around the world. Peter Pan Goes Wrong was the trio’s second piece, opening in November 2014 for a UK tour before a hugely successful West End season in Christmas 2015. Henry, Henry, and Jonathan recently adapted the script of Peter Pan Goes Wrong for the BBC, which was filmed with the original West End cast and broadcast to rave reviews on New Year’s Eve. They were invited back to wreak more havoc at the BBC in 2017 with Christmas Carol Goes Wrong on BBC1. The Comedy About A Bank Robbery marks their third writing project as a trio and earned them another Olivier Nomination. @mischiefcomedy and mischieftheatre.co.uk

Clyde’s

It may seem like a run-down truck stop diner, but for the formerly incarcerated staff of Clyde’s, it’s a place where they can find community, support, and a second chance at life. Their quest to create the perfect sandwich keeps them motivated to access their full potential and move on to bigger and better things, even when Clyde tries to keep them right where they are. A savory comedy that shows us what we can achieve with patience, dedication, and a little thyme.

Charles Dickens’ poignant and action-packed novels lifted him from a lower-middle-class childhood to become an international celebrity of the Victorian era, and remain popular today. Still, in book after book, from Oliver Twist to Great Expectations, he remained true to his roots: calling attention to hypocrisy, injustice, and the plight of the poorest among us.
