2005-2006 Season



Rock Shore

by Lisa Dillman

September 16 - October 2

This is the world premiere of an extraordinary dramatic work. The play, set in 1913 at Rock Shore Cottage Sanatorium on Lake Saranac in the Adirondacks, enters forcefully into wilderness - the one that surrounds us, the one inside us.  Rock Shore was supported by a residency and public staged readings at the 2003 O'Neill Playwrights Conference. It is a winner of the Sprenger-Lang Foundation 2004 History Play Prize.

A beautiful production in a lovely theater, featuring many of Santa Fe's finest performers and accompanied by a live orchestra… our town will indeed come alive with the sound of music! Get out your accordions, guitars, lederhosen, a sprig of edelweiss. Get together a group of people you love and head downtown!



A Shayna Maidel

by Barbara Lebow

January 13 - 29

This powerhouse drama of almost overwhelming proportions, stands as a tribute to the sustaining power of family and to the strength of the human spirit. Set in Manhattan in 1946, it takes us to the meeting of two sisters divided by the war in Europe and the terror of concentration camps. Shaken by discovery and memory, sorrowful barriers give way to a renewed sense of hope. The Atlanta Constitution said, "…anyone who sees it will not soon forget it."

Waiting For Godot
A Tragicomedy In Two Acts

by Samuel Beckett

March 17 - April 2

This production honors the Centennial of the birth of Samuel Beckett with what stands as one of the most moving plays of modern times. It opened in 1953 at the tiny Left Bank Theatre de Babylone. It is a comical wordplay of poetry, dreamscapes and nonsense that is suffused with tenderness, and as Clive Barnes wrote: "…with phrases that come like a sharp stab of beauty and pain." Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969.



A Midsummer Night's Dream

by William Shakespeare

June 9 - 18 

performed at:
JAMES A. LITTLE THEATER
  

A classic THEATERWORK production (whiz-bang costumes, hilarious props on an  ay-yi-yi  set) of a uproarious comedy by a master theater worker who left the Virgin Queen's wig a little ajar with this one!
