MAN OF LA MANCHA

BOOK BY Dale Wasserman LYRICS BY Joe Darion MUSIC BY Mitch Leigh

CHAPTER TWO BY

Neil Simon

A NEW DREAM FOR A NEW ERA. Following on the record-breaking success of ATC’s Fiddler on the Roof, we bring you a thrilling new production of the brilliant Tony Award-Winning favorite about dreaming the impossible dream. Our quest is to bring you a Man of La Mancha that fully realizes the triumphant story and the score of beloved songs including the iconic “Impossible Dream”, while pulsating with the vibrant culture of Spain. This exciting new staging takes inspiration from the spontaneous, raw theatricality of flamenco performance – focusing on the passion and virtuosity of the performers/musicians as they tell the intertwined stories of Don Quixote and his imprisoned creator, Miguel de Cervantes. This thrilling new staging will amplify the lasting power and potent emotions of this beloved musical.

LOVE ALWAYS DESERVES ANOTHER CHAPTER. Neil Simon is widely regarded as one of the most successful and performed playwrights in the world. Chapter Two is his semi-autobiographical comedy about a recently widowed writer George Schneider who is introduced by his press agent brother to soap opera actress Jennie Malone. Both are trying to come to terms with starting from scratch, and, through their friends who are determined to see the two happy again, the pair meet and begin a whirlwind romance. The play was written as a tribute to Marsha Mason, Mr. Simon’s second wife, who was also nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe Award for playing the lead role in the film. Ms. Mason, who wowed us last season with her direction of An Act of God will be with us at ATC to direct this comedy filled with truth and wisdom.

“And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star.”

“A comedy with plenty of laughs and more profundity than you might anticipate.”

– THE IMPOSSIBLE DREAM

– CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Snappy, funny and artistically honest…will have you simultaneously laughing and crying.” – NEW YORK TIMES

THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK

THE RIVER BRIDE

DRAMATIZED BY

BY

Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett ADAPTATION BY Wendy Kesselman

FINDING HOPE IN THE DARKEST CORNERS. One of the most powerful stories of the 20th Century, The Diary of Anne Frank captures the claustrophobic realities of eight people hiding from the Nazis in a concealed storage attic in war torn Amsterdam. Anne’s daily existence – her fears, her hopes, her laughter, her grief and her family’s desperate attempt to preserve humanity in an inhumane world drive this transcendently powerful true life tale. Incorporating newly discovered writings from the diary of Anne Frank, as well as survivor accounts, to create an impassioned story of the lives of Jews persecuted under Nazi rule, it is a story that continually lingers in our minds throughout the generations because of its optimism and intrinsic truth. The idea that no matter how dire the circumstances, faith in the good of people is what keeps the world in balance – even when all seems lost.

“It shatters the heart. Never lets us forget the inhuman darkness waiting to claim its incandescently human heroine.” – NEW YORK TIMES

Marisela Treviño Orta

2013 Winner of ATC’s National Latino Playwriting Award Presented in association with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival A SECRET THE RIVER WON’T GIVE UP. Once upon a time, in a fishing village along the Amazon, there lived two sisters struggling to find their happily-ever-after. Helena is dreading her sister Belmira’s wedding. The groom, Duarte, should have been hers! And she knows that her sister only wants to escape their sleepy Brazilian town for an exciting new life in the city. But three days before the wedding, fishermen pull a mysterious stranger out of the river – a man with no past who offers both sisters an alluring, possibly dangerous future. Brazilian folklore and lyric storytelling blend into a heartrending tale of true love, regret, transformation, and the struggle to stay true to your family while staying true to yourself.

“A mesmerizing, magical tale of heartbreaking romance. A shining example of what live theatre is all about: superb storytelling; marvelous actors; and technical expertise that transcends into seamless, stunning reality right before the audience's eyes.” – TIMES STANDARD

OUTSIDE MULLINGAR

LOW DOWN DIRTY BLUES

BY

BY

John Patrick Shanley

Tony nominee for Best Play FROM THE AUTHOR OF DOUBT AND MOONSTRUCK comes this charmer of a romantic comedy set in the farmlands of Ireland. Anthony and Rosemary are two introverted misfits straddling 40. Anthony is painfully shy and has spent his entire life on a cattle farm in rural Ireland. Rosemary lives right next door, and is determined to have him – at all costs! She has every reason to fear romantic catastrophe. But these yearning, eccentric souls fight their way towards solid ground and some kind of happiness. Poetic, uplifting, dark and funny, Outside Mullingar is a compassionate work about how sometimes the very things we’re looking for happen to be right in front of us the whole time.

“Both funny and poignant. John Patrick Shanley has not written a more beautiful or loving play than Outside Mullingar.” – VARIETY

Randal Myler AND Dan Wheetman

THE CLUB MAY BE CLOSED, BUT THE PARTY IS JUST HEATING UP! This sizzling musical revue finds a group of veteran blues musicians assembled for an after-hours jam session to swap stories and share their favorite low down dirty tunes, pulled from the greatest hits of Muddy Waters, Mae West, Ma Rainey, Sophie Tucker, Howlin’ Wolf, Pearl Bailey and many others. Featuring nearly two-dozen smokin’ songs filled with passion, soul, and a love of life, these hot rhythms celebrate the bawdier side of the blues and are guaranteed to keep the theatre sultry and steamy from the first note to the last. The creative team that tore down the house at ATC with It Ain’t Nothin’ But The Blues and Love, Janis turns up the heat with this uniquely rousing, raucous musical event!

“Highly recommended…a unique combination of complete authenticity and theatrical polish.” – CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
