CAPITAL REPERTORY THEATRE 2011-2012 SEASON STUDENT MATINEES SUPERIOR DONUTS by Tracy Letts
October 12 at 10:30 am Recommended for grades 11 & 12 (mature language) In this delicious new comedy from the Pulitzer Prizewinning playwright of August Osage County, an offbeat friendship grows between a cantankerous white shop owner and an ambitious black teenager with something to hide. As the two men bond over literature and entrepreneurship, they discover that family runs deeper than blood. Amidst the changing face of an old Chicago neighborhood, a local donut shop becomes the setting for old secrets and new beginnings.
MAN OF LA MANCHA
by Dale Wasserman – Lyrics by Joe Darion Music by Mitch Leigh December 7, December 13 and December 15 at 10:30 am Recommended for grades 8 -12 Thrown into prison on trumped-up charges, Miguel Cervantes and his sidekick, Sancho Panza find themselves among a throng of debtors, thieves and worse. What better way to prepare your defense and plead your innocence than by enlisting the inmates to re-enact the magical tale of the greatest knight of all, Don Quixote – slayer of dragons, windmills and defender of ladies in distress. The story reminds us all to never give up – that miracles happen – and we can reach the stars.
THE SISTERS ROSENSWEIG by Wendy Wasserstein
February 15 at 10:30 am Recommended for grades 11 & 12 This delightful Tony-nominated play, which won the 1993 Outer Critics Circle award for Best Broadway Play, follows three disparate Jewish sisters from Brooklyn as they reunite in London for the birthday of Sara, the eldest. Over the course of a chaotic weekend, the sisters come to terms with their differences – as well as their love for one another. The Sisters Rosensweig is a heart-warming comic portrait of a complex family from one of America’s best playwrights, the late Pulitzer Prize-winner Wendy Wasserstein. EDUCATION AT CAPITAL REP
