NOW PLAYING- NEW PLAY READINGS- STORYTELLING SERIES-SEASON SCHEDULE Caldwell Theatre Company 2008-2009 Mainstage Season Play #1 She Loves Me
This blockbuster multiple award-winning musical is considered the most charming musical ever written. With a book by Cabaret’s Joe Masteroff, and music and lyrics by the team that brought us Fiddler on the Roof and Fiorello!, She Loves Me is an enchanting love story. George and Amelia are two coworkers who bicker constantly but anonymously write each other through a Lonely Hearts column, and ultimately fall in love. With 25 show-stopper songs, She Loves Me is, as Frank Rich of The New York Times said, “… a continuously melodic evening of sheer enchantment and complete escape” and is, as Theater Mania writes, “… impossible not to love.” Caldwell Theatre Company
In the twilight of his political career after he had been forced from the presidency, Richard Nixon agreed to a four-part television interview with British talk show host and playboy, David Frost. In this attempt to rehabilitate his reputation, the once-powerful Nixon relinquished full editorial control to Frost in what became the most-watched with the largest audience program in history. The explosive and first-rate Frost/Nixon takes us back to 1977. Will the pugnacious Nixon reveal his demons to his equally aggressive prosecutor David Frost in this potent war of wits? Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning drama. “RIVETING” (Washington Post). THRILLER-LIKE” (Variety). “BEST PLAY” (TheaterMania). “BRISKLY ENTERTAINING” (New York Times). “EXTRAORDINARY” (Evening Standard).
First staged at Caldwell’s innovative and popular 2008 Play Reading Series where it received audience rave reviews, Dangerous is “Les Liaisons Dangereuses” deconstructed and restaged in the seductive and decadent underworld of 1930 Weimar Germany. Brought to you by South Florida’s multiple award-winning playwright, Michael McKeever, whose farce, Suite Surrender, World Premiered at Caldwell last season to rhapsodic reviews.
Play #4 Something's Afoot Additional Music by
In the mood for a mega-musical comedy mystery? This audience five murder musical mystery is set in the late spring of 1935 at an English country estate. It’s a dark and stormy night, and the 10 guests of Lord Dudley Rancor discover upon their arrival that not only is the host dead, but so is his butler. A parody based on Gather Christie’s “Ten Little Indians” (the 1939 novel also known as “And Then There Were None,”) Something’s Afoot will keep you on the edge of your seat as the determined guests unmask the murderer among them. "The audience adored the show," New York Times. "An engaging, funny, refreshing and original musical," New York Post, and the New York Daily News wrote that Something’s Afoot is "an enchanting spoof." The Stage (UK) review by Jane McCall said Something’s Afoot “is a finely paced comedy” with “cannily created characters.” ______________________________ Performances Times Subscription Tickets are on sale through the Box Office (877) 245-7432 or (561) 241-7432 _______________________________ Caldwell Theatre Company Past Performances Play #1 A Parable
A Bronx Catholic school in 1964 sets the stage for this provocative and deeply moving winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize. Sister Aloysius questions whether a priest at their grade school is acting appropriately with children in her charge. Faced with a Hobson’s choice of speaking up without all the evidence or keeping quiet while a child may be in jeopardy, this four time Tony Award-winner explores the “What do you do when you’re not sure?” dilemma, pitting gut instincts against compassionate concern. “Even as Doubt holds your conscious attention as an intelligently measured debate play,” The New York Times said, “it sends off emotional stealth charges that go far deeper.” Featuring Pat Nesbit in the leading role. ______________________________________________________________________ Play #2 A New Farce
Audiences raved at its recent play reading at Caldwell. It’s 1942, where the luxurious Palm Beach Royale Hotel is under siege as two of Hollywood’s biggest divas vie for the same suite. Mistaken identities, overblown egos, double entendres, and one pampered little lap dog round out this fall-down-laughing riot of a new farce by multiple award-winning South Florida playwright, Michael McKeever. _____________________________________________________________________ Play #3 By Joel Gross
The place is Versailles. The time, 1774-1793 during the French Revolution. The characters are Marie Antoinette, her female portraitist and the aristocratic cad who came between them. This compelling drama traces the beautiful and multi-dimensional Queen from her youthful and heady excesses to her ultimate, vulnerable reality. The New York Times said this drama was “a touching story of love,” and Jill Jichetti of OffOffOnline said of the play: “The social and political are as wickedly intertwined as lovers’ limbs.” ______________________________________________________________________ Play #4 By Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom Sportswriter and television commentator Mitch Albom’s heartwarming and funny autobiographical account of visits with his former professor, Morrie Schwartz, who has Lou Gehrig’s disease. The two form a close bond during these last months of Morrie’s life. Lessons learned from Morrie’s unique perspective cause Mitch to reevaluate his life, reset priorities and inspire others. This MUST-SEE uplifting, heartwarming and funny story is based on Mitch Albom’s life-affirming 1997 bestseller, and features crowd favorite Peter Haig as Morrie and Jim Ballard as Mitch.
