LA RONDE
Written by Arthur Schnitzler
First
published for private circulation in Vienna
in 1900, Arthur Schnitzler's famous play
looks at the sexual morality and class
ideology of his day through a series of
sexual encounters between pairs of
characters. When published in 1903, it
became an immediate best-seller, scandalized
Viennese society, and a year later was
censored. Schnitzler was accused of
pornography and worse. By choosing
characters across the social spectrum, La
Ronde offers a powerful view of how sexual
contact transgresses boundaries of class.
Produced through a generous grant from the
Arts and Cultural Council for Livingston
County and the NY Counsel on the Arts.
For mature audiences only. No cell phones or cameras allowed in the theatre for this production.
PERFORMANCE DATES: September 23, 24, 30, October 1, 7, 8 at 7:30pm; September 25, October 2 and 9 at 2pm.
TICKETS: $14 (General Admission) and $8 (Student/55+ Admission)

LIFE IS A DREAM
Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Considered
one of the
outstanding
Spanish
dramas of
all time,
this
17th-century
allegory
explores the

human
destiny, the
illusory
nature of
existence,
and the
struggle
between
predestination
and free
will. On the
basic plot
structure of
King's
suspicions
of his son's
role in an
impending
revolution,
the
playwright
builds a
dramatic
edifice of
theatricality,
rich in
symbolism
and
metaphor,

magnificent
poetry.

THE
BLACKS:
A
CLOWN
SHOW
Written by Jean Genet
A troupe of black actors reenact the rape and murder of a white woman before a kangaroo court and thus begins The Blacks: A Clown Show a play that examines racism and oppression through the ritualistic reenactment of a murder where all the participants are played by black actors -- even the white characters. Written by Jean Genet at the request of a black actor, The Blacks "flows as freely as an improvisation, with fantasy, allegory and intimations of reality mingled into a weird, stirring unity...Genet's investigation of the color black begins where most plays of this burning theme leave off." --Howard Taubman, New York Times.
PERFORMANCE DATES: May 5, 6, 12 ,13, 19 20 at 7:30pm; 7, 14, 21 at 2pm

ARTAUD AND HIS DOUBLE
Written by J.R. Teeter
Antonin Artaud was a revolutionary figure in 20th century theatre. While his writings were inspiring the avant garde of Europe, Artaud was residing in an asylum for the insane. Symptoms of Schizophrenia and an addiction to opium would define much of his later life. Despite his illness he was able to author several books including his seminal work A Theatre and its Double where he discusses the need to destroy present forms of theatre and revert to a more ritualistic style steeped in animalistic desires and symbolism. It would be known as the Theatre of Cruelty. This play examines his last days, institutionalized and suffering from the delusions that have plagued much of his life.
PERFORMANCE DATES: June 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24 at 7:30pm; June 18 and 25 at 2pm.
