FALL 2011:
Twelfth Night, Or What You Will
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott
October 29 - December 16, 2011
(Previews begin October 22)
"[the] supremely engaging cast imbue
with buoyant wit and
A Noise Within christens its new and permanent Pasadena home with one of the Bard's most beloved comedies. Set in Cuba by director Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, this uproarious bacchanal will sizzle with a decidedly hot, Latin breeze, as plucky Viola, incorrigible Sir Tony Belch and a parade of unforgettable characters burn the midnight oil on a quest for belly-laughs, delicious revenge, and true love's calling.
Desire Under The Elms
By Eugene O'Neill
Directed by Damaso Rodriguez
November 19 - December 18, 2011
(Previews begin November 16)
"Eloquent stagecraft and performances infused with passionate conviction." Backstage, CRITIC'S PICK
Young Eben Cabot's keen and greedy eye is on the farm. His father's voluptuous new bride Abbie has her craven eye on Eben. As they square off to battle for the coveted plot of land, irresistible sexual tension mingles with hate to explosive effect. America's premiere playwright Eugene O'Neill spins a masterful salute to the combustible essence of great Greek drama.
Noises Off - Back by Popular Demand!
By Michael Frayn
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and Geoff Elliott
January 6 - January 15, 2012
(No Previews)
CRITICS CHOICE - LA Times
"Expect to be laughing so hard it hurts." -StageHappenings
Chaos reigns both onstage and off in Michael Frayn's joyfully out-of-control British farce. Under-rehearsed and over-worked, with a penchant for drama more personal than professional, a bumbling troupe of veteran thespians ready themselves for the world premiere of a new play with the auspicious title Nothing On. In the process they bring the house down - quite literally.

SPRING 2012:
Antony and Cleopatra
By William Shakespeare
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott and Geoff Elliott
March 3 - May 13, 2012
(Previews begin February 25)
Two towering figures with spirits as expansive as planets are caught in each other's orbit, unable to break away from an irresistible yet deadly embrace. As the tectonic plates of world politics shift and forces align determined to destroy them, legendary lovers Antony and Cleopatra refuse to surrender an unquenchable lust for life in William Shakespeare's breathless tragedy.
The Illusion
By Pierre Corneille
Adapted by Tony Kushner
Director to be Announced
March 17 - May 19, 2012
(Previews begin March 10)
Tony Kushner (Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angels In America) triumphantly exhumes this fascinating, theatrical fairy-tale first told by French classical dramatist Pierre Corneille in 1639. A father, on a mission to reunite with his estranged son, enlists the services of a powerful sorcerer who conjures up provocative images from the young man's life. Witty and profound, timely and transcendent, comic and moving, The Illusion is the essence of living theatre.
The Bungler
By Moliere
Translated by Richard Wilbur
Directed by Julia Rodriguez-Elliott
April 7 - May 27, 2012
(Previews begin March 31)
The Bungler is comic genius. Moliere's first romp written in verse, and one of the greatest hits of his lifetime. This rarely produced gem is a non-stop cavalcade of wily servants, dim-witted young lovers and avaricious old men on a bumbling, tumbling, tackling, wild and woolly ride. Adjust your seats to the upright and forward position, strap yourselves in, and get ready to laugh!
