OVERVIEW
Voltaire’s masterpiece, adapted for the stage in rhymed couplets by playwright TJ Edwards, is an assault on society, religion, human nature, education, government and above all, optimism. Candide’s journey was here enacted by nine actors playing over 70 roles in a madcap journey to discover just what it is that makes life worth living.

“High-energy and highly inventive staging… into all the scenic atmosphere, Chamberlin’s actors bring an easy athleticism and a light touch with Edwards’s rhymed couplets and whimsy.” – The Washington Post |

KAFKA ON THE SHORE
January 31-February 24, 2013
|
|
OVERVIEW
Filled with riddles—only some of them solved. A kaleidoscope of images and characters who morph, combine, and fall into patterns of perfect dream logic. A journey to the brink of the subconscious and back. A teenage boy runs from home, but he cannot escape the swirling sandstorm that is himself. Murakami blends worlds both real and surreal in ways that create unexpected openings into the vast labyrinth of the unconscious. An East Coast premiere. Guest Director, Rebecca Holderness, whose Einstein’s Dreams was a sell-out last season, returns to orchestrate speaking cats, a sinister Johnnie Walker, Col Sanders serving up chicks (not chicken), and possible UFOs – in addition to a host of modern Japanese characters.
