25th Anniversary Season 2008–2009
“The School for Scandal ”
[April 18 — May 10, 2008]
Mischievous and hilarious, The School for Scandal is a fabulous amusing play.
“The Best Man ”
[October 10 — November 1, 2008]
By Gore Vidal
Gore Vidal has always known how to keep us entertained, and our revival of his 1960 hit The Best Man, provides delightful proof that he knows his subject (American politics) and understands our cynical fascination with the political process. You are bound to leave the theatre thinking “old Gore Vidal said it best forty years ago.”
“The Underpants ”
[January 16 — February 7, 2009]
By Carl Sternheim
Adapted by Steve Martin, Directed by Edward Hightower
Polite society’s standards of decency may have mellowed, and our tolerance of exposed skin has unquestionably increased. Still, it’s just bad taste to let one’s knickers fall down in public! This is the scandal that lies at the heart of Steve Martin’s delightful adaptation of Sternheim’s 1910 comedy.
“Three Tall Women ”
[April 17 — May 9, 2009]
By Edward Albee
Directed by Richard Robert Bunker
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, this engaging examination of the life of one woman, explored at three crucial times during her life, is bound to be one of the biggest hits of this or any other Role Players season.
