On Stage at Theatre Three: House & Garden

Theatre Three’s 2008-2009 Season begins with the comic adventure, House and Garden by Sir Alan Ayckbourn. Theatre Three’s forty-eighth season is a world tour of theater. Beginning with the comic mayhem of a garden festival at an English manor house, the season concludes with the harrowing drama of a South African courtroom. The shows between include a homegrown military drama, a romantic musical set in Florence, a witty Spanish Golden Age comedy, a modern French flirtatious farce, and a classic mystery set on the Nile River. House and Garden begins previews on Thursday, July 10, 2008 and will close on Sunday, August 10, 2008. “The important thing is they are separate plays, it would be a shame if you didn't see both - you may won-der what happened on the other side for the rest of your life! You can see them in different orders. There is no right order. It just alters your perceptions of events.” – Alan Ayckbourn in an interview with Simon Murgatroyd about House and Garden. Teddy Platt’s historic home is very busy. A large garden fair is planned and it looks like it might rain. Teddy is ex-pecting an important guest who may bring news about an intriguing political position. Unfortunately, his wife, Trish, is not speaking to him and his teenage daughter, Sally, has ambitions and an unexpected love life of her own. An exotic French actress is expected to appear at the festivities, but she and the other guests can’t seem to find their way to the front door of the house because the servants keep moving the helpful directional signs. Teddy’s best friend and his wife have their own marital problem: Teddy. House will be performed in Theatre Three, with Garden running simultaneously in Theatre Too. The same cast appears in both shows. Performances: Thursdays & Sundays at 7:30 p.m., Fridays & Saturdays at 8:00 p.m., Saturday & Sunday matinees at 2:30 p.m. Ticket Prices: Previews: $15 -- $40 (July 10 -- 14, 2008) Regular Run: $10 -- $40 (July 24 – August 10, 2008) Tickets may be purchased by calling Theatre Three’s box office at 214-871-3300, option #1. Tickets may be re-quested online at www.theatre3dallas.com

Theatre Three’s 2008-2009 Subscription Season Announcement

(Dallas, Texas) Theatre Three is staging a world tour of theatre during the 2008-2009 season. Beginning in July 2008 with the comic mayhem of a garden festival at an English manor house, the season concludes in June 2009 with the harrowing drama of a South African courtroom. The shows between include a homegrown military drama, a romantic musical set in Florence, a witty Spanish Golden Age comedy, a modern French flirtatious farce, and a classic mystery set on the Nile River. Theatre Three’s 2008-2009 subscription season begins July 10, 2008 and concludes June 14, 2009. House by Sir Alan Ayckbourn July 10 - August 10 House is one of two comedies intended to be performed simultaneously by the same cast in two adjacent theatre spaces. House and its counterpart comedy, Garden, were huge theatrical hits when performed in two of the spaces at The Royal National Theatre in London. Though each of the plays is complete in and of itself, the characters move be-tween the house (Theatre Three) and the garden (Theatre Too), fitting perfectly into the puzzle plots of the two funny shows. Subscribers will be seated in Theatre Three for HOUSE as part of their subscription. As part of their subscrip-tion benefit, subscribers get half-priced admissions to GARDEN and other Theatre Too productions of the 2008-2009 Season. Defiance sizzling drama by John Patrick Shanley September 4 - October 5 Set on a United States Marine Corps base in North Carolina in 1971, three officers (the commander, his black execu-tive officer and the new base chaplain) are on a collision course over race, women, and authority – both military and moral authority. In this play, Pulitzer winning Shanley fills the drama with provocative tensions between the military mindset, the pro and anti war turmoil of the times, the complexities of race, and tests of loyalties and loves. The Light in the Piazza music by Adam Guttel, book by Craig Lucas October 23 - November 23 Few Broadway musicals have ever inspired the admiration of critics and audiences as thoroughly as this sublime ro-mantic story set in Italy. Its long-running Lincoln Center production garnered an armload of awards including six pres-tigious Tonys. Set in the 1950s, a youthful Italian lad is doted on by his Tuscan family. His passions are deeply stirred by a beautiful American tourist, accompanied by her protective mother. When it turns out there are more significant barriers than language to the match, the American mother and Italian family must put aside cherished beliefs if their beloved children can seek happiness together. Trysts in Toledo (Los empeños de una casa) by Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, new English language version by Jac Alder December 11 - January 18 In the late sixteen hundreds, witty cloak and dagger romances set the fashion for the Golden Age of Spanish litera-ture. These entertaining plays were filled with wit, intellect and mischievous humor that thoroughly delighted the Span-ish playgoers. Trysts in Toledo follows the romantic confusions of a houseful of young nobles and their roguish ser-vants. Astonishingly, one of the greatest literary figures of that time was a nun, Sor Juana, living in “New Spain” which we now call Mexico. Her work displays verbal ingenuity; a dizzyingly complex plot played at top speed, and shame-lessly wears its fun-making on its sleeve. A passionate advocate of women’s rights, Sor Juana has a unique position both in secular literature and in the church.

Don’t Dress for Dinner breakneck farce by Marc Camoletti, English language version by Robin Hawdon February 5 – March 8 Infidelities and frustrated couplings are a long French literary specialty. Moliere, Marivaux, and Feydeau abound with witty repartee as men scramble after women, and women delight in the pursuit. In this recent Paris (and London) hit, a very modern French husband is planning to host a dinner in his wife’s absence. The dinner is a prelude to a liaison with his mistress, a plan the husband has divulged to his best friend. But, surprise! Can you guess who the best friend has as his mistress? And who is this beguiling female chef sent to concoct the perfect seductive meal? Murder on the Nile a 1930’s exotic mystery by Dame Agatha Christie March 26 - April 26 An elegant honeymoon cruise on the Nile for the attractive young aristocrats turns strange and dangerous with the surprise appearance of the young husband’s stalker. Despite both the protection of the bride’s guardian (who also embarks conveniently and unexpectedly) and the odd assemblage of other passengers pursuing solutions to ancient mysteries, perils mount for the giddy romantic couple. Before the doomed ship reaches its downriver destination, an audacious conspiracy roils the waters of the timeless river and lays bare the blackest hearts of criminal intrigue. Lost in the Stars book by Maxwell Anderson, music by Kurt Weill May 14 - June 14 Set in South Africa, this dramatic musical play (based on the celebrated novel Cry of the Beloved Country by Alan Payton) tells the story of a poor but deeply religious black pastor whose faith is supremely tested as he seeks to solve his son’s disappearance. He finds his son embroiled in desperate criminal acts of defiance; acts that bring him into a courtroom accused of murdering the son of a wealthy white landowner. This is a sweeping, epic tale crowned by an astonishing conclusion of racial reconciliation. The moving drama is framed by the magnificent music of Kurt Weill, showcasing thrilling soloists and splendid choristers.

He co-directed JEROME ROBBINS BROADWAY with Mr. Robbins and will recreate the original Jerome Robbins staging for Lyric Stage. After the success of last season's CAROUSEL, The National Endowment for the Arts has just awarded Lyric Stage another grant, enabling us to pre-sent Rodgers & Hammerstein’s THE KING AND I with a full 30 piece orchestra. Lyric Stage will be the first to present THE KING AND I with the newly restored Robert Russell Bennett orchestrations and corrected Oscar Hammerstein book.” Subscriptions are available for as little as $85.00 for all 5 shows by calling 972-252-2787. WEST SIDE STORY Book by Arthur Laurents Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim Music by Leonard Bernstein September 5-14, 2008 Carpenter Performance Hall The world’s greatest love story takes to the streets in this landmark Broad-way musical that is one of the theatre’s finest accomplishments. The classic Bernstein score includes “Somewhere,” “Tonight” and “Maria.” Directed by Grover Dale and featuring a full orchestra and the original Jerome Robbins choreography. FIORELLO! Book by George Abbott and Jerome Weidman Lyrics by Sheldon Harnick Music by Jerry Bock October 10-25, 2008 Dupree Theater Fiorello! tells the story of the rise to power of New York’s Mayor Fiorello La-Guardia. In a time when the crooked political machine known as “Tammany Hall” was up to its ears in corruption, it took this small, honest man to break their stranglehold on New York City politics. Fiorello! is a melodic master-piece whose take on corruption in government is as timely today as when it was written.

What is Cooperative Arts News?

The Mission: The CAN organization was created for the purpose of helping cooperative member arts organizations build audiences by supporting each other. CAN will send notifications to list members with news of member organizations' upcoming events and other arts news of interest. The Rules: 1. Since this is a "cooperative" of arts organizations supporting each other, member groups who

would like to post notices, agree to "receive" notifications from other member groups in return. Individuals will have the option at any time to "opt-out" if they choose not to receive future notifications by e-mailing the list manager.

2. In order to preserve the integrity and quality of the postings to this list and to prevent any unwanted "Spamming," all notifications that member groups want to send through this notification list must come through the list manager. Groups simply send an e-mail notification to the list manager with a descriptive write-up and it will be sent. If there are multiple notifications that need to go out, they may be grouped together to reduce the number of e-mails that are sent to the list.

If at anytime, you would like to be removed from this e-mail list or if you are a new organization that would like to join, please e-mail the list manager and your request will be acted upon in a timely manner. As always, thank-you for supporting the performing arts in the North Texas area! Regards, David Witherspoon List Manager d-witherspoon@ti.com

Approximate Distribution: over 25,500 and growing!
