4 THE PLAYS trinityrep.com trinityrep.com SEAS ON SEPT EMB ER 2017 M AY 2018 September 28 November 26, 2017 Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller directed by Brian McEleney with Stephen Berenson as Willy Loman This classic tale of the perilously high cost of the American Dream explodes with poignancy and relevance. Willy Loman desperately craves success for himself and his sons, but stark reality cannot live up to his dreams. The wall of delusions he has constructed quietly crumbles around him while a devastated and demoralized man searches in vain for a hidden path to greatness. Death of a Salesman is a Pulitzer-Prize winning masterpiece that everyone should see performed live. By common consent, this is one of the finest dramas in the whole range of the American theater. - The New York Times September 28 November 26, 2017 Skeleton Crew by Dominique Morisseau directed by Tiffany Nichole Greene with Benja Kay Thomas as Faye In Detroit, as the Great Recession begins, a makeshift family of four factory workers toil as their industry flirts with failure. With their future uncertain, Faye, Shanita, Dez, and foreman Reggie must decide how they will balance their own desires, their loyalty to one another, and their survival. More than a half century after Willy Loman struggled for success, this fresh, off-broadway play shows us that the quest for the American Dream endures. Morrisseau has heart...her rough-edged dialogue even has a touch of the street poet. Variety November 9 - December 31, 2017 A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens Trinity Rep s annual production of this holiday classic has consistently sold out in past years. January 25 February 25, 2018 Into the Breeches! by George Brant directed by Taibi Magar with Phyllis Kay as Celeste Fielding and Anne Scurria as Maggie Dalton Providence, 1942: Oberon Play House s director and leading men are off at war. Determined to press on, the director s wife sets out to produce an all-female version of Shakespeare s Henry V, assembling an increasingly unexpected team united in desire, if not actual theater experience. Together they deliver a delightful celebration of collaboration and persistence when the show must go on! A surprisingly modern and moving comedy about the singular way art and community reveal our boldest selves even in the darkest times. Playwright George Brant has forged a tidy little reputation for comedy. Chicago Reader

5 trinityrep.com THE PLAYS SEAS ON SEPT EMB ER 2017 M AY 2018 CONTINUED February 15 March 18, 2018 Othello by William Shakespeare directed by Whitney White Friendship and betrayal, love and jealousy. Once Othello s most trusted confidante, Iago s envy-fueled passions unleash a betrayal with catastrophic results for Othello and his beloved bride Desdemona. Shakespeare s profound tragedy is an enduring story of race, love, envy, and repentance. This stripped down retelling is the portrait of an unraveling mind amid a society engulfing and destroying its very best. No matter what spin you put on it, Othello remains a brilliant and painfully relevant piece of poetry. Director Whitney White April 5 May 6, 2018 Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias directed by Christie Vela with Timothy Crowe as Frank and Daniel Duque-Estrada as Pablo Pablo and Tania are new to the neighborhood. Virginia and Frank have been fixtures in the area for decades. They all agree that the chain link fence separating their yards has got to go! A quick replacement with a stately wooden fence will arrive just in time to impress both Pablo s bosses and the judges viewing Frank s elaborate English garden. Everyone starts off on the right foot, but when the truth about that old fence is revealed and Tania s vision of native plants and wild flowers doesn t align with Frank s pesticide-dependent masterpiece, a sparkling comedy of good intentions and bad manners blooms. bright and witty and clever. Cincinnati Enquirer April 26 - May 21, 2018 Ragtime book by Terrence McNally music by Stephen Flaherty lyrics by Lynn Ahrens based on the novel Ragtime by E. L. Doctorow directed by Curt Columbus with Rachael Warren as Mother and Mia Ellis as Sarah Based on the celebrated novel, the Tony Award-winning Ragtime reflects America at the turn of the 20th century where optimism and possibility are as prevalent as burgeoning racial and social volatility. The lives of an upper-class white mother, a Jewish immigrant, and a bold African American musician from Harlem intersect in ways that profoundly affect their families fates. A passionate, vibrant, Tony Award-winning score heightens the tenderness and tension that infuses these characters lives. One of the best musicals in recent decades.
