The Goodman Theater has announced a revised line-up for its 2010-2011 season. The previously reported world premiere of Regina Taylor’s Rain has been expanded to a staging of her trilogy of shorts, collectively titled The Trinity River Plays, which also include the works Jar Fly and Ghoststory. All three one-acts will be performed by the same cast during the same evening, running January 15-February 20. Ethan McSweeny will direct the production, which is co-produced by Dallas Thater Center.

Also new to the Goodman’s schedule is a collaboration with Teatro Vista for the world premiere of El Nogalar by Tanya Saracho, running March 26 – April 24, to be directed by Cecilie Keenan. In addition, the Goodman will partner with the Museum of Contemporary Art to bring Mark O’Rowe’s Terminus from the Dublin-based Abbey Theatre to Chicago. It will perform at the MCA, March 2 – 6.

As previously announced, the Goodman season will also include Mary Zimmerman’s production of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide (September 17-October 26), Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage (March 5-April 10), Sarah Ruhl’s Stage Kiss (April 30-June 5), David Henry Hwang’s Chinglish, directed by Leigh Silverman (June 18-July 24), Anton Chekhov’s The Seagull, directed by Robert Falls (October 16-November 14), and Thomas Bradshaw’s Mary, directed by May Adrales (February 5-March 6).
