Florida Repertory Theatre has announced the production schedule for its 2008-2009 season, which will include eight plays.
The season will open with Tennessee Williams' classic tale of depression era hardship in The Glass Menagerie, October 3-12. Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday, October 24-November 16, is a Pygmalion-esque comic love story about Harry Brock, a corrupt tycoon, and his showgirl mistress, Billie. Indian Blood by A.R. Gurney, November 28-December 21, will follow with Christmas in 1946. Truman was President, milk cost fifty cents and 16-year-old Eddie was in trouble at school again because of his restless, Native American ancestry.
Brian Friel's Dancing at Lughnasa, January 9-February 1, will open the new year with the Tony Award-winning play about an illegitimate son remembering his mother and her maiden sisters who raised him in an Irish village in 1936. Alone Together by Lawrence Roman will play February 13-March 8; Joe DiPietro's The Art of Murder, March 20-April 12; DiPietro's The Last Romance will follow, April 24-May 17; and the season will close with Shirley Valentine by Willy Russell, May 29-June 7.
