International City Theatre Announces 2012 Season

International City Theatre has announced programming for its 2012 season, which is the first under the leadership of producing artistic director caryn desai.

The season will begin with Yasmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning God of Carnage (January 24-February 19), translated by Christopher Hampton. The savagely caustic comedy is about two sets of Brooklyn parents who meet to discuss a playground altercation between their respective 11-year-old boys.

Randy Brenner will direct the West Coast premiere of The Fix (April 24-May 20), featuring book & lyrics by John Dempsey, with music by Dana P. Rowe. This hard-boiled rock musical is about the American political machine, and will feature musical direction by Darryl Archibald.

Ken Ludwig’s Leading Ladies (June 5-July 1), is a comedy about two down-on-their-luck actors who dress as women to con a dying woman out of her millions.

In Michael Hollinger’s Ghost-Writer (August 21-September 16), acclaimed novelist Franklin Woolsey has died. But his devoted secretary remains poised at her typewriter – waiting to channel the words that will complete his masterpiece.

The season will conclude with the musical revue Ain’t Misbehavin’ (October 9-November 4), based on the life and music of Thomas “Fats” Waller, conceived by Richard Maltby, Jr. and based on an idea by Murray Horwitz and Richard Maltby, Jr.
