The New York Theatre Workshop has announced three of the four productions that will comprise its 2010-2011 season.

Elizabeth Marvel will star in director Ivo Van Hove’s production of Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes, to run in September and October of 2010. The play is a timely study of greed, dishonesty, and one generation’s unstoppable drive to ruthlessly exploit the resources of a previous generation.

Roger Rees and Alex Timbers will co-direct Peter and the Starcatchers, a new play by Rick Elice, based upon the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, to run February and March 2011. A company of twelve actors, to be announced, plays some 50 characters — all on a journey to answer the century-old question: How did Peter become The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up?

Three Pianos — written, arranged, and performed by Rick Burkhardt, Alec Duffy, and Dave Malloy, and directed by Rachel Chavkin — is a colorful and imaginative evening of chaos that explores Schubert’s music, life, and times. Dates have not yet been set for this production.
