1994-95 Mermaid Players Season Three Sisters by Anton Chekhov October 7,8,10,11
The works of Russia's greatest playwright masterfully blend comedy and pathos, creating a richness of texture and characterization rarely seen since Shakespeare. With Three Sisters, his portrait of the Prozorov family's elusive dream of returning to an idealized Moscow, Chekhov captures a restlessness and yearning which remain enduringly modern.
by James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim February 10,11,13,14
Little Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, Rapunzel, Jack (of Beanstalk fame), Prince Charming and, of course, The Witch, go into the woods and discover more than they ever expected about themselves, each other, and the consequences of their actions. In this brilliant parable for our times, Lapine and Sondheim show us how "hapily ever after" is easily said and less easily achieved. Into the Woods is a sweeping, magical musical that shares the power and humor of parenting, storytelling, and growing up.
by Thornton Wilder April 7,8,10,11
Three decades ago, the Mermaid Players performed Our Town as the inaugural production of the brand-new Mathers Theatre. Now, we're honoring the 30th birthday of our theatrical home with a new production of the quintessential American stage classic. This richly theatrical journey through Grover's Corners won Wilder the Pulitzer Prize and has delighted audiences with its warmth, humor, and exuberant celebration of small-town life since its debut in 1938.
