The 2010/11 Season

	THE LITTLE FOXES Written by Lillian Hellman Directed by Ivo van Hove September 10 - October 31, 2010 Acclaimed director Ivo van Hove returns to NYTW to take on one of Lillian Hellman’s most well-known plays, The Little Foxes. Van Hove’s fresh vision of this iconic play will be a study of how women of different races and classes contend with male aggression, power, and domination. Elizabeth Marvel, who has memorably collaborated with van Hove at NYTW, playing the title role of Hedda Gabler and Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire, will take on the role of Regina Giddens, the strong and determined woman at the center of Hellman’s web of deceit.
	THREE PIANOS Written, Arranged and Performed by Rick Burkhardt, Alec Duffy and Dave Malloy Directed by Rachel Chavkin December 7, 2010 - January 9, 2011 *Three Pianos* – The OBIE wining hit music-theatre event that wowed audiences and critics alike in its sold-out run at the Ontological-Hysteric Theater in March – is a theatrical explosion of Franz Schubert’s Winterreise song cycle. Filled with fantastical touches and inventive arrangements, Three Pianos is a colorful and imaginative evening of chaos that explores Schubert’s music, life, and times. Written, arranged, and performed by Rick Burkhardt (Nonsense Company), Alec Duffy (Hoi Polloi) and Dave Malloy (Banana Bag & Bodice), the play is set in a rustic cabin on a blustery winter night where three friends – each manning a piano – lead the audience through their perspective passions for Winterreise, Schubert’s famous song cycle on winter heartbreak. Performing the song cycle while drinking and grappling with fundamental questions about the nature of music, the three pianists slip into the skins of Schubert and friends during one of the famous “Schubertiads.” Compositional mayhem, shifting rivalries, and some unfortunate butchery of the German language ensue.
	PETER AND THE STARCATCHER A New Play by Rick Elice Directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers February/April 2011 Rick Elice, co-writer of the Tony Award-winning Jersey Boys and The Addams Family, along with actor-director-author Roger Rees, probably best known for his Tony Award-winning performance in The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, and Drama Desk and OBIE Award-winning director Alex Timbers, founder and artistic director of les Freres Corbusier and director of the highly-acclaimed production of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, have created an imaginative new play based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson, Peter and the Starcatchers. In it, a company of 12 actors play some 50 characters on a journey to answer the century-old questions: How did Peter become The Boy Who Would Not Grow Up?
	THE SHAGGS: PHILOSOPHY OF THE WORLD Book by Joy Gregory Music by Gunnar Madsen Lyrics by Joy Gregory and Gunnar Madsen Story by Joy Gregory, Gunnar Madsen and John Langs Directed by John Langs A co-production with Playwrights Horizons May/June 2011 They defined cult status and were gone in the blink of an eye. Fremont, NH, the early ‘70s. A working class dad has a vision of rock n’ roll destiny for his three talentless daughters, convinced they’re his family’s one-way ticket out of poverty and obscurity. But the girls have ideas of their own - and as their father ambition turns to obsession, the price of familial obligation becomes all to clear. Based on a true story, *The Shaggs: Philosophy of the World* is directed by John Langs and adapted for stage by Joy Gregory, Gunnar Madsen and John Langs.
