2009-2010 Season

A Moon for the Misbegotten by Eugene O’Neill
Directed by David Barbaree (Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Constant Wife, The Road to Mecca)
September 18 – October 11, 2009
One of the great classic American plays, Eugene O’Neill’s great lyrical drama about love, loss, and redemption opens our season. Josie and Jim, two people in very different life circumstances find each other on a moonlit night, trying to forget the desolate reality of their lives. Will their hopes and their love prevail in the morning?

Arms and the Man by George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Heike Hambley (Bach at Leipzig, Copenhagen)
November 20 — December 13, 2009

In the wonderfully appropriate Balkan setting Shaw blasts the ridiculous idealization of military heroism and romantic love. In the love story of Raina, a young Bulgarian woman, he is at his best as an acute social observer and critic of his time and society, but his mockery and satire pertain to us as well!

Beyond Therapy by Christopher Durang
Directed by Ron Lan (Santaland Diaries, Exit the King, Doll’s House)
February 5 – February 28, 2010
Durang’s successful satirical play explores excesses and foibles of the psychotherapy profession. His heroine Prudence seeks love and fulfillment, but will she find the man of her dreams? What are his dreams and what kind of relationship is he looking for? Join these two and their nervous friends in this hilarious romp as they attempt to unlock the mysteries of love.

The Life of Galileo Galilei by Bertolt Brecht
Directed by Founding Artistic Director Jack Souza
April 23 – May 16, 2010
Brecht’s masterpiece about the scientist and the dilemma between ethics and authority Prospect is excited to be tackling such a seminal piece of 20th Century theater. Considered by many to be Brecht’s finest work, it is a play that explores huge, world transforming events in their most human and intimate form.
