About: Belles of Dublin interlaces stories of coming of age and illicit love affairs gone wrong with traditional Irish music featuring vocals, flute, and Celtic harp.
According to Tim Treanor of DC Theatre Scene, “The stories are carved and scoured with language like a cascade of diamonds. It is not simply MacIntyre’s brogue which identifies the pieces as Irish. They radiate the sort of liquid cynicism which has marked the Irish literary voice from Swift through Frank McCourt. The protagonist tells her story from the point of view of love, and the opportunity for love, long past. This could be depressing, but MacIntyre makes it sound rueful, wistful, and, with surprising frequency, funny. That’s in large part because she excerpts her content from the writing of the fine, if underappreciated, Irish writer Edna O’Brien. I do not know what O’Brien would sound like reading her stories, but if she doesn’t sound like MacIntyre, I bet she wishes she did.”

Plays and Players Presents Take Me Out
Plays & Players, Center City Philadelphia’s longest continually operated theater will present the Tony Award Winning play “Take Me Out” written by Richard Greenberg and directed by Daniel Student.
Set in the world of professional baseball, “Take Me Out” looks at America’s National Pastime. How it is forever altered as Darren Lemmings, star of the New York Empires, comes out of the closet to his team, his friends, and to the public at large. As his deeply racist and homophobic teammate, Shane Mungitt, grows incensed by the news, Darren’s gay financial manager, Mason Marzac, finds a new hero, and the other players see their locker room in a whole new light, the only person who seems unaffected is Darren himself. The drama of the season unfolds on and off the field, with tragic results.
“Take Me Out” was the recipient of the Tony Award for Best Play 2003 and was nominated for the 2003 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It played 383 performances on Broadway.
Featured in the show are Chuck DeLong, Bill Egan, Sam Han, Gerard Joseph, Joe Matyas, David Mason, Ted Powell, Jerry Rudasill, Dan Sanchez, Ryan Walter, and Peter Zielinski.
Performances are March 11 – 27, 2010. Showtime for Thursday-Saturdays performances are 8:00 pm. Sundays performances are at 4:00 pm. March 11th and 12th are special preview performances, and all regular priced tickets are $5 off.
Following performances on March 12, 19 and 20 audience members are invited to a new play festival “Peanuts and Cracker Jacks” which will feature baseball themed plays Tickets are $10 or free with your Take Me Out ticket stub

Scapin at the Lantern Extended til Jan 10th
 |
SCAPIN extended by popular demand! Adapted by Bill Irwin and Mark O’Donnell and directed by Aaron Cromie, this offbeat re-imagining of the Moliere classic puts famous servant Scapin at the center of an inventive interaction between actors and puppets in a production stuffed with chase scenes, revenge plots, slapstick and spoofery, live music, and lots of theater magic for the entire family. Appropriate for ages 8 and up. Final Performances This Week! Tickets are $27-$35 Student Rush Critical Roundup “The humor is quick-witted and the laughs are continuous and varied: slapstick, political, double entendre, silly, and insightful. This is theater at its best.” -Philly2Philly.com [Go] “The cast’s verbal and physical dexterity never ceases to amaze.” -Philadelphia City Paper [Go] “The Lantern’s production provides a welcome diversion from reality.” -Philadelphia Weekly [Go] “Retains much of Moliere’s original structure but also thrillingly engages a 21st-Century audience, adults and children alike.” -Broad Street Review [Go] “Absolutely hysterical and undeniably amazing!” -Philly Theatre Talk [Go] “What a fun way to end the holiday season.” -Phillyist [Go] |
