那是1930年的夏天，在纽约的哈莱姆区. The creative euphoria of the Harlem Renaissance has given way to the harsher realities of the Great Depression. 小亚当·克莱顿·鲍威尔牧师. is feeding the hungry 和 preaching an activist gospel at Abyssinian Baptist Church. Black Nationalist visionary, Marcus Garvey, has been discredited 和 deported. 计划生育先驱, 玛格丽特·桑格, is opening a new family planning clinic on 126th Street, 和 the doctors at Harlem Hospital are scrambling to care for a population whose most deadly disease is poverty. The play brings together a rich cast of characters who reflect the conflicting currents of the time through their overlapping personalities 和 政治. 故事发生在盖伊的哈莱姆公寓, 受欢迎的服装设计师, 还有他的朋友, 天使, 最近被解雇的棉花俱乐部后备歌手, 演员阵容还包括山姆, 一个勤劳的, jazz-loving doctor at the Harlem Hospital; Delia, an equally dedicated member of the staff at the Sanger clinic; 和 Lel和, 最近从塔斯基吉移植过来的, who sees in 天使 a memory of lost love 和 a reminder of those “Alabama skies where the stars are so thick, 它像白天一样明亮." Invoking the image of African American expatriate extraordinaire, 约瑟芬贝克, 既是缪斯女神又是神话, 克莱奇笔下的人物在挣扎, 正如盖伊所说, “to look beyond 125th Street" for the fulfillment of their dreams." (from the rear cover of the script published by Dramatists Play Service, Inc.)

圣女贞德
萧伯纳

2008年11月19日至22日晚7:30
11月23日下午2点
萧伯纳的 圣女贞德 is the masterpiece of one of the world’s greatest playwrights. 写于1923年, 在贞德被封为圣徒后不久, Shaw wrote his version of her historic tragedy after meticulous research, which included the ancient transcripts of Joan of Arc’s heresy trial. 这出戏妙语连珠, 温柔, 背叛, 政治, 和矛盾, along with some of the richest characters of the 20th Century stage. 的前提 圣女贞德 很简单. The quote from the website of the Royal National Theatre for last year’s production says it plainly: “A country girl in her late teens declares her bloody mission to drive the English from France 和 to crown the reluctant Dauphin as King.“辅助, 正如她所说, 通过她的圣徒的“声音”, 凯瑟琳, 玛格丽特, 和迈克尔, Joan succeeds in her mission 和 in the process rocks both church 和 state. The Inquisition finds her guilty 和 condemns her to death by fire in the town square at Rouen in May, 1431. A surreal epilogue – a dream of King Charles – 萧伯纳的 brilliant piece of irony – closes the play.

一个时代的标志. Treasured 和 reviled, both then 和 now, HAIR, sings the myth of a generation. A musical for another age comes round again testing 和 tasting the profane 和 the sacred, 讽刺的和抒情的, along with the agonizing facts 和 the psychedelic fantasies of 1968, when American society divided against itself over a 4-year war that continued for 5 more years.

Staged walkabout style as never before; on the flattened, psychedelic floor of the flexible auditorium of the 凯克剧院. Reserved seating is available in the galleries.
Two-thirds of the audience will be sitting on the floor (there are no chairs in the “orchestra section") 和 will be occasionally asked to st和 和 move around the gymnasium style floor. The audience becomes an integral part of the staging, allowing for an experience of immediacy 和 intimacy rarely possible in live theater.

安娜Leath is the story of four Americans in France: two couples– one in the middle of life, 另一个刚进入成年期, who are caught in an unsettling dance of emotional need 和 sexual desire. 献给最近丧偶的安娜·利思, who has dreamed of finding a “bridge to life" from the isolation of her sheltered adolescence, life becomes available only through an accommodation to a complexity never hinted at in the stories 和 novels of her youth.

意志的力量 “…combines the complexity of serious drama with the visual 和 sonic arsenal of MTV" ——《十大正规网赌平台》
Viewed as a pioneer in the genre of Hip Hop 剧院, 意志的力量 has created his own style of theatrical communication, 融合原创音乐, rhymed language 和 dynamic choreography to produce compelling evenings of work. 他对希腊悲剧的改编 七、攻打底比斯,《 七个, recently completed a successful Off-Broadway run at the New York 剧院 Workshop. The play was hailed as both an audience favorite 和 a critical success, 和 called everything from “brilliant" (The Village Voice), 到“令人振奋”(今日美国), to “a spectacular offering to the theater Gods" (Time Out New York). 意志的力量’s nationally 和 internationally acclaimed solo show 流 has been described as “astounding" (CurtainUp) 和 “theater with the refreshing aroma of originality" (New York Times).
