TheatreSquared (T2) announced today its 2010/11 Fifth Anniversary Season, beginning September 2010. “Without a doubt, this is a landmark year,” said T2 Artistic Director Robert Ford, “with a thrilling new suspense comedy, a hilarious holiday satire for all ages, the World Premiere of a rich new work by an Arkansas playwright, and one of the most wrenching love stories I’ve ever seen on stage.” Each play will be newly envisioned by professional artists in the intimate Studio Theatre at Walton Arts Center’s Nadine Baum Studios, where the farthest seat from the stage is within fifteen feet of the performers. Subscriptions can be purchased beginning May 21, 2010 by calling the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479.443.5600.
“We’re continuing our tradition of high quality at an accessible price for audiences from all walks of life,” said Martin Miller, Managing Director for TheatreSquared. “On May 21, subscriptions to the four-play season will go on sale starting at $74—less than $19 per play. We’re opening up one preview performance of each production on a ‘Pay What You Can’ basis. And for the second year, the sponsored 30 Under 30 program will set aside thirty $10 tickets at every performance for patrons under thirty years of age.”
Closing out the season, TheatreSquared presents REASONS TO BE PRETTY by Neil LaBute. Nominated for the 2009 Tony Award for Best New Play, Reasons to Be Pretty is a hopelessly romantic drama about the hopelessness of romance. Penned by acclaimed provocateur Neil LaBute (The Shape of Things, In the Company of Men), the play is the story of Greg and his girlfriend Steph—and the fallout when a friend relays Greg's offhand remark that she has a “regular” face. “A real love story ... with the freshest, most illuminating dialogue anywhere.” — The New York Times. April 15—May 1, 2011. Mature language and themes.
Subscriptions, including The 39 Steps, Every Christmas Story Ever Told, Sundown Town and Reasons to be Pretty, begin at $74. Subscribers receive a number of benefits, with prime seats at a 15% discount over single ticket prices, as well as free ticket exchanges and priority customer service. Subscribers also receive significant discounts on performance evenings of up to 30% off at Bordinos, Brick House Kitchen, Ella’s, Greenhouse Grille and The Wine Cellar. Subscriptions can be purchased beginning May 21, 2010 by calling the Walton Arts Center Box Office at 479.443.5600.
Each production is scheduled for a three-week run, with performances Thursdays at 7:30pm, Friday at 7:30pm, Saturday at 2:00pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday at 2:00. Subscription packages are available for each performance time.
