HJT 2009 - 2010 Season

The Instant Play Festival!
September 26-27 Alexander Stage
 
Seven plays on Saturday, six on Sunday. After three weeks of workshops with professional playwrights Adam Rapp, Sheri Wilner, and Kristen Kosmas, students will receive a theme in the evening and write a play for rehearsal the following afternoon and performance that night.
 
Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
October 22-25 Alexander Stage
 
A "pair of star-cross'd lovers" defy their families, risking all they have to be together. Shakespeare's tragic romance, rich in poetry, atmosphere, and dramatic events, transcends the ages, and is as alive today as it was 400 years ago.
 
Frenzy for Two, or More by Eugene Ionesco
November 11-15 Freimann Stage
 
A revolution ensues in the streets while a couple wages their own battle at home. Is it too hot or too cold? The Venus de Milo or the Statue of Liberty? A tortoise or a snail? Classically absurd, this farce will disturb and delight.
 
The Merry Wives of Windsor Music by Otto Nikolai, Libretto by Hermann
Salomon Rosenthal, English Translation by Josef Blatt
December 10 - 13 Alexander Stage
 
Falstaff in love! Nikolai's delightful comic opera, based on Shakespeare's play, pits the amorous elderly knight against the two housewives he is simultaneously wooing. Produced in cooperation with the Whitman College Department of Music.
 
Annual Student One-Act Play Contest
February 10 - 14 Freimann Stage
 
Students submit original scripts. A chosen three compete for cash prizes. You are the judge.
 
Around the World in 80 Days by Mark Brown
March 4 - 7 Alexander Stage
 
 Stampeding elephants! Raging typhoons! Runaway trains! In this hilarious adaptation of Jules Verne's beloved novel, five actors play fearless adventurer Phileas Fogg and thirty-eight other characters involved in his wager to circumnavigate the globe in record time.
 
Wintertime by Charles Mee
April 14 - 18 Freimann Stage
 
The coldest season of the year heats up when everyone in the family plans a secret romantic get-away and ends up at the same country house. A raucous and romantic comedy about the miracle of love.
 
The Secret Lives of Coats Book by Stephanie Fleischmann, Music by Christina Campanella
May 6-9, 20-22 Alexander Stage
 
In this new musical, three coatcheck girls while away a long night, sharing their hopes and dreams. A vaudevillian romp riffing on class and identity, silver spoons and starlets, photographic memory and foundlings, and the holes in the pockets of our coats.
