showing of
Joe + Belle

for the Performing Arts. Please tell your friends and join us if you are

Mix
a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty
Python and you have … Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39 Steps. A mind-blowing
cast of four actors play over 150 characters in this fast-paced tale of
an ordinary man on an extraordinarily entertaining adventure. The
madness begins when mild-mannered Richard Hannay starts his evening at
the theatre and ends the night with a dead body in his lap. Caught in
maze of murder, espionage and flirtatious entanglements, our hero
careens from the British music hall to the moors of Scotland and back to
the London Palladium in search of a plausible alibi and the true
identity of the killer. Broadway’s most intriguing, most riotous, most
unmissable Tony-winning comedy smash proves that anything the movies can
do, the theatre can do more hilariously! Alfred Hitchcock’s The 39
Steps, Adapted by Patrick Barlow, From the novel by John Buchan, From
the movie by Alfred Hitchcock, Directed by Joel Sass. Phoenix: February
9 – 26, 2012 ALFRED HITCHCOCK'S THE 39 STEPS DELIVERS RIOTOUS

Dead
Man’s Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl plays at the Herberger Theater
Center opening Feb 24 through Mar 11, 2012. After you’re gone, how will
you be remembered? Jean is just trying to enjoy a quiet cup of coffee in
a café, when a cell phone belonging to the man at the next table starts
to ring. And ring. And ring. Jean realizes the man isn't answering
it…because he's dead. Out of confusion, annoyance and the tiniest bit of
sick curiosity, she answers his phone. So begins DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE,
a wildly imaginative new comedy by playwright Sarah Ruhl, who authored
last season’s smash IN THE NEXT ROOM (OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY). A funny and
often times otherworldly play "hung up" on how we memorialize the dead -
and how that remembering changes us - DEAD MAN’S CELL PHONE is the
lyrical odyssey of a woman forced to confront her own assumptions about
morality, redemption, and the need to connect in a technologically
obsessed world. "…beguiling new comedy…Ms. Ruhl’s work blends the
mundane and the metaphysical, the blunt and the obscure, the patently
bizarre and the bizarrely moving." - The New York Times |
