The Clean House

The Clean House
By Sarah Ruhl
Directed by Laura Brienza (COL’10)
Oct. 8-10 at 8 p.m., Oct. 11 at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m., Oct. 12 at 7 p.m.
In Walsh Black Box Theatre

When married doctors Charles and Lane hire Matilde as their live-in maid, they get anything but a clean house. Sure, it looks spotless, but it’s soon filled with the dirty laundry of Charles’ affair with an older woman, Lane’s depression, her sister Virginia’s identity crisis, and Matilde’s struggle to find humor in a house in dire need of a good joke. A play about what it means to love and laugh in times when we never thought we could, The Clean House shows us that love itself is rarely clean. It’s dirty, like a good joke.

...And Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi

In collaboration with Black Theatre Ensemble
By Marcus Gardley
Directed by Reginald Douglas (Col ‘09)
October 16-18 at 8 p.m., October 19 at 2 p.m., October 22-25 at 8 p.m.

...And Jesus Moonwalks the Mississippi is a poetic retelling of the Demeter myth set in the American South during the Civil War. This play from one of America's hottest young playwrights examines how we shape ourselves in the face of history as it deconstructs ideas of identity, family, and race. Lyrical, musical, and magical, the play takes us to a world where trees preach, rivers dance, and Christ moonwalks.

12 Angry Men

By Reginald Rose
Directed by Kaelah Smith, COL ‘10
Oct. 23-25 at 8 p.m, Oct. 26 at 4 p.m., Oct. 30 - Nov. 1 at 8 p.m.
Poulton Hall Stage III

Twelve Angry Men is a taut drama depicting the deliberations of a jury after the murder trial of a young man. While the title implies a male-centric cast, this particular M&B presentation will be cast without regard for gender. The play explores the biases, ennui and differences of these 12 separate people to demonstrate the paramount importance of truth and justice.

The Race is a living piece of ethno-fiction, a suspenseful tall tale and a civic theater process engaging with the issues and dynamics of the historic 2008 Presidential election as it moves towards its dramatic conclusion on November 4th. Who will vote for whom? Who won’t? Why? Opening before election night and continuing after the votes are tallied, this unique, responsive performance event finds ways across campus and the larger DC community to ask: What does leadership mean today?

Watch for dynamic political symposia, a special election night performa-palooza, and other ongoing events.

Post Classical Ensemble: Voice of Mexico

Featuring Georgetown University Chamber Singers

Its concerts regularly incorporate folk song, dance, film, poetry, and commentary in order to serve existing audiences hungry for deeper engagement, and to cultivate adventurous new listeners.

Funny and bizarre, Raised in Captivity is a one-of-a-kind look at human relationships and the oddity of our world.

Drawing upon Ginsberg's poetry, this music/theater piece is a portrait of America during the second half of the 20th century. Its content ranges from the highly personal poems of Ginsberg to his reflections on social issues: the anti-war movement, the sexual revolution, drugs, eastern philosophy, and environmental awareness. The six vocal parts represent six archetypal American characters: a waitress, a policeman, a businessman, a cheerleader, a priest, and a mechanic.

In this classic comedy set in a fishing lodge in rural Georgia, Froggy and Charlie arrive as guests. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a foreigner and does not speak English. Due to his supposed lack of ability to understand the language, Charlie soon discovers scandals amongst some of the residents of the lodge. Does he speak up and try to put a stop to their devilish plans, or does he continue to live in silence as The Foreigner?

In 1953, Aaron Copland was subpoenaed by Senator Joseph McCarthy. How did the Red Scare impact on the artistic and national identity of America’s most famous concert composer? Our program traces his compositional odyssey; from student years to modernism, 1930s populism and radicalism, to an apolitical “late style.”

Featuring: Aaron Copland: Cat and Mouse, Piano Variations; Piano Fantasy; “Into the Streets May First” (audience sing-along). Plus a re-enactment of Copland’s testimony before Senator Joseph McCarthy’s Subcommittee on Special Investigations, and excerpts from the new Post-Classical Ensemble Naxos DVD of the classic 1939 documentary film The City, with music by Copland.

Jekyll and Hyde is a thrilling musical tale that contrasts the dark power of medical research with the power of love.

Pentecost

By David Edgar
Directed by Tim Raphael 
April 23-25 at 8 p.m., April 26 at 2 p.m., April 29-May 2 at 8 p.m.
In the Gonda Theatre

DC Premiere

The history of art and the future of Europe are called into question by events that transpire in an abandoned church in a Balkan country just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. David Edgar’s celebrated play is both a darkly comic political parable and a riveting thriller, a theatrically potent incitement to imagine anew the cultural basis for the European Union and the moral implications of globalization.
