UPCOMING SEASON

Our 2012/2013 Season: 

 

Harrison, TX: Three Plays by Horton Foote

July 24 - September 15, 2012

By Horton Foote

Directed by Pam MacKinnon

 

Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote’s stunning range as a dramatist is evident in Harrison, TX: Three Plays by Horton Foote. Foote explores the humor, darkness, and romance of the people of the titular town in these works: Blind Date, The One-Armed Man, and The Midnight Caller. Kicking off our season, these plays demonstrate Mr. Foote’s powerful insight into the human comedy. Pam MacKinnon (A Lifetime Burning at Primary Stages) directs.

 

 

 

Him

September 21 - October 27, 2012

By Daisy Foote

Directed by Evan Yionoulis

 

In the tradition of great American plays, Daisy Foote explores the institution of the American family in Him. Two siblings struggling to keep the family store afloat must decide which is a priority: their father’s final wishes, or their financial stability. It’s a choice that could tear them apart. This searing drama will receive its world premiere at Primary Stages, directed by Evan Yionoulis (The Violet Hour on Broadway).

 

All in the Timing

January 22 - March 3, 2013

By David Ives

Directed by John Rando

 

Primary Stages is pleased to present the 20th Anniversary revival of our hilarious 1993 play All in the Timing, in an all-new production. When it premiered, Vincent Canby of The New York Times told audiences to “Drop-everything-and-go! Spread the word!” This new production marks the first major revival in New York City since our original premiere. John Rando (The Toxic Avenger Musical, Tony Award® winner for Urinetown) directs this overdue revival.

 

The fourth production in our 2012/2013 season (March 18 - April 27, 2013) is still under consideration at this time, but rest assured it will be a provocative new play.
