"Art"
by: Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
- "A remarkably wise, witty
and intelligent comedy."
--The Times
How much would you pay for a white-on-white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be considered high art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. Marc thinks it's anything but art, but is it the painting that offends him, or Serge's willingness to follow the latest trends? Don't miss this hilarious and acerbic Tony Award-winning comedy that examines the meaning of art, friendship, peer pressure...and the ultimate value of those you love.

"God of Carnage"
by Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
- "An expert piece of stagecraft,
and savagely funny."
--International Herald Tribune
The Internationally-acclaimed comedy brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents after a playground altercation between their eleven-year-old boys. Though the meeting to resolve the matter begins with polite pleasantries, it quickly descends into primal madness as tempers flare, loyalties shift and the parents devolve into children. Don't miss this Tony Award-winning comedy that both strikes a chord and hits a funny bone all in one fell swoop!

"The Whipping Man"
by Matthew Lopez
March 15 - 30, 2013
Preview Performance March 14
- "A mesmerizing drama."
--Peter Filichia,
Newark Star-Ledger
In 1865, The Civil War is over and throughout the south, slaves are being freed, soldiers are returning home and in Jewish homes, the annual celebration of Passover is being celebrated. Three men are at a crossroads-a Jewish Confederate soldier who has returned from battle, and his two former slaves. As the three men reunite to celebrate Passover, they wrestle with their shared past and the reality of the new world in which they find themselves. The Whipping Man is a play about redemption and forgiveness, about the lasting scars of slavery, and the responsibility that comes with freedom.

"Master Class"
by Terrence McNally
April 5 - April 21, 2013
Preview performance April 4th
"Get a ticket: MASTER CLASS
is mesmerizing theater."
--Star-Ledger.
"Master Class... will be talked about for years to come whenever people point to theatre experiences that genuinely deserve to be labeled by the overused word 'great.'"
--The Hollywood Reporter.
This Tony-award winning play takes inspiration from the life of opera diva Maria Callas, after her voice has given out and she has taken to teaching Master Classes at Julliard. Join her center stage as she coaxes, prods and inspires her opera students into giving the performances of their lives, while she entertains us with secrets of her own, while she reminisces on the triumphs and tragedies of her life and career. Filled with funny quips about life and love, insights into what it means to be human, and interesting perspectives on the creation of art and bringing a song to life, this beautiful musical play is not to be missed!
This production will take place at the Daniels Pavilion at the Philharmonic Center.
