Little Women, The Broadway Musical at MLT

Music by Jason Howland
Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein
Book by Allan Knee
Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott

Produced by Andrew Barnett, Anthony Lombardi, Elaine Leahy
Directed by Alexandra Dietrich
Music Directed by Lianne Bunting

Based on Louisa May Alcott’s life, Little Women follows the adventures of sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy March. Jo is trying to sell her stories for publication, but the publishers are not interested – her friend, Professor Bhaer, tells her that she has to do better and write more from herself. Begrudgingly taking this advice, Jo weaves the story of herself and her sisters and their experience growing up in Civil War America.

A View From the Bridge

A View from the Bridge , by Arthur Miller
Produced by Julie Menard
Directed by Kolton Bradley

A View From The Bridge is the story about longshoreman Eddie Carbone, his wife Beatrice, and his seventeen-year-old niece, Catherine.

Beatrice invites her two illegal immigrant cousins to live with them until better accommodations can be arranged. Their impact on the household is felt immediately.

The play asks, how do we find commonality between different people? What is the experience of immigrating to the United States? How do you cope with being part of a larger society, but still hold on to your roots? In our current political climate, A View From The Bridge is as topical and relevant as it was when it first opened in 1956.

The Resistible Rise of Arturo UI

Written by Bertolt Brecht
Translated by George Tabori
Revised by Alistair Beaton

Directed by Greg Mancusi Ungaro

Written in the ‘30s, set in the ’20s, Bertolt Brecht’s epic gangster play was conceived to warn America about the preciousness of democracy. Through powerful, transparent allegory, Brecht shows us the path of an ordinary grifter, as he rises from obscurity to the pinnacle of power. This satire is a dark commentary of the perils of unchecked power.

Tickets!

About BERTOLT BRECHT. (Playwright)

Born in Bavaria, 1898. At 24, his cutting-edge Drums in the Night won him Expressionist recognition. His quickly written Threepenny Opera was Germany’s greatest hit of the 1920s. Revolutionary in form for 1928 Berlin – non-operatic, anti- highbrow musical theater – and cynically satirical, it irritated the Nazis; Brecht let Germany with his family in 1933. He continued to write in Scandinavia (e.g. Mother Courage) until the Nazi invasion. In California, along with some work for Hollywood he wrote The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Galileo, produced in L.A. in 1947. The House Un-American Activities Committee interrogated him that same year; he left the U.S. the following day. He established the Berliner Ensemble in 1949 in East Berlin, opening Mother Courage with his wife Helene Weigel; its 1954 tour to Paris brought him recognition as Europe’s most important director, a year before his untimely illness and death.
