The Star Spangled Girl
by Neil Simon

Set in San Francisco in the 1960's, the play concerns three characters: Andy, Norman & Sophie. The story is a love triangle, mixed with politics. Andy and Norman are radicals who barely make a living working on their magazine, Fallout, which is dedicated to fighting "the system" in America. Sophie, a former Olympic swimmer, is an all-American, Southern girl who moves into the apartment next door. The play was inspired by a political argument Simon witnessed between liberal writer Paddy Chayefsky and a conservative woman.

Opens March 30th
Crimes of the Heart
by Beth Henley

Warm-hearted, irreverent, zany and brilliantly imaginative, the play teems with humanity and humor as it examines the plight of the three young Mississippi sisters betrayed by their passions.

"While this play overflows with infectious high spirits, it also, unmistakably, the tale of a very troubled family. Such is Miss Henley's prodigious talent that she can serve us pain as though it were a piece of cake." - New York Times

"It has heart, with and a surprisingly zany passion...it would certainly be a crime for anyone interested in the theatre not to see this play" - New York Post

"From time to time a play comes along that restores one's faith in our theatre" - New York Magazine

Opens May 4
Gutenberg!
by Scott Brown & Anthony King

In this two-man musical spoof, a pair of aspiring playwrights perform a backer's audition of their new project - a big, splashy musical about printing press inventor Johann Gutenberg. With an unending supply of enthusiasm, Bud and Doug sing all the songs and play all the parts in their crass historical epic, with the hope that one of the producers in attendance will give them a Broadway contract - fulfilling their ill-advised dreams.

"A smashing success! Scott Brown and Anthony King are superb comic writers" - NY Times

Opens June 22
Romantic Comedy
By Bernard Slade

Arrogant, self centered and sharp tongued Jason Carmichael, successful co-author of Broadway romantic comedies, is facing two momentous events: he is about to marry a society belle and his collaborator is retiring. Enter Phobe Craddock, mousy Vermont schoolteacher and budding playwright. Pesto! Jason acquires a talented and adoring collaborator. Fame and success are theirs for ten years and then Jason's world falls apart.

"A darling of a play...zesty entertainment of cool wit and warm sentiment" - NY Post

"An utterly disarming, lighthearted confection about love, friendship and theatrical trauma" - WWD

Opens August 10th
Voices from the Civil War

A musical retrospective of an unparalleled time in our nation's history. If you enjoyed The New Vic's look back at the music of the World War II era (Remember When), you will surely be moved by the heart-felt letters to and from the soldiers of the Blue and Gray and the beautiful music which defined an era. A New Vic original.

Opens October 5th
The Woman in Black
From a novel by Susan Hill. Adapted for the stage by Stephen Mallatratt.

Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, Stephen Mallatratt's adaptation of Susan Hill's best selling novel combines the power and intensity of live theatre with a cinematic quality inspired by the world of film noir. It is a formula that provides audiences with an evening of unremitting drama as they are transported into a terrifying and ghostly world. Perfect for Halloween.

"Don't go unless you like being scared out of your wits" - Sunday Mirror

"The most brilliantly effective spine chiller you will ever encounter. You are in for a treat" - Daily Telegraph
