Pinter's Old Times at the Kitchen Theatre


The Kitchen Theatre Company is pleased to continue its 17th Main Stage Season with Harold Pinter's haunting classic OLD TIMES (Previews March 20 and 21; press opening March 22nd and runs through April 13th, 2008). In 1971, The Observer said of the play "Wonderfully taut, comic and ominous, OLD TIMES shows Pinter more and more himself and less like any other playwright writing today." More than thirty years later, Pinter's plays continue to intrigue and challenge audiences with Pinter's signature "comedy of menace." Harold Pinter is widely viewed as the most influential and accomplished playwright in postwar Britain and was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Kate (Camilla Schade) and her husband, Deeley (Greg Bostwick), live in an isolated farmhouse by the sea. The mundane harmony of their lives is disturbed when Kate's old friend Anna (Leigh Keeley) comes to stay. A night of reminiscing between the married couple and the old friend becomes a struggle to discover the truth in memory, desire in love, and to whom the past belongs. A battle for possession begins in which past and present merge with shattering consequences.

Garrick Ohlsson At Bailey Hall
Tuesday, April 8, 8PM.

Since his triumph as winner of the 1970 Chopin International Piano Competition, pianist Garrick Ohlsson has established himself worldwide as a musician of magisterial interpretive and technical prowess. Although he has long been regarded as one of the world's leading exponents of the music of Frédéric Chopin, Mr. Ohlsson commands an enormous repertoire, which ranges over the entire piano literature. A student of the late Claudio Arrau, Mr. Ohlsson has come to be noted for his masterly performances of the works of Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, as well as the Romantic repertoire. His concerto repertoire alone is unusually wide and eclectic - ranging from Haydn and Mozart to works of the 21st century - and to date he has at his command some 80 concertos.

Hangar Season Promises Plenty!

This summer, the Hangar Theatre has an extraordinary and diverse collection of stories, for both young and old, to present on their stage! Mainstage features include:  brilliantly-crafted, complacency-rattling plays, boot-stomping musicals, hilarious comedies as well as a groundbreaking regional premiere, a one-person critically-acclaimed hit, an Irish classic, a beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein American treasure, and an Obie-winning rock musical.  And, to top it all off, they've made room for a special limited engagement-- a side-splitting, uproarious Off-Broadway comedy you won't want to miss.  KIDDSTUFF is equally exciting with classic tales, gut-busting slapstick and fantastical penguins! And, if you're looking for provocative late-evening entertainment, check out the talented Lab Company's cutting edge performances at the Wedge.

Single tickets go on sale MAY 1, 2008!
