The
Coast of Utopia: Voyage
March 14 – April
15
By Tom Stoppard •
Directed by Artistic Director Patrick Dooley
Securing
the rights to this epic trilogy was a tremendous coup.
Join us and meet the young, passionate, idealistic men
and women whose struggle for freedom ignited the Russian
revolution and changed the world. The West Coast Premiere
of this heart-pounding, poetic masterpiece has only been
performed in London, Moscow and New York before now. Don't
miss it!
The
Great Divide
May 16 – June 17
Directed by Mina Morita • Written By Adam Chanzit
• Adapted from Ibsen’s An Enemy of the
People • Commissioned by Shotgun Players
In
Doctor Katherine Stockmann's hometown a natural gas boom
lifts the economy, but she soon discovers several people
afflicted with a mysterious illness. One woman’s
search for the truth stretches the community to the breaking
point. Inspired by Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People,
this retelling examines what a person will sacrifice for
what they believe is right.
Precious
Little
August 18 – September
9
Directed by Marissa Wolf • By Madeleine George
Brody is a woman
in charge. She’s a smart linguistic scientist, soon
to be single lesbian mother, and she’s proud of
her accomplishments. Then things get complicated. The
best and worst of human nature collide in this funny and
heart-rending new play.
Assassins
September 26 – October
28
Book by John Weidman • Directed by Susannah Martin
• Musical Direction by David Möschler •
Music by Stephen Sondheim
Winner
of 5 Tony Awards! Politics can make anyone a little angry.
Sondheim lays bare the stories of our nine presidential
assassins – drawing back the curtain on a group
of Americans who took their frustrations too far. Their
justifications (set to music!) are just the balm for an
election season that is sure to rock the boat.
Woyzeck
November 29 – January
13
Concept by Robert Wilson • Based on the play by
Georg Büchner • Directed by Mark Jackson •
Musical Direction by David Möschler
Music and Lyrics by Tom Waits & Kathleen Brennan
A
musical Shotgun can really sink its teeth into! Dark and
demoralized, Woyzeck is a financially destitute soldier
who has been traumatized by war. The violence of his experience
translates into sinister behavior back home, making for
an intense and extraordinary night at the theater. Created
by legends Robert Wilson and Tom Waits, Woyzeck is a West
Coast Premiere, and we’re proud to have it on our
stage.

Truffaldino
Says No
June 30 - July 22
Directed by M. Graham Smith
• Written by Ken Slattery • A Co-Production
with Playground
Doomed
to repeat the traditional life of an Italian harlequin,
Truffaldino shirks his Commedia Dell’arte upbringing
and two-steps across the Atlantic to find a strangely
parallel world in the States. Genres collide when
classic commedia and modern sitcom share the stage
in a new work by local star Ken Slattery. |
