The Caucasian Chalk Circle
By Bertolt Brecht
In this imaginative retelling of the judgment of King Solomon, former village recorder Azdak has mistakenly risen to power and must decide the fate of a child as two women claim him as their own. One woman had endured great risks for the security of the child; the other woman is of wealth and able to provide for the child in ways the first cannot. What does Azdak decide? This tale of danger, romance and political upheaval plays out October 15, 2010 – October 24, 2010.

To Kill a Mockingbird
Dramatized by Christopher Sergel
In this adaptation of Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, racial tensions swirl in the pressure cooker of 1935 Macomb, Alabama. In the midst of this turbulent era, compassionate attorney Atticus Finch attempts to defend a black man who is falsely accused of rape. Told through the memories of a grown up Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, the play explores the irrationality of adult attitudes toward race and class. Through her memories, Scout recounts the consequences of “doing the right thing” and illustrates how Lee’s ideas of hope, humanity, and justice are just as resonant today as they were when her novel was written. This enlightening drama will run December 3, 2010-December 12, 2010.

Flow
By Will Power
In the Michigan premier of this acclaimed 2003 Off-Broadway show, the oral tradition of American storytelling will be turned on its head! Broadway veteran and Detroit native Aku Kadogo will direct an ensemble cast (a new spin to this previously performed solo work), to create a new-age tribe of American griots. This production is sure to be heartening and high-energy with six significant life lessons intertwined with cultural and social commentary. Underscored with hip hop rhythms and rhyme, this family friendly show will play February 18, 2011-February 27, 2011.

The Full Monty
Book by Terrence McNally and music and lyrics by David Yazbek.
In this fun-filled story adapted from the popular 1997 film, six unemployed Buffalo steelworkers, suffering from the aftermath of economic turmoil, ponder the idea of creating a strip act ( à la The Chippendales or Detroit’s own Henry’s Palace) in an attempt to make ends meet. This out-of-the-box idea leads to a greater understanding of both manhood and brotherhood. You can see their show-stopping numbers April 15, 2011-April 24, 2011.
