Theatre Squared Season 13

“Once” — Aug. 22-Sept. 23. “A few years ago, Bob and I sat in a theater on Broadway and watched a production that we frankly loved,” says Amy Herzberg, T2 associate artistic director and co-founder, of the 2012 Tony Award-winning musical by John Carney. The show tells the romantic story of the artistic collaboration between two down-on-their luck musicians. “It had so much heart, music, high stakes and moments of pure joy — and the only thing we wished was that we could have seen it in a more intimate space. So this year, we thought — why not ours?”

“Skeleton Crew” — Oct. 10-Nov. 4. “Remember that name — critics have been comparing [Dominque Morisseau’s] work to that of Arthur Miller, and for good reason,” says Ford. “Her storytelling is just that brillant. Set in one of the last remaining auto parts factories in Detroit, we’ll see sparks fly on both the production line and in the company breakroom with this blistering new comedy-drama.”

“Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley” — Nov. 28-Dec. 30. “Those of you who know ‘Pride and Prejudice’ may recall the younger Bennet sister, Mary, who loves her books and has no patience at all for her older sisters’ obsession with romance,” says director of marketing and communications, Joanna Bell. “In this newly imagined, delightful and just a bit subversive sequel [by Lauren Gunderson] Mary will have her day.”

“Every Brilliant Thing” — Jan. 16-Feb. 10, 2019. “[This] is a truly beautiful, hilarious and deeply moving play about one person’s struggle with the highs and lows of life,” says Herzberg of the one-person play by Duncan McMillan (with Jonny Donahoe) that was a New York Times Critics’ pick.

“The Wolves” — Feb. 27-March 24, 2019. “I am really excited about our spring production [by Sarah DeLappe] — a finalist for the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and called one of the best plays of the year by nearly a dozen media outlets,” says Morgan Hicks, director of education and program development and T2 co-founder. “From the safety of the suburbs, a girls’ soccer team navigates life’s big questions and wages their own tiny battles — with the ferocity of a pack of adolescent warriors.”

“The Legend of Georgia McBride” — May 1-26, 2019. “‘The Legend of Georgia McBride’ [by Matthew Lopez] tells the story of an Elvis impersonator who is running out of money and luck — especially when the owner of the bar where he performs decides to fire him and hire a drag show,” says Ford, noting that The New York Times called the rollicking show a “stitch-in-your-side, funny new comedy full of sass and good spirits.”
