2013-2014 Season Six

DETROIT by Lisa D’Amour
Directed by Brian Weaver
October 2 – November 3, 2013
A “sharp X-ray of the embattled Ameri-can psyche…a dark comedy as rich and addictively satisfying as a five-layer dip served up with a brimming bowl of tortilla chips.” -The New York Times

THE OTHER PLACE by Sharr White
November 20 – December 8, 2013
Gretchen Corbett stars in Sharr White’s riveting psycho-logical drama that critics have hailed as “piercing and tonally on-target” (New York Magazine) “curvy and com-pelling” (NY Daily News), and a “taut, incisive puzzle play” (Backstage).

JITNEY by August Wilson
January 15 – February 2, 2014
Don’t miss Portland Playhouse’s signature approach to Wilson, of which Portland Monthly wrote about this season’s King Hedley II: “if you like your drama strong and your performances intense, it’s unlikely that you’ll see a production this gripping… anytime soon.”

THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA Book by Craig Lucas
Music & Lyrics by Adam Guettel
February 26 – March 30, 2014
Discover what The New York Times calls “a blessing for those in search of signs of intelligent life in the American musical.”

AFTER THE REVOLUTION by Amy Herzog
Playwright’s Portland Debut
April 30 – June 1, 2014
Tamara Fisch (Race at Artist’s Rep 2012; The Scene at Portland Playhouse 2011; After the Revolution World Premiere workshop at the Williamstown Theatre Festival 2010) directs this “smart, engrossing play” that “crackle[s] with lively, natural dialogue” and characters that “are drawn with a perceptive sense of the contradictions that color personality” (The New York Times).
