CenterStage Theatre Season 2011-2012

 

Regional Debut:
Imagining Madoff

By Deborah Margolin
March 10 – 25, 2012

Welcome to the world of Bernie Madoff. This shocking, new play by Obie Award-winning dramatist, Deborah Margolin dares to imagine the inner workings of the quietly bold and privately crass man who orchestrated the world's most infamous ponzi-scheme. Meet him in jail working his manipulation skills on a biographer. Be a fly on the wall during his private meeting with a renowned Holocaust survivor who becomes one of his most notable victims. Uncover the massive carnage in his wake as his executive secretary testifies before the Securities and Exchange Commission. Imagining Madoff is a poetic examination of morality and the power of blind trust.

“Imagining Madoff” is one play you must see. It is by far the best theatre around, a gripping bravura effort. – Register-Star

“Studded with dreams, parables, Talmudic quotations and dirty jokes that reverberate with meaning, Margolin’s mature and intriguing script is a far cry from the shallow re-creations of cable docudramas drawn from public records and overly concerned with real events.” – Jewish Daily Forward

Presented by special arrangement with the author.
Directed by Brian Coughlin

 

 

 

Parade
Music and Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown
Book by Alfred Uhry
May 5 – 20, 2012
1998 Tony Award Winner for Best Musical Score and Best Book.

Regional Debut!
Parade, the true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager accused of murdering 13-year old Mary Phagan in 1913 Atlanta, at last comes to Rochester. With a beautiful, evocative score by Broadway composer Jason Robert Brown (The Last Five Years, 13, Songs for a New World) and a powerful book by Alfred Uhry (Driving Miss Daisy) this highly acclaimed musical is at once a riveting murder mystery, a gripping courtroom drama, a moving love story, a profile in courage and a searing social commentary.

“Carries you through the gamut of emotion, and it stays with you long after you’ve left.” – Washington Square News

Directed by Ralph Meranto
Music Direction by Brian Clickner
Choreography by Meggins Kelley
