Cigarettes and Chocolate In Cigarettes and Chocolate, this brilliant writer (The English Patient, Truly, Madly, Deeply), takes a humorous and human look at London life in the 1980’s that tests the social responsibilities of urbanites, who as Minghella said, quoting Oscar Wilde, “know the price of everything and the value of nothing.” Coupled with Hang Up, this is a stunning evening of two rarely performed works originally written to be performed on radio
2016-2017
It’s Time “A wise perceptive and astonishing show… when it is this good, theater is what I always thought it should be: the highest of arts.” – Sylvie Drake, Theater Critic
The PRT Shakespeare Project: The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good – in spite of all the people who say he is very good. Robert Graves (1895-1985) Shakespeare has inspired writers, poets, actors and directors like no other. His plays are full of high tragedy and low comedy, loud song and dance, forceful fights and naughty bits. No wonder they have survived the centuries!
Touch of a Poet “In drawing the story’s marvelously contradictory hero, O’Neill has distilled themes of Irish drama to something like their pure essence and lent them a sophisticated heartbreak all his own.” – Jeremy McCarter, New York Magazine
ART IN ITS MOMENT A Celebration of Theater, Art and Music from the Enlightenment to the Present Day. Featuring the exciting young Colburn Honors String Quartet!!
Set in the 1950s on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, MESHUGAH is a comic-tragic portrait of a community of recent Jewish émigrés living in the wake of the Holocaust. When Aaron Greidinger, an aging novelist and advice columnist, falls in love with the young, mysterious mistress of an older friend from his Warsaw past, dark secrets and bizarre twists threaten to break up the unusual romance. Emily Man brings to swirling theatrical life Singer’s poignant love story of lost souls in a world gone meshugah.
Please join us for a developmental presentation of Love Is A Dirty Word. Our country is riven by lines that separate us into group of identity, affinity, ideology. How does a little black boy born in Jackson, Mississippi make a home outside the lines?
Eccentricities of a Nightingale
Poetry of the heart ignites powerful desires that can no longer be ignored by Alma. The preacher’s daughter boldly seizes on a chance to follow her heart’s inclinations when John Buchanan returns from medical school to live in their small town where, too often, dreams die quickly. Tennessee Williams’s subtly seductive play centers on the passionately complex and sometimes cruel relationships to which love becomes vulnerable, when we are strong enough to allow it.
ONE MORE CHANCE!! If you missed SAFE AT HOME: An Evening with Orson Bean. It’s playing one more performance October 6th at 8pm.
My Girlfriend is an Alien. To find “the one” can be a search far and wide, perhaps to other worlds. But when green slime and tentacles become involved, it’s downright hilarious. A new play from the folks who brought you the Fried Meat Trilogy!
Two Plays by Anthony Minghella. Readings of “Hang Up” and “Cigarettes and Chocolate” Directed by Michael Peretzian.

RIPLEY.
U.S. Premiere! AUTUMN AND WINTER examines the relationship of older parents and their two adult daughetrs, during their regular monthly dinner. The play is rich, and powerfully emotional with bursts of humor, “Well worth experiencing if you have a taste for domestic combat.” –Michael Billington, The Guardian.
An Evening With Orson Bean. I put together a show about my life and performed it for Marilyn Fox, artistic director of Pacific Resident Theatre. Afterwards, she emailed me the following: “Orson, I was so blown away and deeply moved by your show. I keep thinking about it. I was moved to tears often and laughing the rest of the time. I want to produce it here at PRT. I believe it could really go to Broadway.” The upshot: We start previews Oct. 15. The great Guillermo Cienfuegos has agreed to direct it (fresh from his triumphs with Henry V and The Homecoming).
Devised Puppetry Project : explores the power of puppetry to create an emotional connection between an audience and a variety of inanimate objects. Ranging from adorable to devastating, DEVISED PUPPETRY PROJECT takes the audience on a journey that will make them wonder “how did we end up here?”

The Dock Brief. “A perfect jewel of a play” – British Sunday Times. In THE DOCK BRIEF, an unsuccessful barrister has been waiting for years to make a grandstand defense. He is overjoyed when he is assigned to defend an innocuous little man accused of murdering his wife. “Comedy is, to my mind, the only thing worth writing in this despairing age, providing it is comedy which is truly on the side of the lonely, the neglected and unsuccessful.” John Mortimer

The Homecoming. A darkly sexual comedy of power, set in 1960’s North London. Teddy returns home after living in America for the past six years to introduce his wife to the family. This daring classic challenges expectations of power and gender, and shows us that people are seldom what they appear.

ALICE SIT-BY-THE-FIRE By J. M. Barrie | Opened December 2007 – April 2008. Directed by Joe Olivieri. J.M. Barrie’s 1919 comedy is a far more earthbound affair than his earlier success, Peter Pan, yet it still provides a sweet concoction of precocious observations, misinterpreted dialogue and send-ups of contemporary melodrama.

HOGANS GOAT | January 2007 – March 2007 Hogan’s Goat is an award-winning 1965 play by William Alfred. The blank-verse drama concerns a mayoral contest between Irish Americans in Brooklyn, New York in 1890. The play’s focus is on the personal life of Matthew Stanton, the dynamic leader of the Sixth Ward, who hopes to unseat corrupt incumbent Ned Quinn. Stanton’s wife Kathleen fears campaign publicity will reveal that they never were married in the Catholic Church, a fact uncovered by Quinn, who also discovers Stanton was once the “kept man” (known as a “goat” in the lexicon of the time) of Agnes Hogan, Quinn’s ex-girlfriend who is now on her deathbed. Blinded by ruthless ambition, Stanton ignores Quinn’s threats to reveal his past and forges ahead with the race, ultimately destroying not only his political career, but his marriage as well.

KEEPING FAITH | May to July 2006 Pacific Resident Theatre presents the world premiere production of Alex Peabody’s Keeping Faith (One Man’s Journey into Motherhood). Written and performed by Peabody, this original play deftly explores the challenges of gay adoption in a world where the definition of family remains firmly pigeonholed as “Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.” Peabody speaks honestly and grippingly about his essential, personal desire to parent – -not just as a gay man, but as a human being. Anyone who has ever wanted to be a parent will relate to this courageous and unusual story. VISIT SHOW PAGE

DEATH OF A SALESMAN | June 2006 to July 2006 A 1949 play written by American playwright Arthur Miller. n was directed by Elia Kazan with Lee J. Cobb starring in the leading role of Willy Loman. The play attempts to raise a counterexample to Aristotle’s characterization of tragedy as the downfall of a great man: though Loman certainly has Hamartia, a tragic flaw or error, his downfall is that of an ordinary man (a “low man”). Like Sophocles’ Oedipus in Oedipus the King, Loman’s flaw comes down to a lack of self-knowledge; unlike Oedipus, Loman’s downfall threatens not the city but only a single household. In this sense, Miller’s play represents a democratization of the ancient form of tragedy; the play’s protagonist is himself obsessed with the question of greatness, and his downfall arises directly from his continued misconception of himself–at age 63–as someone capable of greatness, as well as the unshakable conviction that greatness stems directly from personal charisma or popularity.

OF MICE AND MEN | July 2004 – November 2004 A novella written by Nobel Prize-winning author John Steinbeck.

Based on Steinbeck’s own experiences as a bindlestiff in the 1920s (before the arrival of the Okies he would vividly describe in The Grapes of Wrath), the title is taken from Robert Burns’s poem, To a Mouse, which read: “The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft agley.” VISIT SHOW PAGE
