Included in the lineup is the world premiere of Amerikin by Proof of Love playwright Chisa Hutchinson; Octavio Solis' Quixote Nuevo; and Lawrence Wright's political drama Camp David—about the history-making peace accord between Egypt and Israel—directed by The Public Theater's artistic director Oskar Eustis.
“I am excited to continue the artistic legacy of the Alley and turn the page to a new chapter at the Theatre,” said Melrose. “This season, my first as Alley Artistic Director, I drew inspiration from the community I now call home. Infused with the vibrant cultures that exist in Houston and showcasing the incredibly talented Resident Acting Company, the season includes references to the literary world with adaptations of Jane Austen, George Orwell and Miguel de Cervantes alongside new works by acclaimed Texas author Lawrence Wright and playwright Chisa Hutchinson."
Melrose will direct three productions as part of the season: Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express adapted by Ken Ludwig; Shakespeare's A Winter's Tale; and Michael Gene Sullivan’s stage adaptation of 1984.
Rounding out the season are Vietgone by Qui Nguyen, Sarah Ruhl’s Dead Man’s Cell Phone, Kate Hamill’s adaptation of the Jane Austen classic Sense and Sensibility, and holiday additions A Christmas Carol and Fully Committed.
George C. Wolfe is directing the new production, co-starring Danny Burstein and Joy Woods.
Lana Gordon and Luba Mason will co-star in One for My Baby, including a score of favorite tunes penned by the Wizard of Oz songwriter.
The four performances will be open to the public.
Mr. Garcia was active across numerous international markets, founding one of Asia’s most prolific theatre companies while establishing an extensive working relationship with Lea Salonga.
The performer and TV personality will again play Roxie Hart.
The irreverent send-up of the blockbuster film Titanic continues Off-Broadway at the Daryl Roth Theatre.
The musical adaptation begins performances April 1 at Broadway's James Earl Jones Theatre.
The Modern Family star will succeed Eva Noblezada at the Broadway Theatre.
