This event will be held at The Veterans Memorial Auditorium located at 1 Avenue of Arts Providence, RI 02903. VMA is adjacent to the Renaissance Providence Hotel, near the State House.

Defending the Caveman is a hilarious play about the ways men and women relate to each other. Without taking sides, this insightful comedy discusses the ongoing battle for understanding between the sexes. Through its hysterical observations into contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zones, Defending the Caveman mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone.

thumb_WICKED2.jpg

Long before Dorothy drops in, two other girls meet in the Land of Oz. One – born with emerald-green skin – is smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very popular. WICKED tells the story of their remarkable odyssey, and how these two unlikely friends grow to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch.

Back by "Popular" Demand. The New York Times calls WICKED "Broadway’s biggest blockbuster," and when it first played PPAC, it broke box office records and sold out in record time. Winner of 26 major awards, including a Grammy and three Tony Awards, WICKED is "a show that’s got everything - catchy plot, soaring tunes from Stephen Schwartz, and some spectacular scenic effects from Tony-winning designer, Eugene Lee. But there are also layers of depth and subtlety, as the show takes on issues of diversity, political corruption and the vicissitudes of human nature. It’s a show that questions good and evil, right and wrong, and looks at the gray areas in between". (Providence Journal).

Classical III "Two Giants: Tchaikovsky & Beethoven"
Saturday 2/6/2010
8:00 pm EST

Zeiterion Theatre, New Bedford, MA

 

Marina Lomazov, Piano | READ
John Adams: The Chairman Dances
Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1, Op. 23
Beethoven: Symphony No. 5


Pre-concert Prelude at the Z - 6:45 - 7:15 pm
(free with evening ticket purchase)

The NBSO’s February Concert will begin with a tantalizing piece by one of the most-performed and influential (and also local) living composers of the 20th century, John Adams. The Chairman Dances is based on a scene from Adams’ three-act opera, Nixon in China. The delightfully seductive music sets the scene of Chinese Chairman Mao and Madame Mao as they dance the foxtrot, evoking memories of “1930’s Shanghai” when the once young couple wistfully danced to gramophone recordings.

Directed By
Lawrence R. Houbre, Jr.

 

A cascade of comedy and a solid hit on Broadway, this affair takes place inside an American embassy behind the Iron Curtain. An American tourist, a caterer by trade, and his wife and daughter rush into the embassy two steps ahead of the police who suspect them of spying and picture taking. It's not much of a refuge, for the ambassador is absent and his son, now in charge, has been expelled from a dozen countries and the continent of Africa. Nevertheless, they carefully and frantically plot their escape, and the ambassador's son and the caterer's daughter even have time to fall in love.


For information or to make a reservation call the theatre box office at (508) 993-0772.

 

The theater is located in the auditorium of St. Martin’s Episcopal Church.
