WHO’S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF OPENS JULY 27
Pendragon Theatre has seven plays that audiences can enjoy as part of their traditional summer repertory format.
The final offering, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf opens July 27.
Edward Albee’s masterful dark comedy delves into the heart and soul of a volatile marriage; a searing night of dangerous fun and games.
The play stunned audiences and critics when it opened in 1963, and was quickly labeled a masterpiece. “An irreplaceable experience… a crucial event in the birth of American theatre.” ( The Village Voice); “…deeply and truly a love story.” ( NY Times)
Pendragon’s production directed by Anita Montgomery, features Donna Moschek, Susan Neal, Tyler Nye and Bob Pettee.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf runs in repertory with: Jungle Book, Eurydice,The Imaginary Invalid, Moby Dick Rehearsed, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged) , Encore (a cabaret of songs from Pendragon’s musical history.)
The Imaginary Invalid Plays Again JULY 23
A dash of love, a pinch of greed, an unhealthy dollop of hypochondria and a barrel of laughs- a doctor recommended prescription for fun! Director Burdette Parks: “ One reason for the play's continued success three hundred plus years after it was penned is the very timelessness of the material. Even with the considerable advances of medical practice, especially over the past century, many of the basic themes and scenes in the play remain painfully familiar to modern audiences. The play was written by an actor/playwright as a vehicle for himself in a clearly theatrical piece with its primary goals being satire, comedy and entertainment.” The cast includes: Kim Andresen, Jason Amrhein, Harrison Ewing, Jordan Hornstein, Chris McGovern, Donna Moschek, Brandon Patterson, Clare Paulson, Fran Yardley.

The great Orson Welles said: “It is my finest work – in any form.”
Moby Dick Rehearsed returns to Pendragon Theatre this summer as part of its diverse 30th summer repertory season.
The acclaimed production toured to schools and arts centers around the region from November ’09 through February of this year. Audiences were mesmerized by the highly theatrical retelling of the celebrated novel.
Director Karen Kirkham: ’Call me Ishmael…”- the most famous first line in American literature. Moby Dick, the novel everyone has heard of but most have not read. Noted theater critic Kenneth Tynan wrote, “With this Moby Dick, the theater becomes once more a house of magic.” Moby Dick Rehearsed, Orson Welles adaptation of Herman Melville’s epic mythical novel, brings the fateful voyage of the Pequod to life using the power of acting and imaginative theatrics. “Moby Dick Rehearsed is simply a thrilling sailor’s yarn of a perilous,unforgettable adventure at sea.”
Through the support of a grant from Dickinson College, Dr. Robert Pound has composed original music to underscore Pendragon’s production. Much of the music, recorded and performed by Michael Cameron is for solo cello.
Moby Dick Rehearsed performances are scheduled for: July 31, August 17, 18 and September 1 at 8 p.m. and August 1 at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $20/adults, $17/ seniors and students, age 17 and under are $10. Matinee seats are $12.
Moby Dick runs in repertory with: Jungle Book, Eurydice,The Imaginary Invalid, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged,) Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Encore ( a cabaret of songs from Pendragon’s musical history.)
