A Father’s Fabulous
Odyssey
Pericles, Prince of Tyre,
sets out to woo a princess
and sails headlong into
harrowing adventure.
Pursued by an evil king,
Pericles is blown from port
to exotic port. Along the
way, he finds the love of
his life, then loses her
and their infant daughter
in a storm-tossed sea.
Happily,this is a Romance—
Shakespeare’s first—where
in true storybook fashion,
miracles reunite the lost
with those who love them,
bringing joy and safe
harbor at last.
Irreverent Elizabethan
Fun—With a Soundtrack
A duke. A mysterious
prophecy. Two daughters:
one mobbed by suitors,
the other . . . not so much.
And all set to the beat
of 1980s pop icons the
Go-Go’s? An Elizabethan
love story is turned on its
head in this exuberant
musical by playwright
Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q,
The Further Adventures of
Hedda Gabler), inspired
by Sir Philip Sidney’s 16thcentury pastoral romance,
Arcadia. This world
premiere promises a
delicious mix of razor-sharp
wordplay, infectious songs
and romantic surprises.

Iraq War vet Elliot Ortiz has
a bright new career: movie
star. But shooting a film on
location in Jordan, with the
tumultuous Arab Spring
rumbling nearby, he finds
that his wartime nightmares
have followed him into
his new life. Back in
Philadelphia, his cousin Yaz
has her hands full cooking
for the homeless and trying
to keep her beloved
community from crumbling.
This powerful sequel to
Quiara Alegría Hudes’ Water
by the Spoonful explores the
places we live our lives and
the places we can’t forget—
all set to a joyful pulse of
Puerto Rican folk music.
Love’s in the air when Don
Pedro’s army, drunk with
victory from the war,
descends upon Leonato’s
country estate in Messina.
Traveling with him is Claudio,
who wants to marry
Leonato’s daughter Hero.
Meanwhile, Claudio’s friend
Benedick and Leonato’s
lively niece Beatrice hide
their mutual attraction
behind a volley of witty
insults. But their world is
shattered when Claudio,
influenced by a scheming
malcontent, levels a
shocking accusation at Hero.
A linguistically challenged
guard and his sidekicks
uncover the plot, casting a
beam of hopefulness in
this tempestuous landscape
of love.
This production of Much
Ado About Nothing is part
of Shakespeare in American
Communities, a program of
the National Endowment for
the Arts in partnership with
Arts Midwest.
Fate, Treachery, and the
Triumph of Honor
The Ultimate American
Family Drama
Edmond Dantès has it all—
a flourishing naval career,
loyal friends, a bright future.
But he also has an enemy,
a jealous schemer who will
stop at nothing to steal
what Dantès loves most:
his beautiful fiancée.
A trap is set, Dantès is
wrongfully imprisoned…
and the tangle of lies that
changes his life in an instant
takes years to undo.
Alexandre Dumas’ classic
tale of vengeance comes
alive in this 19th-century
adaptation that was one of
the most-performed plays in
America under its star James
O’Neill, whose son Eugene
later memorialized him in
the semiautobiographical
Long Day’s Journey into
Night.
Actor James Tyrone’s summer
home is haunted by alcohol,
addiction, failed dreams
and ghosts of resentments
gone but hardly forgotten.
Mary, his delicate wife,
nurses her losses and lives
in an idealized past.
His eldest son Jamie is a
failed actor who excels at
one role: the scapegoat
who, more often than not,
tells the brutal truth.
Only Edmund, the youngest,
might succeed if he can
overcome his heredity and
precarious health.
Christopher Liam Moore
(Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,
A Streetcar Named Desire)
directs Eugene O’Neill’s
semiautobiographical
masterpiece in which hell
is a family whose members
want to love each other but
don’t know how.
A Contemporary Delight
of Chinese Drama
Two plays—one a bawdy
retelling of a classic Chinese
fable, the other a poignant
story of a couple separated
in the wake of China’s 1949
revolution—collide onstage
when two acting troupes
accidentally book the same
theatre for rehearsals.
Amid the chaos, squabbles
and comical jabs at theatre
life, the two plays begin to
mysteriously intertwine,
their epic themes calling
to each other across the
centuries in a blend of
modern realism and Peking
opera. Internationally
acclaimed Taiwanese
playwright Stan Lai directs
his 1986 meditation on love,
loss and memory, regarded
as a masterwork of modern
theatre in China.
Please note the early
start time for this play.

‣ World Premiere
An American Dream
Shattered
A group of close friends
shares everything: drinks,
secrets and laughs.
But when rumors of layoffs
shake up the factory where
they work, the fragile bonds
of their community begin
to splinter and a horrific
crime sends shock waves
across two generations.
This powerful world
premiere by acclaimed
playwright Lynn Nottage
(Ruined, Intimate Apparel)
explores America’s industrial
decline at the turn of the
millennium with a look
inside a Pennsylvania town
whose people struggle to
reclaim what’s lost, find
redemption and redefine
themselves in a new century.
Co-commissioned with
Arena Stage through OSF’s
American Revolutions
program.
A Love that Changed
History
One fateful meeting
reshapes the ancient world
when the great Roman
warrior Mark Antony, like
Caesar before him, falls in
love with the incomparable
Cleopatra, Queen of the
Nile. His devotion to desire
rather than duty is the
beginning of a downward
spiral for him, the Republic
and Cleopatra, the last in
her bloodline.
Shakespeare’s tragedy
presents history as a
breathtaking pageant full
of passion, intrigue, exotic
locales and the larger-thanlife characters that brought
about the death of an
Egyptian dynasty and the
birth of the Roman Empire.
