The Train Driver by Athol Fugard United States Premiere! - Fall 2010 -
"This may be the most important one I've ever written as far as I'm concerned for personal reasons," says Athol Fugard. The newest play by the world’s great playwright. Inspired by a true event. A tormented train driver is compelled to visit a makeshift graveyard in the middle of nowhere, determined to find the unmarked grave of the woman he unintentionally killed. A haunting, mesmerizing and deeply personal journey into the human soul. Directed by Stephen Sachs
A House Not Meant to Stand by Tennessee Williams West Coast Premiere! - Late Fall 2010 -
A theatrical event. The last full length play written by Tennessee Williams has never been seen in the Western United States until now! By special permission of the Williams Estate. Thirty years before Tracy Letts’ August: Osage County, Williams wrote this spellbinding play about the McCorkles -- a blazingly dysfunctional Mississippi family you’ll never forget. This outrageous, dark, expressionistic comedy, which Williams called a "Southern gothic spook sonata," reveals the fragile state of our world and the hope and desperation of the human heart. Directed by Simon Levy
Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom - Feb 2011 –
Blues music soars as The Fountain continues its dedication to the masterworks of Pulitzer Prize winner August Wilson with this extraordinary blues drama. Following Gem of the Ocean and Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, the Fountain now presents the next play in Wilson’s monumental Cycle that chronicles the African American experience in the United States. In Ma Rainey, the time is the 1920’s. A run-down recording studio in Chicago. Legendary blues singer Ma Rainey lays down some tracks with a group of black musicians. But what erupts in the session is more than music. A dramatic fuse is lit and explodes with an unforgettable shattering impact. Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
