(Minneapolis/St. Paul) The Acting Company (TAC), in association with the Guthrie Theater, continues its 28-city national tour, stopping at the Guthrie Theater this month for the premiere of Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors. The production, directed by TAC Associate Artistic Director Ian Belknap, opened January 12 on the McGuire Proscenium Stage and will play in repertory with Romeo and Juliet through January 30.

 

The 2010-11 tour season launched on October 22, 2010 with a limited run of Romeo and Juliet at New York’s Pace University, where the company concludes its 28-city tour with an April 4 – 17 New York run of The Comedy of Errors.

 

Both productions again showcase the talents of young performers from the ranks of both organizations, including graduates of the University of Minnesota/Guthrie Theater B.F.A. Actor Training Program, as well as alumni of The Acting Company. The 2010-11 tour company includes Kaliswa Brewster (Amelia/Juliet), Ray Chapman (Egeon/Friar Laurence), Elizabeth Grullon (Courtesan/Peter), Whitney Hudson (Adriana/Lady Capulet), Jonathan C. Kaplan (Antipholus of Syracuse/Lord Capulet), Jason McDowell-Green (Antipholus of Ephesus/Lord Montague), Stephen Pilkington (Dromio of Ephesus/Abraham), Alejandro Rodriguez (Jailer/Officer/Balthazar/Romeo), Benjamin Rosenbaum (Second Merchant/Tybalt), John Skelley (Dromio of Syracuse/Benvolio), Jamie Smithson (Duke/Pinch/Nell/Luce/Paris), Sid Solomon (First Merchant/Angelo/Mercutio/Prince) and Elizabeth Stahlmann (Luciana/Nurse).

 

The Comedy of Errors, one of Shakespeare’s earliest plays, is also his shortest and one of his most farcical — a major part of the humor derived from slapstick, puns and wordplay. The story of two sets of identical twins accidentally separated at birth involves a series of wild mishaps based on mistaken identities leading to wrongful attacks, a near-seduction, an arrest and accusations of infidelity, theft, madness and demonic possession. Shakespeare sets all this action in one day and features a theme that recurs throughout his work: blending tragic situations with comedic resolutions and introducing slapstick to wide appeal. TAC Associate Artistic Director Ian Belknap will direct the production, whose creative team also includes Neil Patel (Set Design), Michael Chybowski (Lighting Design), Candice Donnelly (Costume Design), Felix Ivanoff (Choreography) and Andrew Wade (Voice and Speech Consultant).

 

Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s iconic romantic tragedy, returns for a second consecutive tour season and will again be directed by Penny Metropulos, formerly of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. As innocent young star-crossed lovers fall victim to family hatred and cruel destiny, swords clash, everlasting love is promised and a treacherous sleeping potion is swallowed in the greatest love story of all time. Evoking the lyricism of Shakespeare’s sonnets, Romeo and Juliet exquisitely embodies the brief joy of teenage passion and ecstasy, while their families’ mutual disdain and prejudice lead to revenge and an irreversible fate. The creative team for Romeo and Juliet includes Neil Patel (Set Design), Michael Chybowski (Lighting Design), Mathew J. LeFebvre (Costume Design), Victor Zupanc (Music Composition), Scott W. Edwards (Sound Design), Felix Ivanoff (Fight Direction), Marcela Lorca (Choreography), Elizabeth Smith (Voice and Speech Consultant) and Dakin Matthews (Dramaturg).

 

The company is also joined on tour by Jesse Jou (Staff Repertory Director), Karen Parlato (Stage Manager) and Meaghan Rosenberger (Assistant Stage Manager).

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

Read all the reviews!

 

Roundabout Theatre Company (Todd Haimes, Artistic Director) Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest, starring and directed by Brian Bedford.   The Importance of Being Earnest is playing at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42^nd St) in a limited engagement through March 6, 2011.

NEW YORK TIMES by Ben Brantley

The Importance of Being Astonished

“Mr. Bedford is perhaps the finest English-language interpreter of classical comedy of his generation, and he seems to pick up a Tony nomination every time he steps on a Broadway stage.” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/09/theater/09bedford.html?_r=1&ref=theater

NEW YORK TIMES by Charles Isherwood

A Stylish Monster Conquers at a Glance

“Within seconds of sweeping onstage, and with a wordless gesture as funny as it is subtle, the great actor Brian Bedford proves beyond question that gender is of no importance whatsoever in portraying the imposing Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde’s greatest comedy, “The Importance of Being Earnest.” …. It’s one of the great performances of the season; to miss it would most definitely look like carelessness.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS by Mark Kennedy

Brian Bedford proves Oscar Wilde’s ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ is never a drag

“The sure sign of a good actress is that you forget, over the course of two hours, that the woman you are seeing is, in fact, a man. Such is the case with Brian Bedford, who has adopted Lady Bracknell’s haughty sensibility and her stern Victorian gowns in a terrific new Roundabout Theatre Company production of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest” that opened Thursday.”

NEW YORK MAGAZINE by Scott Brown

An Absolutely Perfect (and Important) Earnest

“Each jewel of wit is polished apple-bright, and every performer is playing in the same key. Forget literary interpretation, forget clenched internal acting: There’s great damned musicianship here, and the joy of sheer comic virtuosity. For this we must thank, again, Brian Bedford, who pulls off actor-director double duty with uncommon grace. Having assembled a uniformly brilliant cast (including the great Dana Ivey as dotty governess Miss Prism, and the terrific, incipiently potbellied Fontana, who seems perpetually, girlishly overjoyed to be six months pregnant with himself), he’s free to make his Lady Bracknell the prime showpiece, not the show-saver she can become if lesser stars fill out her constellation. When Bedford’s Bracknell enters — a one-woman armada of pomp with a face like a guillotine — the world stops briefly, but the show does not. (When it comes to imbuing a single word with devastating hilarity, the actor has no equal.) To know something like scripture, as we do Earnest, and to have it feel fresh off the press; to anticipate every jape, and yet react with delightful surprise? To paraphrase Gwendolen: The suspense is terrible, not to mention funny as hell, and it lasts.” Full review: http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2011/01/stage_dive_an_absolutely_perfe.html

 

WALL STREET JOURNAL by Terry Teachout

“The Roundabout Theatre Company has brought to Broadway Brian Bedford’s brilliantly zany Stratford Shakespeare Festival staging of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of Being Earnest,” in which the veteran classical comedian dons wig and gown to play Lady Bracknell.  Desmond Heeley’s fantastic set, which looks like a giant marzipan sculpture by Georges Seurat, has moved to New York along with Mr. Bedford, and the new cast includes Dana Ivey and Paxton Whitehead, two of the American theater’s most trustworthy wits.”  Full review: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704803604576077791348875596.html?mod=WSJ_LifeStyle_LifestyleArtEnt

 

NY1 by Roma Torre

“Brian Bedford, leading an outstanding production of “The Importance of Being Earnest”, is truly as super as it gets on Broadway.  As written, Bracknell is already over the top among the great characters in drama. Bedford’s unique gift is to supply the skin, bones and teeth to make her bitingly real. Add to that impeccable comic timing…and a legendary performance is born. Brian Bedford is easily among our finest interpreters of comedy classics. So abundant is his talent in fact, he seems to inspire that level of excellence in all who share the stage with him.”

 

NEW YORK POST by Elisabeth Vincentelli

The lady mans up in a wickedly Wilde revival

“In this Roundabout revival, Lady Bracknell is played by Brian Bedford. She couldn’t be in better hands.

The 75-year-old star — who also directs — is consistently funny without resorting to camp or caricature. He’s a master of the precise pause and the arched eyebrow, evoking laughter simply by dropping his voice an octave on a word. Floating onstage like a galleon in full sail (excellent costumes by Desmond Heeley), he basically plays the Gorgon straight.” Full review: http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/theater/the_lady_mans_up_in_wickedly_wilde_8iPQ8PQ0wsUPq6qrMAFiqL

 

HOLLYWOOD REPORTER by David Rooney

“Oscar Wilde’s wittiest comedy sparkles in this Broadway production, and when its director is onstage, it delivers pure bliss.  Bedford unleashes a limitless arsenal of variations on dry disapproval and can do wonders with a pause or vocal fluctuation of a half-octave or so. Mulling whether Jack is worth adding to her list of eligible bachelors, Lady Bracknell’s grilling of him is comedy at its most sublime. But then, Bedford’s every line in this entertaining revival is a jewel.” Full review: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/importance-earnest-theater-review-71658

VARIETY by Marilyn Stasio

“It’s Brian Bedford’s party, so let’s give the old dear the rousing chorus of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” that he’s earned as director and showpiece of the Roundabout’s revival of Oscar Wilde’s scathingly witty 1895 comedy of manners, “The Importance of Being Earnest.” All foot traffic stops, as it should, whenever Bedford is commanding center stage with the imperial presentation of Lady Bracknell he originated in 2009 at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. But the thesp’s lifetime commitment to the classics (27 seasons at Stratford alone) also accounts for the technically assured craftsmanship underpinning this lavishly mounted crowdpleaser.” Full review: http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117944292?refcatid=33

 

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY by Melissa Rose Bernardo

“Bedford directed (and starred in) The Importance of Being Earnest in 2009; now he’s brought his vision, his deliciously deadpan Lady Bracknell, his set/costume designer, and his ingenue (Sara Topham) to Broadway. The result, thankfully, is a perfectly pitched, fantastically funny rendition of Oscar Wilde’s self-subtitled ”Trivial Comedy for Serious People.” A-

AM NEW YORK by Matt Windman

“Bedford, while dressed to the nines in Victorian attire, treats the character with the utmost sincerity and gentleness. This results in a brilliant performance that is just as hilarious as it is utterly convincing. Those who forget to read the Playbill might not even realize that the role is being played by a man, which is perhaps the greatest compliment that Bedford can receive.”  Full review: http://www.amny.com/urbanite-1.812039/theater-review-the-importance-of-being-earnest-4-stars-1.2607694

WOR RADIO by David Richardson

“The show stars a terrific Brian Bedford who, while also directing the show, plays Lady Bracknell to an uppercrust tee. The costumes are to die for and the three sets designed by Britain’s  famous Desmond Heeley are marvelous.  Everyone who goes will enjoy Mr. Bedford and his stodgy portrayal of a Victorian lady beyond reproach. He’s the reason you will want to see this well directed and superbly acted farce.”

Cast announced for Penumbra’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom at Guthrie Theater

CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR PENUMBRA THEATRE’S PRODUCTION OF

MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM

BY AUGUST WILSON
DIRECTED BY LOU BELLAMY

 

Limited engagement begins February 10, 2011 at the Guthrie Theater, Minneapolis

 

Production Photos available online at:

http://www.guthrietheater.org/media_room/image_library/ma_raineys

(Minneapolis/St. Paul) The Guthrie Theater welcomes Penumbra Theatre Company’s acclaimed production of Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright August Wilson’s gripping drama Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, directed by Penumbra artistic director Lou Bellamy. Part of Wilson’s ten-play Pittsburgh Cycle chronicling the twentieth century African American experience, the production features Grammy Award-winning artist Jevetta Steel in the title role as Gertrude “Ma” Rainey. A co-production with Arizona Theatre Company, Ma Rainey’s recent Phoenix run was heralded by Wall Street Journal drama critic Terry Teachout as “earthily direct, wholly to the point and impeccably cast, with Jevetta Steele hitting the center of the bull’s-eye.”

 

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom marks the third Penumbra Theatre production presented at the Guthrie in as many seasons, following the critically acclaimed productions of Gem of the Ocean in 2008 and A Raisin in the Sun in 2009.

 

The cast of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom also includes James T. Alfred (Levee), Lerea Carter (Dussie Mae), James Craven (Cutler), Penumbra founding member Abdul Salaam El Razzac (Toledo), William John Hall, Jr. (Slow Drag), Phil Kilbourne (Irvin), Brendan Guy Murphy (Policeman), Michael Tezla (Sturdyvant) and Ahanti Young (Sylvester).

 

Set in 1920s Chicago, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom deals with the issues of race, art, religion and the historic exploitation of black recording artists by white producers, as fiery blues legend Gertrude “Ma” Rainey is getting ready to lay down a hit record with her virtuoso band. As she strides into the cramped, South Side Chicago recording studio, she squares off against a battling quartet of musicians, a tight-fisted producer and her manager who’s just trying to keep the recording session on track, giving the audience a look at a time when even the most legendary singer of her day had to fight for every scrap of respect she could get.

 

Steele has appeared on Broadway in The Gospel at Colonus and in the national/international tours of The Gospel at Colonus, Buddy-The Buddy Holly Story, Bagdad Café-The Musical, The Sounds of Blackness and The Night Before Christmas. Locally, she has performed with Penumbra Theatre Company, Guthrie Theater (most recently in the 2004 production of Crowns), Mixed Blood Theatre, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts, Hey City Theater and Park Square Theatre. Her film credits include Corrina, Corrina; Hoop Dreams; Born to be Wild; Graffiti Bridge and Bagdad Café (for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for “Calling You”). She has four gold records to her credit and can be heard on her solo CDs, Here It Is and My Heart, as well as the original cast recording of Two Queens, One Castle.

 

The artistic team also includes Vicki M. Smith (Scenic Designer), Mathew J. LeFebvre (Costume Designer), Don Darnutzer (Lighting Designer), Brian Jerome Peterson (Sound Designer), Sanford Moore (Music Director), Brent Gibbs (Fight Director), Bruno Ingram (Stage Manager) and Jason Clusman (Stage Manager).

Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom previews February 10, opens February 11 and continues through March 6, 2011, on the McGuire Proscenium Stage. Single tickets start at $24 and are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE, 612.225.6244 (Group Sales) and online at www.guthrietheater.org.

 

PENUMBRA THEATRE was founded in 1976 by Lou Bellamy to make socially responsible art – art that demanded a response, art with intent, art that could create change. At a time when roles for black artists were limited to stereotypes and comical representations, Penumbra produced theater that roared with authenticity through the unrestrained and rich voice of black artists and playwrights.  This respect for cultural authenticity became Penumbra’s signature style – and demand for it has reached new heights from theaters around the country fostering collaborations, new productions, tours and awards. The 2010-2011season features Penumbra’s co-production with Arizona Theatre Company of Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, staged in Tucson and Phoenix, and in Minneapolis, MN at the Guthrie. Penumbra is also proud to stage the world premiere of I Wish You Love this April and take it to the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts this June.

Featuring a fresh, contemporary pop score from the creator of Jekyll and Hyde, WONDERLAND arrives on Broadway this spring following two sold-out national stage premieres.

LOMBARDI’s Judith Light featured on www.outsports.com

LOMBARDI’s JUDITH LIGHT FEATURED ON OUTSPORTS.COM

Judith Light is currently earning rave reviews for her performance as Marie Lombardi in Broadway’s LOMBARDI.  Today, she is featured on Outsports.com speaking to reporter Cyd Zeigler about her current stage role and her work with the gay community.

 

“What could a play about the roughest, toughest, most legendary coach in NFL history have to do with a gay audience? You might be surprised, but there’s plenty in the current Broadway run of “Lombardi on Broadway” to keep theatergoers of any sexual orientation intrigued and entertained.  At the top of that list is the performance of actress Judith Light who plays Vince’s wife, Marie. Light is best-known for her long-running stint as Angela Bower on the hit TV series, Who’s the Boss. Light has long been an advocate for the equality of gay and HIV-positive people. In fact, she said the overarching theme of Lombardi is exactly what drew her to the gay community in the late ‘80s and early ’90s.”  To read the entire piece, CLICK HERE.

 

Directed by Tony Award nominee Thomas Kail, LOMBARDI is an original play by Academy Award-winning playwright Eric Simonson, based on the best-selling biography When Pride Still Mattered: A Life of Vince Lombardi by Pulitzer Prize winner David Maraniss.  The production opened in October at Circle in the Square Theatre.

Roundabout’s THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST opens tonight on Broadway

OPENING NIGHT IS TONIGHT!

 

ROUNDABOUT THEATRE COMPANY

Presents

 

Brian Bedford

 

Directing & Starring in a New Broadway production of

THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST

By Oscar Wilde

 

at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway

 

Opening night is tonight for Roundabout Theatre Company’s new Broadway production of Oscar Wilde’s comedy The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by and starring Brian Bedford as “Lady Bracknell,” at the American Airlines Theatre on Broadway (227 West 42^nd St.).

 

The cast also features Dana Ivey as “Miss Prism,” Paxton Whitehead as “Rev. Canon Chasuble,” Santino Fontana as “Algernon Moncrieff,” David Furr as “John Worthing,” Tim MacDonald as “Merriman,” Paul O’Brien as “Lane,” Charlotte Parry as “Cecily Cardew,” and Sara Topham as “Gwendolen Fairfax.”

 

The Importance of Being Earnest began previews on Friday, December 17^th and opens officially on Thursday, January 13^th, 2011. This is a limited engagement through Sunday, March 6^th, 2011.

 

The design team includes Desmond Heeley (Sets & Costumes), Duane Schuler (Lights) and Drew Levy (Sound).

 

The Importance of Being Earnest is a glorious comedy of mistaken identity, which ridicules codes of propriety and etiquette.  Dashing men-about-town John Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff pursue fair ladies Gwendolen Fairfax and Cecily Cardew.   Matters are complicated by the imaginary characters invented by both men to cover their on-the-sly activities – not to mention the disapproval of Gwendolen’s mother, the formidable Lady Bracknell.

 

Wilde’s classic production premiered in 1895 at the St. James Theatre in London offering a stinging critique of love, sex and social hypocrisy that remains relevant today.

Tickets are available by calling Roundabout Ticket Services at (212)719-1300, online at www.roundabouttheatre.org or at the American Airlines Box Office (227 West 42^nd Street).

GOD OF CARNAGE original Broadway cast reunites in Los Angeles for six weeks only

ORIGINAL BROADWAY CAST OF “GOD OF CARNAGE”

REUNITES IN LOS ANGELES FOR SIX WEEKS ONLY

Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis

James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden

Reprise Their Roles at the CTG/Ahmanson Theatre

April 5 – May 15, 2011**

Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden, the original Tony Award-nominated Broadway cast of the scathingly funny, Tony Award-winning Best Play “God of Carnage,” will reunite in Los Angeles for six weeks only to bring this comedy of manners without the manners to the Center Theatre Group’s Ahmanson Theatre, April 5 through May 15, 2011.  Opening night is April 13. **

 

Matthew Warchus, winner of the Tony Award for his direction of “God of Carnage,” returns to lead the cast of four – all of whom were nominated for Tony Awards for their performances (Marcia Gay Harden took home the award).

 

“When I saw the original production on Broadway I knew that I wanted to bring the play to L.A. but I never dreamed that we would get this cast,” said CTG Artistic Director Michael Ritchie. “Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden – four terrific actors in four great roles squaring off at the Ahmanson. This isn’t just the theatrical event of the season, it’s the battle of the century and it’s only happening here in Los Angeles.”

 

After seeing this cast on Broadway, Ben Brantley of The New York Times wrote “Never underestimate the pleasure of watching really good actors behaving terribly . . . highly skilled stage performers take on roles that allow them to rip the stuffing out of one another, tear up the scenery, stomp on their own vanity and have the time of their lives.”

 

Hailed by Elisabeth Vincentelli of the New York Post as “. . .  gleefully nasty fun,” “God of Carnage” is set in a gentrified section of Brooklyn where two married couples meet to sort out a playground fight between their sons. At first, niceties are observed but as the evening progresses and the rum flows, the gloves come off and the night becomes a side-splitting free-for-all of verbal brawling. Linda Winer of Newsday said “God of Carnage” is “. . . brutally entertaining,” while syndicated columnist Liz Smith raved, “Hysterical! Fasten your seat belts and go!” and Variety’s David Rooney thought it was “Played to perfection by a scorching cast.”

 

French playwright Yasmina Reza received her first Tony Award in 1998 for Best Play for “Art,” which CTG presented at the UCLA/James A. Doolittle Theatre in Hollywood in 1999. She has written seven plays in total including the more recent “Life (x) 3,” “The Unexpected Man” and “A Spanish Play.”

 

Christopher Hampton has translated five of Reza’s plays including “Art.”  He is well-known to CTG audiences for his plays “Savages” (1974), “Tales from Hollywood” (1982) and “The Talking Cure” (2004) at the Mark Taper Forum, and “Les Liaisons Dangereuses” (1987 Tony Award nomination) at the Ahmanson (1988). He won a Tony Award for the book and score for “Sunset Boulevard” in 1995 and an Academy Award for “Dangerous Liaisons” in 1989.

 

Director Matthew Warchus was nominated for a Tony for directing Reza’s “Art” in 1998 as well as “True West” in 2000, “Boeing – Boeing” in 2008 and all three parts of “The Norman Conquests” in 2009 (he won the 2009 Tony for “God of Carnage”).

 

Jeff Daniels’ Broadway credits include “God of Carnage” (Tony Award nomination), “Redwood Curtain” and “Fifth of July” (Drama Desk Award). He appeared in the Manhattan Theatre Club’s American premiere of “Blackbird” and received a Drama Desk nomination for “Lemon Sky,” as well as an Obie Award for “Johnny Got His Gun” (Circle Rep).  His film credits include “Ragtime,” “Terms of Endearment,”  “Purple Rose of Cairo,” “Something Wild,” “Fly Away Home,” “Pleasantville,” “Gettysburg,” “Dumb and Dumber,” “The Hours,” “Imaginary Heroes,” “Goodnight, and Good Luck” and “The Squid and the Whale.”

 

Hope Davis received a 2009 Tony Award nomination for her role in “God of Carnage,” and also appeared on Broadway in “Ivanov” and “Two Shakespearean Actors.”  Her off-Broadway credits include “Spinning Into Butter,” “Pterodactyls,” “The Food Chain,” “The Iceman Cometh” and “Speed the Plow.” Davis was named Best Actress by the New York Film Critics Circle for her work on “American Splendor” and “The Secret Lives of Dentists.” Her extensive film credits also include “The Daytrippers,” “Next Stop Wonderland,” “Arlington Road,”  “Mumford,” “About Schmidt,”  “Proof” and “Synecdoche, New York,” among others. She received both an Emmy Award nomination and a Golden Globe Award nomination for her portrayal of Hillary Clinton in the HBO movie “A Special Relationship,” and an Emmy nomination for her work on HBO’s “In Treatment.”

 

James Gandolfini, nominated for a Tony Award for his performance in “God of Carnage” in 2009, is best known for the role of Tony Soprano in HBO’s “The Sopranos” for which he received a Golden Globe, four SAG Awards and three Emmy Awards. He made his Broadway debut with Jessica Lange and Alec Baldwin in “A Streetcar Named Desire.” His numerous film credits include “The Man Who Wasn’t There,”  “The Castle,” “The Mexican,” “Get Shorty,” “All the King’s Men,” “The Taking of Pelham 1, 2, 3,” “Where The Wild Things Are” and “In the Loop,” among many others. Next, Gandolfini stars in the HBO film “Cinema Verite” with Diane Lane and Tim Robbins. He was the executive producer of two HBO’s documentary films:  “Alive Day Memories: Home From Iraq” (Emmy Award nomination) and “War-Torn: 1861 to 2010.”

 

Award-winning actress Marcia Gay Harden received the 2009 Tony Award for Best Actress, as well as an Outer Critics Circle Award for her role in the original Broadway production of “God of Carnage.” Harden also received a Tony Award nomination for her performance in “Angels in America” (for which she won the Drama Desk and Theatre World Awards). Marcia Gay has starred in films such as “Pollock” (for which she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress), “Millers Crossing,” “The First Wives Club,” “Meet Joe Black,” “Mona Lisa Smile,” “The Hoax,” “Whip It,” “Into the Wild,” and “Mystic River” (where she received another Academy Award nomination). Harden is also well known for her Emmy-nominated roles in “Law and Order: SVU” and “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler,” as well as her role in the FX drama “Damages.”

 

Tickets for “God of Carnage” are currently available by subscription only.  Individual tickets will go on sale January 30.  Tickets and subscriptions can be purchased by calling CTG Audience Services at (213) 972-4400 or online at www.CenterTheatreGroup.org or in person at the CTG box office located at the Ahmanson Theatre at the Music Center.

 

“God of Carnage” is produced by Robert Fox, David Pugh & Dafydd Rogers, Stuart Thompson, Scott Rudin, Jon B. Platt, The Weinstein Company and The Shubert Organization, and presented at the Ahmanson Theatre by Center Theatre Group.
