Jobsite Theater, resident theater company at the Straz Center, is thrilled will kick off its 24th season with this hilarious comedy from the original “wild and crazy guy,” Steve Martin.
The show opens with a Ghost Light center stage. As most shows of a Brechtian nature go, characters of nondescript fashion layout the evening events in the manner of Prologue. The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, or as it is subtitled “The Parable Play,” tells the story of the rise of Arturo Ui a fictional Chicago Mobster as he ruthlessly tries to control the Chicago vegetable market despite opposition. A political satire based on Adolf Hitler’s rise to power in Nazi Germany prior to the events of World War II.
These are the things that helped get us through a tough year.
A “living newspaper,” Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992 doesn't take sides or offer solutions to the complicated, fraught issues but instead presents the consequences from that moment, leaving it in the hands of the audience to consider.
Webster defines DOUBT as; “to call into question the truth of: to be uncertain of or in doubt about.” Webster further applies the following definitions for DOUBT as, “ a lack of confidence, an inclination not to believe or accept, as uncertainty of belief or opinion that often interferes with decision making, and finally a deliberate suspension of judgement.”
It's the fastest 85-minutes that you'll experience in the theater.
Jobsite Theater, already amid suspension of their production of DOUBT, A Parable, is cancelling both Bertolt Brecht's THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTUO UI (May 15 - Jun. 7) and Rajiv Joseph's ANIMALS OUT OF PAPER (Jul. 17 - Aug. 9). DOUBT is still planned to proceed as soon as it is deemed safe and prudent to do so.
Effective immediately, the Straz Center is suspending all performances, classes and events including Jobsite Theater's production of DOUBT, A Parable. This suspension is in effect through April 19.
Jobsite presents John Patrick Shanley's 2005 winner of both the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, DOUBT, A PARABLE.
freeFall Theatre, American Stage, Jobsite, Stageworks and a slew of community theatre companies all promise exciting shows this year.
