ELEMENO
PEA
Saturday, February 25, 2012
at 2:30 p.m.
[ South
Coast
Repertory
]
It's just after Labor Day, and
Martha's Vineyard has started
emptying out, but you can still
smell the suntan lotion (the
expensive kind). And the
expensive life is just what
Simone is living these days, as
personal assistant to Michaela
Kell, trophy wife of an absurdly
rich (and often absent) New York
ad man. When Simone's older
sister, a social worker from blue
collar Buffalo, comes to visit,
lifestyles—and
worlds—collide. This
keenly-observed comedy about
class, family and the choices
that shape who we are unfolds in
real time, fast, furious and
funny.

SIGHT
UNSEEN
Saturday, March 31, 2012 at
2:00 p.m.
[ South
Coast
Repertory
]
Jonathan Waxman is the art
scene's new visionary, with a
waiting list to buy paintings he
has yet to paint. In London for
his first European show, Waxman
is under the gun. He could be
spurned, causing the American art
world to re-evaluate his work or
he could be further lionized
causing more demand and greater
expectations. Either way,
something is missing. On impulse,
he escapes to the country to
search for the woman who was his
first love and early inspiration
and maybe to get back in touch
with the past—and those
feelings that made him an artist
in the first place.

THE
PRINCE OF ATLANTIS

[ South
Coast
Repertory
]
Things aren't going so well for
Joey Colletti, one of the biggest
seafood importers in the East. He
got into a little trouble with
his company and landed in a
minimum security prison. To add
to his woes, after 30 years, the
son Joey never knew wants to meet
him. In prison? Maybe his brother
Kevin can put the kid off for
nine months—until Joey gets
out. But Kevin has a couple of
problems of his own. Set in the
Down the Lake section of Boston,
where the jargon is all their
own, and so is the bombast, this
tender—and funny—play
is all about family, loyalty and
love.

CLOUDLANDS
Saturday, May 5, 2012 at 2:00
p.m.
[ South
Coast
Repertory
]
Monica takes photos of clouds to
paste in a book, like a girl in
love who secretly captures things
before they're gone. Hidden from
other eyes, her cloud book is
filled with unsolved mysteries,
some as ephemeral as the clouds
themselves. Unable to resist
their lure, and urged on by an
inquiring friend, Monica uncovers
a labyrinth of secrets about her
mother, her father and the
stranger who connects them all.
Stunningly beautiful songs fill
this powerful drama that examines
the many faces of love—from
innocent to forbidden—by two
brilliant artists, working
together for the first
time.

JITNEY
Saturday, June 9, 2012 at
2:30 p.m.
[ South
Coast
Repertory
]
Cheering audiences rose to their
feet and critics throughout the
Southland spun superlatives as
the curtain fell on
Fences, but that was only
the beginning for SCR and August
Wilson. Now it's the 1970s, and
urban renewal threatens a
storefront station, where the
drivers of gypsy cabs (known as
jitneys) share their funny
stories about the day's fares and
meddle in each other's lives.
Cronies drop in, fights break
out, a son faces his father after
20 years in prison, lovers make
up, and just as we get to know
them, Wilson asks us to look
again.
