the maltZ jupiter theatre prouDlY announceS the

2010/2011 SEASON • WHERE ART COMES TO LIFE WORLD PREMIERE!

The 2010/2011 season will begin with Twelve Angry Men (Nov. 2-14), a suspenseful drama about the effect one voice can have on a jury. The Theatre will continue with Academy (Dec. 7-14), a world premiere youthful coming-of-age pop musical set in a boys prep school.

Next up, is the classic family favorite, The Sound of Music (Jan. 11-30), which will make your heart soar with its magical score by the beloved Rodgers and Hammerstein. Then, Jolson at the Winter Garden! (Feb. 22-March 13) takes a retrospective look at the legendary entertainer.

The eclectic season ends with the Gershwin tap-dancing extravaganza, Crazy for You. Who could ask for anything more?

“This season, audiences can explore award-winning new works and discover new reasons to love American theatre treasures,” said Andrew Kato, Artistic Director of the Maltz Jupiter Theatre. “We are especially proud of Academy, which got its start here in Jupiter.”

Academy was presented in a workshop production at the Maltz

Jupiter Theatre, and was accepted at last October’s New York Musical Theatre Festival (NYMF), where it won several awards, including an opportunity to be presented this summer at South Korea’s Daegu International Musical Festival.
