2016 - 2017 SEASON SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE

Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim • Book by James Lapine Directed by Peter DuBois • September 9 – October 16, 2016 Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre SUBLIME PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING MUSICAL Stephen Sondheim’s stunning masterpiece centers on enigmatic painter Georges Seurat and his search for love, inspiration, and “the art of making art.”

One of the most acclaimed musicals ever, this Pulitzer Prize winner features a glorious score, with the songs “Finishing the Hat,” “Putting it Together,” and “Move On,” and is directed by Artistic Director Peter DuBois (A Little Night Music) and features rising stars Adam Chanler-Berat (Broadway’s Peter and the Starcatcher and Next to Normal) and Jenni Barber (Wicked).

TIGER STYLE!

by Mike Lew • Directed by Moritz Von Stuelpnagel October 14 – November 13, 2016 • South End / Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA WILD AND SEARING COMEDY Squabbling siblings Albert and Jennifer Chen reached the pinnacle of academic achievement. But as adults, they’re epic failures: he’s just been passed up for promotion and she’s been dumped by her loser boyfriend. So, naturally, they confront their parents and launch an Asian Freedom Tour! From California to China, this hilarious new comedy examines race, parenting, and success with wit and sharp humor.

BEDROOM FARCE

by Alan Ayckbourn • Directed by Maria Aitken (The 39 Steps, Private Lives) November 11 – December 11, 2016 • Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre WICKEDLY FUNNY ROMP 4 couples. 3 bedrooms. One hilarious night. Trevor and Susannah, with their marriage on the rocks, invade 3 bedrooms of their family and friends over the course of an evening, spreading chaos in their wake. Director Maria Aitken (The 39 Steps, Private Lives) returns for this rollicking comedy of marital misunderstandings.

A DOLL’S HOUSE

by Henrik Ibsen • Adapted by Bryony Lavery Directed by Melia Bensussen • January 6 – February 5, 2017 Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre ICONIC CLASSIC DRAMA Nora loves her husband above everything. But when she risks her reputation in order to save him, the consequences test the limits of her devotion, and she finds herself struggling for her own life. In an acclaimed new translation by Bryony Lavery, Ibsen’s powerful, groundbreaking classic remains as fresh as ever with an unfading capacity to shock.

4

2016 - 2017 SEASON TOPDOG/UNDERDOG

by Suzan-Lori Parks • March 10 – April 9, 2017 Avenue of the Arts / BU Theatre EXPLOSIVE PULITZER PRIZE WINNER Lincoln and Booth are brothers: best friends and bitter rivals. Lincoln, a former 3-card monte hustler, works as a Lincoln impersonator in a shooting gallery; Booth is an aspiring grifter. He tempts his brother to get back in the game, but the consequences could be deadly. Suzan-Lori Parks made history as the first African American woman to win a Pulitzer Prize for Drama with this darkly comic, deeply theatrical fable about family wounds and healing bonds.

THE WHO & THE WHAT

by Ayad Akhtar (Disgraced) • Directed by M. Bevin O’Gara (Milk Like Sugar) • March 31 – April 30, 2017 South End / Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA PROVOCATIVE AND MOVING DRAMA Brilliant novelist Zarina is writing about women and Islam when she meets Eli, a young convert who bridges the gap between her modern life and traditional heritage. When her conservative father discovers her controversial manuscript, they all must confront the beliefs that define them. A fierce and funny new play about relationships, religion, and the contradictions that make us who we are, from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the blockbuster hit Disgraced.

RIPCORD

by David Lindsay-Abaire (Good People) • Directed by Jessica Stone (Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike) • May 26 – June 25, 2017 South End / Calderwood Pavilion at the BCA UPROARIOUS COMEDY When cantankerous Abby is forced to share her room in assisted living with endlessly chipper Marilyn, the two women make a seemingly harmless bet that quickly escalates into a dangerous and hilarious game of one-upmanship, revealing hidden truths that neither wants exposed. A deliciously inappropriate new comedy from Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire (Good People).

Repertoire, artists, and dates are subject to change.

HUNTINGTON ON HUNTINGTON THE HUNTINGTON WILL STAY IN ITS HOME ON HUNTINGTON AVENUE

We are delighted to share the news that the Huntington Theatre Company’s place on Huntington Avenue is secure, and that we have successfully negotiated an agreement-in-principle to remain in the BU Theatre, our mainstage home for over three decades, on a long-term basis.

As Mayor Martin J. Walsh announced from the BU Theatre stage at a June 9 press conference, “The Huntington Theatre Company is here to stay, on Huntington Avenue, where it belongs. This announcement sets the stage for the theatre to grow and to gain control of this historic venue where it’s been for over three decades. This is an exciting day for the entire city of Boston.”

As you may recall, in October of 2015 Boston University and the Huntington announced that they would dissolve our partnership and BU put the BU Theatre complex up for sale on the open market. A local development company, QMG Huntington LLC, purchased the building in May. Thanks to the direct support of Mayor Walsh and his administration, the Huntington and QMG have reached an agreement that will give the Huntington exclusive, long-term control of the historic theatre and the service wing to its west, which we will fully renovate at our own expense.

We will also be able to expand our lobbies and other public spaces to better serve our audience and our community.

We welcome this opportunity to revitalize our beautiful theatre, expand our public space and our services to patrons, and continue to produce ambitious, large-scale works at this location in a way that enhances our services to audience members, young people, our neighbors, and the theatre community of Boston. Having exclusive, long-term control of our mainstage space gives us power over our own destiny, allows us to grow, and puts us in a position of strength, guaranteeing that we will continue to produce worldclass theatre and serve the city of Boston for generations to come.

There is still much work to do and many details to come as we move through the design and review process of this development, and in order to succeed the Huntington will have to embark on a major new capital fundraising campaign.

This critical moment would not have been possible without our deep and loyal community of supporters, and we promise to keep you informed as future plans develop. We are excited about the opportunity that awaits, and look forward to taking this next leg of our collective journey with you.
