In Search of Meaning

Redhouse will kick off 2022-23 season with the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Angels in America, Part I – Millennium Approaches by Tony Kushner, which will run from October 14-23, 2022. One of America’s most ambitious plays, Angels in America is a monumental artistic achievement. Recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, Kushner’s work is at once playful and profound, extravagantly theatrical and extraordinarily entertaining. America in the mid-1980s. In the midst of the AIDS crisis and a conservative Reagan administration, New Yorkers grapple with life and death, love and sex, heaven and hell. Alternately hilarious and heartbreaking, this masterpiece beautifully addresses questions of identity, trust, justice, judgement and ultimately meaning.

In Search of Family and Friends

Redhouse will get it’s audiences into the Holiday Spirt with its next production of the season, the musical version of A Christmas Story which will run from December 8-18, 2022.

Music and lyrics by Benj Pasek and Justin Paul, A Christmas Story, The Musical, brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage! Set in 1940s Indiana, a young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Nominated for three 2013 Tony Awards including Best Musical, A Christmas Story, The Musical is a triple-dog-dare of a good time and it is sure to warm your heart this holiday season!

In Search of Identity

Redhouse continues in 2023 with By The Way, Meet Vera Stark by Lynn Nottage, running February 25- March 5, 2023. Our third show of the season takes us to the Golden Age of Hollywood and shines the spotlight aspiring starlet Vera Stark works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role… a movie starring her boss. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage’s fast-paced, spritely, sly satire is a journey through Vera’s seventy-year life and a sharp take on race and culture — both in the past and today. The story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy historians and scholars will debate for years to come. This sharp-toothed comedy” (The Wall Street Journal) is both hilarious and poignant and a must see for our audiences.

In Search of Love

When ruggedly handsome, National Geographic photographer, Robert Kincaid, pulls into her driveway seeking directions, though, what happens in those four days may very well alter the course of Francesca’s life. This stunning two-time Tony Award-winning Broadway musical featuring gorgeous, soulful music is a sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross that is sure to leave audiences breathless.
