Announces it's 18th Season
2010 - 2011
 

Appleseed Productions is entering its 18th season. This season will cover genres from musicals, comedies, dramas, and more. Announcing Appleseed's 2010-11 season mainstage productions:

PARADE. Book by Alfred Uhry, Music & Lyrics by Jason Robert Brown.
Directed by Deborah Pearson and Meghan Pearson; Music Directed by Dan Williams
September 10-25, 2010

In 1913, Leo Frank, a Brooklyn-born Jew living in Georgia, is put on trial for the murder of 13-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory worker under his employ. Already guilty in the eyes of everyone around him, a sensationalist publisher and a janitor's false testimony seal Leo's fate. His only defenders are a governor with a conscience, and, eventually, his assimilated Southern wife who finds the strength and love to become his greatest champion. Based on a true story.


LUTHER. By John Osborne.
Directed by Jon Wilson
October 22-November 6, 2010

What moves a man like Martin Luther - the man who initiated the Protestant Reformation? This exciting play reveals the man beneath the cowl and the mind behind the dramatic split in Christianity. Through all Luther's self-doubts, bodily ailments and brilliant intellectual achievements, he is helped by the kind and rational superiors of his order. Here, then, is Luther the man, monk and mind in all its doubts, honesty and clarity of purpose. Luther, before the assembled dignitaries, lifts his book in his hand and says, "Here I stand!"


THE BUTTERFINGERS ANGEL, MARY & JOSEPH, HEROD THE NUT & THE SLAUGHTER OF 12 HIT CAROLS IN A PEAR TREE.

By William Gibson.
Directed by Sharee Lemos
December 3-18, 2010

Dealing with the story of Mary and Joseph and the birth of Jesus from a fresh and richly creative point of view, the author combines a series of deftly constructed short scenes, traditional Christmas music, and often antic characterizations into a wholly original theatre piece. The flow of the action follows the Biblical recounting, but is enhanced by a tree, a sheep and a donkey who talk (and most amusingly); a beguiling Mary who had heretofore decided that men and marriage were not for her; a suddenly cautious Joseph who now contends that he is too old for his intended (having earlier scoffed at Mary for expressing the same thought); and a flustered boy-angel who directs the action from a promptbook and manages to get only the most strangled, bleating sounds from his trumpet. But, through all the lively and resourceful happenings, the true significance of the occasion is never lost, and the underlying mood and spirit of reverence is, if anything, enhanced and made new by the distinctive approach of this joyful and unique retelling.


MUSIC FROM A SPARKLING PLANET. By Douglas Carter Beane.
Directed by William Edward White
January 14-29, 2011

Whatever became of Tamara Tomorrow? In the early seventies, this local television host, in her antennae and space suit, made cheery predictions of how exciting the future was going to be. Her sudden disappearance from the public eye was one of the great mysteries of the Philadelphia area. Three fans of Tamara, all grown up and disenchanted with the "future" as she predicted, decide to go in search of this "Delaware Valley Greta Garbo." What they find along the way teaches them more about themselves than they really thought they could know.


TONIGHT AT 8:30 (The Red Peppers, Ways and Means, and Hands Across the Sea). By Noel Coward.
Directed by Dan Stevens
March 4-19, 2011

The Red Peppers: Doing a song and dance act in a vaudeville theatre are George Pepper and his wife, Lily. They also have a genius for picking quarrels and insulting co workers. When the house musical director, Bert, comes to the dressing room to bum a cigarette and a beer, they chide him for accompanying them in the wrong tempo, call him a drunk, and oust him. Mr. Edwards, house manager, comes to defend Bert, and he is insulted. At the following show Bert had his revenge when he plays the accompaniment so fast the Peppers get frantic and finally fall down. Lily stalks off the stage after heaving her hat at Bert.

Ways and Means: In a bedroom in Mrs. Lloyd Ransome's fabulous villa on the Cote d'Azur are heiress Stella Cartwright and her husband, a gambler. They are plagued by debts and their prolonged stay at the villa is becoming embarrassing when a scandalous chauffeur attempts to rob them and ends up saving their honor.

Hands Across the Sea: Lady Gilpin (Piggie) is so busy with social duties and gossip that she has no time for coherent thinking. She is set aflutter when her drawing room is suddenly filled with her husband's naval conferees, blueprint delivery boys and dumpy Mr. and Mrs. Wadhurst from the Far East, who flighty Piggie mistakes for the Rawlingsons. The Wadhursts overhear intimate phone conversations, are stumbled over, spilled upon and completely ignored before Piggie finally gets it straight.


A YEAR WITH FROG AND TOAD. Book & Lyrics by Willie Reale, Music by Robert Reale.
Based on the books by Arnold Lobel.
Directed & Music Directed by Colin Keating
April 29-May 14, 2011

A Year With Frog And Toad remains true to the spirit of the original stories as it follows two great friends, the cheerful and popular Frog and the rather grumpy Toad through four fun-filled seasons. Waking from hibernation in the spring, they proceed to plant gardens, swim, rake leaves and go sledding, learning life lessons along the way, including a most important one about friendship and rejoicing in the attributes that make each of us different and special.


ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. By Joseph Kesselring.
Directed by Daniel Rowlands
June 17-July 2, 2011

We meet the charming and innocent Brewster sisters, who populate their cellar with the remains of socially and religiously "acceptable" roomers; the antics of their brother who thinks he is Teddy Roosevelt; and the activities of their other brother - these require no further description or amplification here.

Last of the Boys
July 23 – August 15

The Marvelous Wonderettes
August 19 – September 12
with a special Thursday night opening!

Of Mice and Men
October 1 - 24
 

An explosive new season, including one of the first productions in the country of the wildly popular new musical The Marvelous Wonderettes, will run from June 4 – October 24 at Chenango River Theatre’s intimate, air-conditioned 99 seat theatre 15 minutes north of Binghamton at 991 State Highway 12.

To fill ticket demand (season tickets increased over 50% in 2009) the 2010 Season will feature more than 70 performances, a jump of more than 20% from the 2009 season. CRT offers numerous opportunities for discounted (and even free) tickets to ensure that everyone in the Binghamton area can afford to see the region’s only professional non-profit theatre company under annual contract with Actors’ Equity Association. Every play features members of AEA, the national union for professional actors and stage managers in the United States.

From July 23 – August 15, the napalm blast of a play, Last of the Boys, from one of America’s most produced playwrights, Steven Dietz, will light up the stage. Pick up a Time Magazine from the late Sixties and read the debate between “stay the course” or “cut and run”. That debate still rages in today’s world, and there are no easy answers. Set in 1999, this is a moving, sometimes funny, and always explosive play about the life-long friendship of two Vietnam vets who share beer, whiskey and a secret neither wants to discuss.

“The most important, must see play of the season…Last of the Boys may well prove to be a major new American play.” NJ Magazine

It’s a play about friendship, about how a woman honors her missing father, about how a man deals with the loss of his own father, about a hidden conversation that won’t go away. Ben and Jeeter meet every summer at the beat up mobile home where Ben lives in the middle of a toxic dump in California. Jeeter, still using memories of meeting Bob Dylan to pick up chicks, now teaches a college course on the 60’s. Ben, whose father was once an aide to Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense during the buildup in Vietnam, is now a carpenter, still trying to rebuild his own life.

After a record setting 19 month run in LA, followed by nearly 600 performances off-Broadway, our production of The Marvelous Wonderettes will be one of the first productions in the country of this irresistible new musical. It’s a cotton candy, non-stop pop musical blast from the past, running from August 19 – September 12, with a special Thursday night opening!

“Don’t buy a ticket – buy two! A laugh a minute songfest! It’s a show you’ll want to see twice!” Back Stage

Join us at the 1958 Springfield High School prom, where we meet the Wonderettes (Betty Jean, Cindy Lou, Missy and Suzy), four girls with hopes and dreams as big as their crinoline skirts, and voices to match. As we learn about their lives and loves, the Wonderettes treat us to such classic ’50s and ’60s songs as “Lollipop,” “Dream Lover,” “It’s My Party,” “It’s in His Kiss,” and so many more. You’ve never had this much fun at a prom, and you will never forget this must-take musical trip down memory lane. And you definitely want to be there for Act 2, 10 years later at their high school reunion, where the gloves come off!

2007 Multiple Ovation Award Winner (LA’s Theatre Awards), plus 2009 Drama League Award Nominee (NY) and 2009 Drama Desk Award Winner (NY).

Closing the season, from October 1 - 24 will be a classic beauty from the heart of American literature – Of Mice and Men. Written by John Steinbeck as both a novel and a play, until you’ve seen it on stage, you haven’t really experienced it.

It’s the American dream - owning some land, some place to call your own, to be your own boss. From the pen of the Nobel prize winner and one of America’s most celebrated authors, comes this powerful story set during the Great Depression exploring the ultimate bond of friendship. It’s a tale of two drifters . . . men whose dreams are always just beyond the horizon, a story that talks about the real hopes and dreams of working class America.

"A must see for all audiences...the heart and soul of this masterpiece sent the audience from the theatre in appreciative silence." Tampa Tribune

Steinbeck, more perhaps than any other American playwright, makes a hero of the common man and speaks their language with a simple, unmatched eloquence. Originally premiering in 1937, this is a tremendously moving study of two roving farmhands, a true theatre experience you won’t want to miss. This production will also be available to area school systems for on school time performances – for information, call 656-8778.

Season tickets start as low as $55 for all 4 shows for First Time Subscribers and go on sale April 5. Individual tickets for each show go on sale May 10. To request a season brochure, please call 656-8499 and leave your name, address and phone number. For more information: www.chenangorivertheatre.org.
