The King Stag will be joined by Six Characters in Search of an Author for the holiday season, after a successful joint tour to Taipei last year. Both productions are in repertory with Ibsen's The Wild Duck . Orchard explained that the ART's new season is a combination of classics, new works, and new theatrical approaches that are appealing to a broad audience.
Audiences here are so engaged and responsive.
The season began in October with a vaudeville musical romp called Punch and Judy Get Divorced at the C. Walsh Theatre on Beacon Hill. The Loeb season began with Ibsen's The Wild Duck , often considered to be his greatest work. It is both a tragedy and comedy, exploring the destruction of a family's peaceful existence . The multimedia production blends a variety of styles for a very different theatrical collaboration. David Mamet's The Old Neighborhood premieres in the ART's annual New Stages series at the Hasty Pudding Theater in April.
