Seven Angels Announces 23rd Mainstage Season for 2013-2014

Ring of Fire

September 26-October 20
Created by Richard Maltby Jr., Conceived by William Meade
From the iconic songbook of Johnny Cash comes this unique musical about love and faith, struggle and success, rowdiness and redemption, and home and family. More than two dozen classic hits—including “I Walk The Line,” “A Boy Named Sue,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and the title tune—performed by a multi-talented cast, paint a musical portrait of The Man in Black that promises to be a foot-stompin’, crowd-pleasin’ salute to a uniquely American legend! Richard Maltby, re-conceived his Johnny Cash tribute specifically for a five-member ensemble, and Seven Angels is delighted to premiere it in CT.

The Price

November 7-December 1
by Arthur Miller
From the author of American classics such as All My Sons, Death of Salesman, and The Crucible, Arthur Miller’s The Price is taut, truthful and deeply engaging. Set 40 years after the stock market crash of 1929, The Price explores how economic
challenges can impact families and the choices we make.
In an overstuffed attic apartment, two long-estranged brothers, one a cop, the other a doctor, agree to meet to sell off what remains of their deceased father’s furniture and find themselves in an emotional renegotiation of the past. “Miller at his best . . .” – The Washington Post

The Crimson Thread

February 20-March 16
By Mary Hanes
A World Premiere at Seven Angels Theatre in 1994, it has become one of most requested plays to return over the years.
A story of love, loss and survival told through three generations of Irish sisters. The play spans the years from 1869 to 1911, from a poor farm in Ireland to the fishing port of New Bedford, Massachusetts, and climax in New York City.
"Warms audiences' hearts, tickles their funny bones and, on several occasions, stimulates their tear glands." - N.Y. Daily News.
"Full of wit and wisdom, a touching play that is poetic and prophetic." - Hollywood Reporter.

Romance Language

March 27-April 27
A new play by Joe Godfrey: Penny Morgan, single and 32, feels her Mom, Kay, widowed and living alone, is letting life pass her by. Things change quickly, though, when Kay agrees to take private Italian lessons with a very charming and attractive teacher, Fiore Benedetto. When the lessons blossom into "something more," Penny, a lawyer who was devoted to her late father, becomes distressed. As in Italian opera, passion, jealousy and perhaps even "vendetta" drive these three people toward a final big decision. SEVEN ANGELS is presenting its world premiere production.

"You don't have to be Catholic to enjoy it." - Jewish Times
