Madwomen

Bonjour,

We had a wonderful closing weekend for “The Homecoming.” Thanks to all of you who came to see it and supported the production. Next week we’ll give you all the information about what’s coming up next, an adaption of “Antigone” by Neil LaBute—the story of a courageous young woman who stands up to a ruthless autocrat and refuses to compromise, even at the price of her own life. Opens August 15th!

Thanks to the generosity of so many of you, we’ve now raised $12,014 toward that match. Our gratitude to these kind patrons:

“TOP TEN! RECOMMENDED!”

“Dynamically staged…thought-provoking and topical”

“WOW!”

“...an uncanniness that feels friendly and welcoming, suggesting a place where we can all be mad together...”

“... sometimes scorching, sometimes hilarious, always intriguing exploration of human relations…what really grabs our attention and hearts are the performances.”

“Contemporary theater at its most informative and impactful … stunning, gut-punching”

“it hits like thunderclap…”

“Stellar performances from the cast under Frédérique Michel’s direction”

“Approaches the “hallelujah” level!”

“...startlingly compelling as well as rather surprisingly funny...”

“eerie, atmospheric ... well suited to the stylish City Garage aesthetic”

“... a Greek myth scaled down to human proportions ... It’s simple, it’s quiet, it’s deeply personal”

“THE BOURGEOIS GENTLEMAN had the audience laughing from start to finish.”

“Superb acting….Frederique Michel’s clockwork-like direction of Schimmelpfennig’s tricky, provocative play and Charles Duncombe’s atmospheric stage design also deserve the highest praise possible.”

“City Garage, known for daring, highly stylized sociopolitical theater, is the ideal local company to revive this infrequently done, disturbingly timely play.”

“Crowd-pleasing and consistently funny!”

“The piece is fascinating to watch... handsome and visually stunning production, stylized and ritualized.”

“The writing and the performances crackle...”

“A marvelous evening of theater... a distinctive, individual form of dance-theater, using a movement vocabulary that... communicates immediately with gestures sometimes like seductive cabaret performance... ”
