Rep Stage Opens 19th Season With OR, 8/31-9/18

Christopher Isherwood , in his New York Times review of "Or," wrote, "Luminaries of 17th-century England are resurrected...in "Or," a playful, funny and inventive comedy by Liz Duffy Adams...her language has a natural period flavor and a formidable wit; her characters possess the spark of fully animated spirits; and she weaves into her story both biographical detail and cultural context with grace." "‘Or,' is a perfect way to kick off Rep Stage's 2011-12 season, in that it is a celebration of all things theatrical," says Michael Stebbins, Rep Stage's producing artistic director and the director of "Or,". "‘Or,' is a bow to Restoration theatre and history. Liz Duffy Adams brings Aphra Behn and Nell Gwyn, two female artistic trailblazers of their day, back to life and back to the theatre - front and center - where they belong. ‘Or,' also gives the audience the opportunity to meet the ‘merry monarch,' King Charles II, who was responsible for reopening theatres in London during the Restoration. At a time when the Great Plague and the Great Fire of London wreaked havoc on the city, Aphra, Nell and Charles II lifted the psyche and spirit of the people in a time of need. Theatre provided then what it continues to provide today: an escape from the difficulties of the day by way of the play." Michael Stebbins has been Rep Stage's producing artistic director since November of 2005. At Rep Stage he has directed "Two by J.M. Barrie : The New Word and The Old Lady Shows Her Medals," "A Moon for the Misbegotten," "The Santaland Diaries," "A Dickens of a Carol" and "The Glass Menagerie." As an actor he has appeared on Rep's stages in "Fully Committed," "Stones in His Pockets," "Mrs. Warren's Profession," "The Santaland Diaries," "Wittenberg" and "An Almost Holy Picture." He has acted, directed and taught acting at some of the country's top professional theatres and colleges. He is the recipient of a Helen Hayes Tribute award. Charlotte Cohn ( Aphra Behn ) has appeared on Broadway in "Coram Boy" and Baz Lurhmann's critically acclaimed production of "La Boheme." She has performed leading roles in Center Stage's "The Murder of Isaac" and "The Boys from Syracuse" and ACT's "Happy End." Her cabaret, "Simply Complicated: the Elegant Escapades of a Danish, Israeli, Opera Singing Tank Commander" has been performed in NYC, at Baltimore's CenterStage and will have a European tour 2012.
