Staged Readings:
Meeting for Worship
by Ana Nogueira
directed by Mike Donahue
an SCR commission
Friday, May 3 at 1 p.m. on the Segerstrom Stage
At a Quaker high school, students and teachers gather weekly. Here, they sit in silence—sometimes bored, sometimes passing notes and sometimes waiting for the spirit to speak through them. But what happens to this ritual when a scandal threatens to unravel the fabric of their Quaker values? And what does it cost to stand up and speak?
The Brothers Play
by Arya Shahi
directed by Knud Adams
Friday, May 3 at 4 p.m. on the Julianne Argyros Stage
Little brother makes a bundle in LA and just bought a ranch back home in Tucson. Big brother is a poet in New York…with his own reasons for coming back. As they struggle to reconnect, the brothers discover the ranch house isn’t the only thing in need of renovation.
Fremont Ave.
by Reggie D. White
directed by Taylor Reynolds
Saturday, May 4 at 10:30 a.m. on the Julianne Argyros Stage
In the 1960s, George buys a house in Southern California. Years later, Robert is still living there but itching to start his own life. Today, Joseph is back in the home he thought he left for good. A vibrant story about three generations of men—and the rock that holds them all together.
An Oxford Man
by Else Went
directed by Emma Rosa Went
Sunday, May 5 at 10:30 a.m. on the Segerstrom Stage
He was of the world undefined, by the world undefined—and ushered in a new age of understanding. Join us, dear audience, for this deliciously embellished (mostly) true story of the life and times of Laurence Michael Dillon, the first “modern” transgender man.
You Are Cordially Invited to the End of the World!
by Keiko Green
directed by Zi Alikhan
Friday, May 3 at 8 p.m.; Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m.; and Sunday, May 5 at 2:30 p.m. in the Nicholas Studio
Greg’s received a terminal diagnosis. At least he’s in good company—the planet’s on its last legs, too. Coincidence? Not for Greg. After all, the world’s too big not to be kind of magical.
World Premiere Productions:
Prelude to a Kiss
https://www.scr.org/plays/productions...
music by Daniel Messé
lyrics by Sean Hartley and Daniel Messé
book by Craig Lucas
directed by David Ivers
Now-May 4 on the Segerstrom Stage
Produced in association with Milwaukee Repertory Theater
“For better or worse” takes on new meaning when a mysterious guest requests a kiss at Peter and Rita’s wedding—and their lives are forever changed. Originally a South Coast Repertory world premiere, the Tony Award-nominated play returns as a musical. Refreshed, reimagined and elevated by a breathtaking score, this modern fable soars through the peaks and valleys of love—the perfect salve for our disconnected times.
Galilee, 34
https://www.scr.org/plays/productions...
by Eleanor Burgess
directed by Davis McCallum
April 21-May 12,
on the Julianne Argyros Stage
The healer from Nazareth is dead—and his followers are determined to keep sharing his message. The problem is the Roman Empire wants them out of the picture. And they don’t have a leader. And they can’t quite agree on exactly what that message is. With wit and intelligence, one of the country’s most exciting writers takes us back to the start of a world-changing movement for a deeply personal look at those who made it happen.
2024 PPF Playwrights Panel:
Sunday, May 5, at 9 a.m. on the Julianne Argyros Stage
Join us for a conversation with the PPF playwrights, moderated by SCR's Artistic and Audience Engagement Associate, H. Adam Harris.
