    ANASTASIA in Stuttgart Den Mythos Anastasia live erleben Das ANASTASIA Musical feiert im November 2018 seine Deutschlandpremiere. Besuchen Sie die neue märchenhafte Musicalproduktion im Stage Palladium Theater in Stuttgart! Es basiert auf dem Zeichentrickfilm von 1997 und stammt aus der Feder von Stephen Flaherty (Musik), Lynn Ahrens (Lyrics) sowie Terrence McNally (Buch). ANASTASIA - DAS BROADWAY MUSICAL Das Musical ANASTASIA erzählt die Legende vom Überleben der jüngsten Zarentochter. Die Geschichte des Musicals spielt in St. Petersburg und im Paris der 20er Jahre. Anastasia ist der jüngste Spross der russischen Zarenfamilie. Alle Mitglieder der Familie werden bei einem Überfall der Bolschewiken getötet. Ausschließlich Anastasias Großmutter Maria Feodoronova bleibt verschont, weil diese Jahre zuvor das Land verlassen hat und nach Paris gezogen ist. Doch als St. Petersburg in Leningrad umbenannt wird, tauchen Gerüchte auf, dass Anastasia noch lebt. Maria Feodoronova verspricht eine hohe Belohnung für denjenigen, der sie wieder mit ihrer tot geglaubten Enkelin vereint. Dies wollen die beiden Gauner Dimitri und Vladimir für sich nutzen. Deshalb suchen sie nach einer jungen naiven Frau, die vorgibt Anastasia zu sein. Auf ihrer Suche stoßen sie auf das Mädchen Anja. Da Anja nichts über ihre Herkunft weiß und der Zarentochter sehr ähnlich sieht, überreden Dimitri und Vladimir die junge Frau mit ihnen nach Paris zu reisen. Kurz vor ihrer Abreise droht der ganze Plan zu scheitern. Doch Anja, Dimitri und Vladimir gelingt die Flucht aus Russland. In Frankreich angekommen sind alle drei von Paris überwältigt. Doch können sie Maria Feodoronova davon überzeugen, dass es sich bei Anja um ihre Enkelin handelt? Denn Anastasias Großmutter wurde bereits mehrmals durch Betrügerinnen bitter enttäuscht.

TO HOLD AS T’WERE THE MIRROR UP TO HATE: TERRENCE MCNALLY’S RESPONSE TO THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT IN CORPUS CHRISTI by RICHARD KIMBERLY SISSON Under the direction of Matthew C. Roudané ABSTRACT In 1998, the Manhattan Theatre Club’s staging of Terrence McNally’s play Corpus Christi ignited protest and virulent condemnation from various religious and politically conservative groups which eventually led to the cancellation of the play’s production. This led to a barrage of criticism from the national theatre, gay, and civil rights communities and free speech advocates, including the ACLU and PEN, which issued a press releases about the cancellation that decried censorship and acquiescence by the theatre to neo-conservative religiously political groups.

  • AS YOU LIKE IT, the First Production of Our 50Th Anniversary Season, and the First Show in Our Shakespearean Act
    Welcome It is my pleasure to welcome you to AS YOU LIKE IT, the first production of our 50th anniversary season, and the first show in our Shakespearean act. Shakespeare’s plays have been a cornerstone of our work at CSC, and his writing continues to reflect and refract our triumphs and trials as individuals and collectively as a society. We inevitability turn to Shakespeare to express our despair, bewilderment, and delight. So, what better place to start our anniversary year than with the contemplative search for self and belonging in As You Like It. At the heart of this beautiful play is a speech that so perfectly encapsulates our mortality. All the world’s a stage, and we go through so many changes as we make our exits and our entrances. You will have noticed many changes for CSC. We have a new look, new membership opportunities, and are programming in a new way with more productions and a season that splits into what we have called “acts.” Each act focuses either on a playwright or on an era of work. It seemed appropriate to inaugurate this with a mini-season of Shakespeare, which continues with Fiasco Theater's TWELFTH NIGHT. Then there is Act II: Americans dedicated to work by American playwrights Terrence McNally (FIRE AND AIR) and Tennessee Williams (SUMMER AND SMOKE); very little of our repertoire has focused on classics written by Americans. This act also premieres a new play by Terrence McNally, as I feel that the word classic can also encapsulate the “bigger idea” and need not always be the work of a writer from the past.
