Dear Friends:
This year has brought much kudos to The Garage Theatre Group.
Mikaela Kafka was nominated as
best actress, in a play in New Jersey by Peter Filicia of The
Star Ledger. Those of you who were lucky enough to see her in
The Maids are sure to agree. Mikaela also performed
with GTG in 2004 in Slaughter City and wowed the
audiences then as well.
Niklas Anderson, who has served
three seasons as the GTG’s Lighting Designer, was not only
nominated but also won for best lighting design for our
production of Porcelain. Again, those of you who
shared this production with us would certainly agree. I’m sure
we all join in congratulating both of them.
And we look forward to bringing
you more award winning theatre this season.
Mona Hennessy, a brilliant
actress, will share her “Happy Days” with us. Don’t miss her in
our special season opener Samuel Beckett’s Happy Days.
We’re working on bringing you something very special in
February. But due to contract negotiations you’ll just have to
wait to see what it is. Trust me…it will be special. April will
bring the classic Wind in The Willows. Ever since the
publication of Kenneth Grahame’s novel in 1908, the characters
of Ratty, Mole, Toad, and Badger have delighted generations of
readers. Now Alan Bennett has written an adaptation for the
stage, a version that is both true to the original and yet
carries the distinctive Bennett hallmark. This production will
bring many familiar faces back to The Garage stage.
Our Youth Company will be
celebrating the year of the woman, or perhaps I should say girl.
Opening up with the classic A Little Princess – The
Musical the classic
story by Frances Hodgson Burnett, moving on to Cinderella,
a brand new version of the world’s most popular fairy
tale, and ending with Neil Simon’s Sweet Charity.
Yes, we’re also committed to the
“raffle” but we’d like to shorten or eliminate that curtain
speech, so please, consider buying your raffle ticket early in
the season.
Sincere thanks for joining or continuing to be a part of the GTG
family.
Michael Bias
Artistic Director
