GOD OF CARNAGE
Date:  January 28, 2pm
Boston University Theatre
God of Carnage written by Yazmina Reza
Directed by Danny Goldstein

The Tony and Olivier Award-winning international sensation by the author of Art comes to the Huntington!  Two sets of parents meet for the first time to settle their sons' nasty schoolyard tangle.  But all attempts at civilized discussion quickly devolve into childlike behavior in this fast, furious, and very, very, funny comedy of bad manners.

Wild Swans is a new adaptation of Jung Chang's international bestselling family biography that was translated into thirty languages and sold more than ten million copies, despite being banned by the Chinese government.  The story of three generations of women in twentieth-century China, Wild Swans chronicles one family's survival through a century of revolutions, violence, and utopian dreams.  This world premiere adaptation brings Chang's moving portrayal of a family’s sacrifice, courage, love, and hardship to the stage for the first time.  Adapted by Alexandra Wood and directed by Sacha Wares, Wild Swans is a co-production with the Young Vic in London, and runs at the Loeb Drama Center February 11 through March 12, 2012.

The Addams Family at the Wang Center
The Addams Family will have Audio Description at the performance on Wednesday, February 15 at 7:30 pm.  

The weird and wonderful family comes to devilishly delightful life in THE ADDAMS FAMILY. This magnificently macabre new musical comedy is created by Jersey Boys authors Marshall Brickman & Rick Elice, Drama Desk-winning composer/lyricist Andrew Lippa (The Wild Party), choreographer Sergio Trujillo (Jersey Boys) and Olivier Award-winning director/designers Phelim McDermott & Julian Crouch (Shockheaded Peter) with creative consultation by four-time Tony Award® winner Jerry Zaks. This is definitely not the same old song and dance. It’s every parent’s nightmare. Your little girl has suddenly become a young woman, and what’s worse, has fallen deliriously in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family. Yes, Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has a “normal” boyfriend, and for parents Gomez and Morticia, this shocking development will turn the Addams house downside up. It’s a family portrait that’s completely off the wall.

 

Les Misberable at the Boston Opera House Les Misérables will have Audio Description at the performance on Saturday, March 31 at 2 pm.

Cameron Mackintosh presents a brand new 25th anniversary production of Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical, Les Misérables, with glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. This new production has been acclaimed by critics, fans and new audiences and is breaking box office records wherever it goes. The New York Times calls this Les Misérables “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five-star hit, astonishingly powerful.”

Alaska: Spirit of the Wild
Take a journey to a place where nature enchants the eye with magnificent scenery—and where life triumphs season after season over fierce conditions and overwhelming challenges. 

As Alaska's rhythms shift from harsh winter to gloriously intense summer, all its inhabitants—fish, bird, and mammal alike—partake feverishly of the seasonal abundance while it lasts. Grizzlies fish for up to 20 hours a day; moose graze pond bottoms; salmon struggle upstream to spawn; humpbacks, orcas, and blue whales feed on rich supplies of plankton, fish, and sea lions. Witness it all, savoring the persistent pulse of life that animates a land rich in history, spectacle, and beauty.

GREECE: SECRETS OF THE PAST
Explore the beautiful Greek islands and the roots of the Golden Age of Greece as we will follow a team of archaeologists piecing together the puzzles of ancient history and learn how the field of archeology has progressed. See how the island of Santorini—possibly home of Atlantis—was formed and how the island's volcanic eruption, one of the biggest explosions in Earth's history, occurred. Innovative computer graphic imaging (CGI) will restore the Parthenon to its original glory, showcasing how the ancient monument once looked. The film will also trace some of our modern society's customs: democracy, medicine, athletics and theater as we are transported on a modern-day journey through time and place.
