More information on Arena Stage
Founded by the brilliant Zelda Fichandler in 1950, the Arena Stage is home to one of the oldest acting ensembles in the nation. Several works nurtured here have moved to Broadway, and many graduates have gone on to commercial stardom, including Ned Beatty, James Earl Jones, and Jane Alexander. The excellence of Arena productions has brought the theater much success, to the extent that a major expansion is planned. (This shouldn't affect productions until late 2006/early 2007; stay tuned.)Arena presents eight productions annually on two stages: the Fichandler (a theater-in-the-round) and the smaller, fan-shaped Kreeger. In addition, the Arena houses the Old Vat, a space used for new play readings and special productions.The 2005-06 September-to-June season includes the world premiere of Sarah Ruhl's Passion Play, A Cycle; Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday; Charles Randolph-Wright's adaptation of a book by Craig Marberry, Cuttin' Up; the classic, Damn Yankees, by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross; Clifford Odets's Awake and Sing; and N. Richard Nash's The Rainmaker. The Arena Stage has always championed new plays and playwrights and is committed to producing works from America's diverse cultures, as well as to reinterpreting the works of past masters.
