Citadel Theatre 2019-2020 season to explore the meaning of family
Aug 8, 2019 11:28 AM - LAKE FOREST, IL - Citadel Theatre Company, an Equity-affiliated professional company performing in Lake Forest, IL, has announced its 17th season. The four-show subscription season will open in September with the Tony Award-winning adventure-comedy Peter and the Starcatcher a "pre-quel" to the story of Peter Pan -- the boy who, separated from his parents, refuses to grow up and forms a family among a group of lost boys. It will be followed for the holidays by the ever-popular family favorite Annie -- the story of Little Orphan Annie and her new home with the uber-rich Daddy Warbucks. The season will continue in the new year with The Fantasticks. The world's longest running musical, The Fantasticks tells the story of Matt and Luisa, young next-door neighbors who fall in love precisely because their scheming fathers, knowing the kids will do exactly what they're told NOT to do, have been keeping them apart. The season will conclude with Neil Simon's heartfelt Brighton Beach Memoirs, a semi-autobiographical comedy inspired by Simon's life at age 14 and his loving, but quirky family. Peter and the Starcatcher, opening on September 20 and running through October 20 is a pre-quel to Peter Pan, written by Rick Elice (author of the Broadway musicals Jersey Boys, The Addams Family and The Cher Show), based on the novel by Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson. On Broadway, Peter and the Starcatcher was nominated for nine Tony Awards, winning five. It's an action-packed and humorous take on the Peter Pan characters in which 13 actors will play more than 100 roles. It will be directed by Jeremy Aluma, who recently directed The Elaborate Entrance of Chad Deity for Red Theater. The production was remounted at Theater on the Lake, named a Top 10 Show of 2017 by the Chicago Tribune, and won a Jeff Award for Best Fight Choreography. Aluma is also the founder of the internationally touring clown troupe, Four Clowns. -
