2010-11 Season and Theatre Artist Series

By Bertolt Brecht Directed by Vladimir Rovinsky

Saint Joan of the Stockyard is a cautionary tale for the 21st Century. The survival of youth, hope and faith in a world of greed and corruption hang in the balance. The play follows the central character, Joan, as she transitions from being a religious leader urging the poor to look to heaven for their rewards, into a striking worker demanding justice through force. With his barbed wit, Brecht exposes the inner workings of the unregulated free enterprise system, which is free to inflict misery on the masses in the pursuit of and in the name of the almighty dollar.

April 9, 10, 15, 16, 17 at 7 p.m.
April 11 and 18 at 3 p.m.

The Learned Ladies
By Molière
Translation by Richard Wilbur
Directed by Martha Johnson
November 5–14
Tjornhom-Nelson Theater

The great comic genius Molière wrote The Learned Ladies in 1672, a year before his death, and it isconsidered one of his mature masterpieces. In thisplay a family is thrown into disarray when the mother becomes fixated on an intellectual charlatan. The play evolves into a hilarious portrayal of the intellectual perversions sometimes seen in the world of academia (and elsewhere), when genuine quest for knowledge becomes replaced by pseudo-intellectuality, pretention, inflated self-importance, and powermongering.

“This sophisticated satire sparkles withwit, ridicules hypocrisy, and . . . reveals that human folly has not diminished during the past three hundred years.”
