GULFSHORE PLAYHOUSE


God of Carnage by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton


This Internationally-acclaimed comedy brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents after a playground altercation between their eleven-year old boys. Though the meeting to resolve the matter begins with polite pleasantries, it quickly descends into primal madness as tempers flare, loyalties shift and the parents devolve into children. Don’t miss this comedy of manners (without the manners!) that both strikes a chord and hits a funny bone all in one fell swoop! “An expert piece of stagecraft and savagely funny.” -- International Herald Tribune. October 20 - November 18, 2012 Preview performances October 16 – 19


October 16 – God of Carnage Pay-what-you-can Preview – half of the proceeds will benefit The Shelter for Abused Women & Children The Norris Center


I Am My Own Wife The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-Winning play by Doug Wright How hard would you fight to BE who your soul wants you to be? Based on a true story and inspired by interviews conducted by the playwright over several years, I Am My Own Wife tells the fascinating tale of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a German man who managed to survive both the Nazi onslaught and the repressive East German Communist regime, as a cross-dressing museum owner. One actor plays all 37 roles, sky-diving from accent to accent and gender to gender with ease and artistry. This Tony, Pulitzer Prize and Drama Desk Award-Winning play is a one man tour-de-force about survival, freedom and what it means to be truly human.“Both moving and intellectually absorbing” – The New York Times. January 18 – February 3, 2013 • Preview Performance January 17 • The Norris Center
