MetroStage has announced the selections for its 2008-2009 season.
The season will kick off with the musical Rooms, featuring music and lyrics by Paul Scott Goodman and a book by Goodman and Miriam Gordon. Scott Schwartz will direct Natascia Diaz and Doug Kreeger in this tuner about an ambitious singer/songwriter and a hard driving rocker who become creatively and romantically entangled as they journey from their native Glasgow to London and New York and are catapulted into the punk rock explosion and a quest for stardom.
Next up will be Isn't It Romantic (November 20-December 21), written and directed by David Koch and featuring MetroStage favorites Jimi Ray Malary and Lori Williams. This musical tribute features the songs that epitomize romance from three of popular music's most prolific and enduring song writing teams: Jerome Kern, Rodgers & Hart and George & Ira Gershwin.
William Knowles will be the music director.
Cool Papa's Party (January 29-March 8) will feature book and lyrics by Thomas W. Jones II, original music by William Knowles, direction by Thomas W. Jones II, and music direction by William Knowles. This 20th century musical odyssey is seen through the eyes of the "last great American hipster." William Hubbard will star.
The season will conclude with Heroes (April 22-May 17), written by Gerald Sibleyras, translated by Tom Stoppard. John Vreeke will direct this play about three soldiers in a Parisian veterans' home who pass the time with tales that are at once achingly funny and piercingly sad.
