Marquette Theatre’s 2022-23 Season


EXPECTATIONS!


Like many characters in this season we hope you have high expectations – and we will do our best to meet them!


*Note: THE WOLVES and FROM WHITE PLAINS comprise our Second Stage Series, with intimate, on-stage seating -- putting the acting in the spotlight!


 


The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee


Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Music by William Finn


In this wildly funny and touching musical, six awkward tween-age spelling champions compete to be the best. As we learn about each contestant, they learn that winning (and losing) isn't everything.  Dust off your dictionary and expect to laugh out loud with this fun-filled, Tony Award-winning show. (Contains some PG-13 humor.)


Spelling Bee Performances: Oct. 7, 8, 13, 14, 15 @ 7:30 pm, Oct. 9, 16 @ 2:30 pm


 


The Wolves (Second Stage Series*)


By Sarah DeLappe


This Pulitzer Prize-finalist features an all-female cast. The Wolves explores the world of high school soccer players in suburban America.  As they warm-up before games, the girls discuss everything from boys to eating disorders, the new girl and the Khmer Rouge. While the team expects victory they learn about real loss and identity in a writing style that rings amazingly true. (includes some strong language)


The Wolves performances: Nov. 18, Dec. 1, 3 @7:30 pm, Nov. 19, Dec. 4 @ 2:30 pm


 


From White Plains (Second Stage Series*)


By Michael Perlman


While watching the Academy Awards, 30 year-old Ethan finds himself having to confront who he was and what he did as a teenager.  From White Plains follows four men as they deal with responsibility for past actions and expect to move beyond them, complicated by social media and viral videos. The play examines how male relationships change as boys grow into men and the lasting effects of LGBTQ+ bullying. (some strong language and mention of suicide.)


From White Plains performances: Nov. 19, 30, Dec. 2 @7:30 pm, Nov. 20, Dec. 3 @ 2:30 pm


 


The Importance of Being Earnest


By Oscar Wilde


Oscar Wilde’s beloved comedy classic!  When Jack and Algernon expect to achieve romantic success by using the same pseudonym, hilarity ensues.  This piece of theatre perfection is permeated with Wilde’s wit and his charismatic characters - from a tempestuous tea with Gwendolyn and Cecily, to the biting rebuffs of Lady Bracknell...perhaps Miss Prism will put things right!


Earnest performances: Feb. 17, 18, 23, 24, 25 @ 7:30 pm, Feb. 19, 26 @ 2:30 pm


 


Detroit `67 (a VIP Theatre production)


by Dominique Morisseau


In 1967 Detroit, Motown music is getting the party started, and Chelle and her brother Lank are making ends meet by turning their basement into an after-hours joint. But when a mysterious woman finds her way into their lives, the siblings clash over much more than the family business. As their pent-up feelings erupt, so does their city, and they find themselves caught in the middle of the '67 riots. 


VIP Performances: Apr 14, 15, 20, 21, 22 @ 7:30 pm; Apr 16, 23 @ 2:30 pm
