2023-2024 Season Announced by Falcon Theatre

FT_logoFALCON THEATRE ANNOUNCES 2023 – 2024 SEASON

Plays Focused on Identity, Perception and Humanity

(Newport, KY) — Falcon Theatre Producing Artistic Director, Ted J. Weil, announces Falcon Theatre’s 2023-24 Season, presenting a mix of contemporary works and regional U.S. premieres. This season mark’s Falcon’s 20th anniversary in Newport, KY!

The regional premiere of Two Point OH  by Jeffrey Jackson brings the world of artificial intelligence to the stage in a way that is both haunting and exhilarating.

Two Point OH feels like science fiction one moment and today’s news the next.  A pioneering software mogul dies and a virtual simulation of him begins appearing to his business partners and his widow.  What follows is a timely exploration of what it means to be alive…asking the questions our society must be addressing now as we stand on the brink of a world where AI is everywhere.

Another regional premier, Home, I’m Darling by Laura Wade takes a uniquely fascinating view of domestic life.

In her dark comedy about choosing the life you want to live, Laura Wade’s characters discover that it isn’t easy to turn back the clock to a simpler time.  The characters’ choices make them question everything from sex to careers to their very relationship with each other and everyone around them.

Written and originally performed by Leonard Nimoy at the Guthrie Theatre, Vincent explores the life of Vincent Van Gogh in a way that transcends a simple biography.

Artists are traditionally seen as tortured souls and Vincent Van Gogh is one of the world’s most famously tormented artists.  This story, told by Vincent’s brother, delves deeply into Vincent’s early obsession with religion, salvation and love…all while using the artist’s paintings and drawings as a backdrop to stunningly crystalize his soul on stage. 

The Other Place by Sharr White tells a deeply personal account of losing one’s identity.

When Juliana Smithton takes the stage, it appears we’re watching her give one more of a long string of sales pitches for a breakthrough new drug.  Her commentary to the audience provides a window to her inner monologue as she rattles through her presentation.  But as her comments veer further and further from the lecture hall, we discover a much darker and painful truth.  This play is an unforgettable journey through the human mind.

Breaking The Code by Hugh Whitemore tells the story of Alan Turing, the mathematician who cracked the Nazi code during World War II, saving countless lives from German U-Boats.

Breaking The Code tells us much about Turing’s work with British intelligence during the war, but it tells us far more about the man himself and the persecution he endured after.  A brilliant mathematician, Turing was also a gay man living in England in the 1940s…a time when homosexuality was still a crime.  His life and personal struggles were as complicated as the wartime codes he eventually cracked, and they proved far more difficult to unravel.

Ted J. Weil, Producing Artistic Director, says, “There’s never been a more important time to examine our own personal identities.  Social media, artificial intelligence and the degradation of truth in news have all created a world where our personal challenges to find ourselves are of utmost importance.  I’m thrilled with our upcoming season of plays and I believe this is one of the most timely and important seasons we’ve ever assembled.”

FLYIN’ WEST Runs May 12-27

FT_Flyin WestFLYIN’ WEST
Falcon Theatre
May 12-27
[Newport]

Directed by Piper N. Davis

Cast: Burgess Byrd*, Alfred Gover, Bryana Bentley, Shantel Routt, Kenny Rayborn and Jazz McMullen

*The Actor appears through the courtesy of Actors’ Equity Association, the Union of Professional Actors and Stage Managers in the United States 

Facing problems ranging from the inevitability of long, cold winters, to the possibility of domestic violence, to the continuing spectra of racial conflict, the women of FLYIN’ WEST include Miss Leah, the old woman whose memories of slavery and its aftermath comprise a living oral history; Sophie Washington, whose determination to protect her land and those she loves puts to rest forever the requirement that western archetypes be white and male; Fannie Mae Dove, the gentle sister, trying to civilize the frontier with fine china and roses, who finds herself falling in love with their soft-spoken neighbor, Wil Parish; and Minnie Dove Charles, the headstrong baby sister whose mulatto husband, Frank, introduces a danger into the household that tests their sisterhood in unexpected ways.
