Current Season

Announcing the 10/11 Season!

Raven Theatre is excited to offer three powerful plays by the master playwrights, Tennessee Williams, August Wilson and Anton Chekhov in the 2010-11 season. Each story illuminates intimate, personal conflicts amidst massive cultural shifts, whether it is within the family unit (Southern US during the 1950's), the local African American community (Northern US in the 1990's) or the entire nation (late 19th century Russia).

The dynamics that define the characters in these plays are similar to those that drive our own lives today. Williams' masterpiece, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, centers on the legacy of Big Daddy's enormous wealth, which was amassed by exploiting cheap labor to create one of the largest plantations in the South. Radio Golf, August Wilson's final work in his ten-play cycle about the Black culture in Pittsburgh, delves into the ambitions of the rising middle class in pursuit of their American Dream. In the genteel comedy The Cherry Orchard, foreclosure of an estate threatens a family's way of life that has remained unchanged for decades.
