A.C.T.'s 2010–11 Season

No one brought the fierce revelry, hedonism, and open love of dreamy 1970s San Francisco to readers in brighter Technicolor than Armistead Maupin, and this season A.C.T.'s bringing the iconic saga to you live—in the world premiere of the musical Tales of the City. Clown raconteur Bill Irwin kicks the season off with his bright, baggy-pants take on Molière's family-friendly farce, Scapin. This is your only chance to see the West Coast premiere of Marcus; or The Secret of Sweet, the finale of The Brother/Sister Plays trilogy by the unstoppable Tarell Alvin McCraney—crowned the best American playwright under 30. Bruce Norris's razor-sharp comedy Clybourne Park takes aim at the façade of political correctness with heated discussions of race and class that sear through the same Chicago home in 1959 and 2009. Harold Pinter's most provocative play, The Homecoming—directed by long-time Pinter collaborator and A.C.T. Artistic Director Carey Perloff—digs straight under your skin. And you haven't experienced Jean-Paul Sartre's existential masterpiece No Exit until you've seen the groundbreaking multimedia version.
