Production Notes
Only drama in the comedy-heavy 27th season. Auditions scheduled February 6, 2011 (callbacks February 7). The production was initially advertised to close April 23, but a hotel scheduling conflict canceled April 14–17 performances and added April 7, April 10 and April 24; April 24 is the revised closing date. Nagy’s adaptation emphasizes adult Pearl’s perspective.
