Next North Coast Season

With their final shows of this season now playing (The Nerd and The Sound of Music, respectively), both North Coast Rep and Ferndale Rep have announced their next season.

Beginning in September, NCRT Artistic Director Michael Thomas has two modern classics: Jean Giraudoux’s The Madwoman of Chaillot and Marat/ Sade by Peter Weiss. The holiday musical will be Fiddler on the Roof, the spring musical will be Little Shop of Horrors, the Shakespeare between them will be the comedy All’s Well That Ends Well. And next summer’s comedy will be Lend Me a Tenor, the 1989 Tony Award winner by Ken Ludwig.

As announced by Artistic Director Marilyn McCormick, Ferndale Rep will host several showcases in September and October (including Jeff DeMark’s Hard As A Diamond, Soft As The Dirt, and a multimedia show by the L.A. based Camera Shrapnel) before its first production in November, an adaptation of E.B. White’s Charlotte’s Web, followed by the courtroom drama Twelve Angry Men and an all-teen production about school violence called Bang Bang You’re Dead. The spring musical is Hair, the summer musical is Godspell, with a stage adaptation of the film classic Rashomon between.
