FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DALEKOARTS ANNOUNCES 2014 SEASON
DalekoArts to present second full season of professional theatre
in New Prague
JANUARY 13th, 2014 Following a successful inaugural season last
summer, DalekoArts will produce a second season ofprofessional
productions beginning in May of this year.
The season will open with Broadway classic The Philadelphia
Storyand a new Steven Dietz play, Rancho Mirage, playing inrep.
Both of those shows will then enjoy a one-week run at Theatre
LHomme Dieu in Alexandria, MN. The season willconclude with a
one-month run of the musical classic Little Shop of Horrorsduring
August and September.
Were following last seasons formula to a T, explained
Co-Artistic Director Ben Thietje. Weve got a beautiful classic,
agreat new play, and a really fun musical. All the bases are
covered.
The Philadelphia Story, by Philip Barry, tells the tale of Tracy
Lord, a headstrong and spoiled heir on the verge of marrying asnoot
when her ex-husband and a smitten reporter get in the way. The
classic film version starred Cary Grant, KatharineHepburn, and
Jimmy Stewart.
Rancho Mirageis a brand new comedy by acclaimed American
playwright Steven Dietz. It follows three couples,
long-timefriends, who find themselves at a dinner party where
everyone finally decides to tell the truth, and the fictions that
holdtheir lives together are exposed.
Little Shop of Horrors, written by Alan Menken and Howard
Ashman, is the musical story of Seymour, a down and out
floralassistant who becomes an overnight sensation when he
discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh
blood.The musical played on Broadway in the 1980s and was later
made into a film directed by Frank Oz.
The Philadelphia Story and Rancho Mirage will play in repertory
from May 8thto June 8th the shows will run simultaneouslybut on
alternate evenings (e.g. patrons will be able to see one production
on Friday, and the other production on Saturday).
Running the two plays at the same time will give our patrons
great flexibility, noted Thietje. Theyll now have an entiremonth to
catch the shows, as opposed to only two weekends.
DalekoArts will also enjoy a new venue this season. The company
recently signed a lease to perform in a former auto garageon the
south side of New Prague. Seating will accommodate 40-50 patrons, a
much smaller space than the companysprevious home.
Our work is definitely cut out for us, said Co-Artistic Director
Amanda White. But once we get everything into shape, itsgoing to be
a great place for a summer of exciting and intimate theatre. I love
this chance our artists have to come into aspace designed to serve
industry or retail, and to transform it into a theatre. We hope our
audiences are ready to go on anadventure with us, because we
absolutely cannot wait!
