  Sirius Idaho Theatre, 2005-2006 season

  Sirius Idaho Theatre announces a season full of powerful and entertaining plays, with three productions scheduled at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre in Moscow and two staged readings of plays at special locations.  - The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by Martin McDonagh, The Guys, by Anne Nelson (staged reading), Sight Unseen, by Donald Margulies, A Walk in the Woods, by Lee Blessing, and Collected Stories, by Donald Margulies (staged reading).

   

  While the premiere season of Sirius Idaho Theatre focused on new plays (Pyretown by John Belluso and Random Acts of Love by Bruce Gooch), the second season is filled with award winning plays from New York and London.

   

  The Beauty Queen of Leenane, by Martin McDonagh

  September 8 - 10 & 15 -17, 2005 at 7:30 pm, and Saturday matinees September 10 & 17 at 2:00 pm, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre.

   

  Set in rural, western Ireland, McDonagh's story is disturbingly moving, yet extraordinarily funny and suspenseful. The Broadway production won four Tony awards in 1998. This production is directed by Forrest Sears. The cast includes: Pam Palmer, Valerie McIlroy, Peter Aylward, and Michael Carpenter.

   

  The Guys, by Anne Nelson (staged reading)

  October 14 & 15, 2005 at 7:30 pm, at the Moscow downtown Fire Station.

   

  This poignant play, based on a true story of firefighters, will be performed during Fire Prevention Week at Moscow's historic downtown fire station as a fundraiser for the Moscow Volunteer Fire Department. In New York, this production began with Bill Murray and Sigourney Weaver and tells a story about the men and women who protect us with their lives. (A staged reading is a production that uses minimal sets, costumes and movement.)

   

  Sight Unseen, by Donald Margulies

  February 2 - 4 & 9 -11, 2006 at 7:30 pm and Saturday matinees February 4 & 11 at 2:00 pm, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre.

   

  This intriguing play offers a glimpse into the energies necessary to create great works of art and also urges us to question how people and circumstances in our lives nourish or inhibit love. This play won the Obie award for Best New American Play in 1992.

   

  A Walk in the Woods, by Lee Blessing

  April 7 - 8 & 14 - 15, 2006 at 7:30 pm and Saturday matinees April 8 & 15 at 2:00 pm, at the Kenworthy Performing Arts Centre.

   

  With the cold war decades behind us, this timely play follows the differences dividing two arms negotiators while we look for the humanity that binds them, and us, together. This play was nominated for both the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize in 1988.

   

  Collected Stories, by Donald Margulies (staged reading)

  Date and Location to be announced

  This complex play chronicles the conflict between a celebrated short-story writer and "her student turned confidante turned competitor." It investigates aspects of plagiarism and student-teacher relationships. This reading is being planned in conjunction with the University of Idaho English Department.
