A comedic tour-de-force! Directed by Richard T. Orlando October 7th - 31st, 2010 A CHRISTMAS CAROL
A holiday ghost story by Charles Dickens Northside Theatre Company presents its 28th annual production of this holiday event. This excellent stage adaptation of the Dickens’ classic captures all the power, humor and warmth this ageless tale has to offer. It is a great Christmas present for the entire family. This is the story of Ebenezer Scrooge, a lonely miser, who, through the help of spirits and visions from his past, present and future, finds a second chance to become a loving, generous, kind human being. Directed by James Lucas December 8th - 24th, 2010DEATHTRAP
a thriller by Ira Levin Seemingly comfortably ensconced in his charming Connecticut home, Sidney Bruhl, a successful writer of Broadway thrillers, is struggling to overcome a "dry" spell which has resulted in a string of failures and a shortage of funds. A possible break in his fortunes occurs when he receives a script from a student in the seminar he has been conducting at a nearby college—a thriller which Sidney recognizes immediately as a potential Broadway hit. Sidney's plan, which he devises with his wife's help, is to offer collaboration to the student, an idea which the younger man quickly accepts. Thereafter suspense mounts steadily as the plot begins to twist and turn with devilish cleverness. "Two-thirds a thriller and one-third a devilishly clever comedy…Suspend your disbelief and be delighted. Scream a little. It's good for you." —Cue Magazine Feb 10th - March 6th, 2011 Enchanted April A romantic comedy by Matthew Barber
When two frustrated London housewives decide to rent a villa in Italy for a holiday away from their bleak marriages, they recruit two very different English women to share the cost and the experience. There, among the wisteria blossoms and Mediterranean sunshine, all four bloom again—rediscovering themselves in ways that they, and we, could never have expected. "ENCHANTED APRIL is as good as they come: a lush, thoroughly refreshing theatrical holiday. Escape has seldom seemed so sweet. A magical triumph." —LA Times Directed by Meredith King April 14th - May 8th, 2011 DARWIN in MALIBU A comedy by Crispin Whittell
Malibu, California. The present. One hundred and twenty years after his death, Charles Darwin is hanging out in a beach house with a girl young enough to be his daughter. His peace is rudely disturbed when his old friend Thomas Huxley washes up on the beach closely followed by the Bishop of Oxford. Darwin suddenly finds himself entangled in an enthralling and thought-provoking comedy about God, science and plastic surgery. "A delightful hit…a play that is at once funny, thought-provoking and unexpectedly touching." —Daily Telegraph (London) Directed by Richard T. Orlando Performances: June 16th - July 10th, 2011 Olinder Theatre, 848 East William Street, San Jose CA 95116 (408) 288-7820 northside8@hotmail.com
