Two River Theater announces 2022/2023 season

Two River Theater is proud to announce an exciting theatrical 2022/2023 season, featuring world premiere work as well as plays with some of American theater’s most lauded talents.

Artistic Director John Dias says, “Each of these plays centers on artwork: painting, sculpture, poetry, or music and celebrates the transformative power of art to provoke and stimulate, to make us laugh and rejoice, to help us grieve and heal, but mostly to bring us together to affirm our common humanity.”

2022/2023 Season

Opening the season will be Wine in the Wilderness, written by the trailblazing playwright Alice Childress, and directed by Obie Award-winner Brandon J. Dirden.

Kicking off the new year will be the complex and darkly funny world premiere of Living and Breathing by Mando Alvarado, which was part of the 2019 Two River Theater Crossing Borders Festival.

In spring of 2023 Two River will present Shakespeare’s classic Romeo and Juliet in a modern verse translation by Hansol Jung, produced as part of the NAATCO (National Asian American Theatre Company) National Partnership Project.

Finally, the passionate tale of revolution, art, and forbidden love, Two Sisters and a Piano, written by Pulitzer Prize-winner Nilo Cruz will end the season, giving audiences a glimpse into the shifting global politics surrounding 1990s Havana.

The season will also celebrate the 10-year anniversary of the wildly successful youth education program, A Little Shakespeare, in which local students work with professional artists to stage a 75-minute adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
