Moby Dick Rehearsedmoby-dick.jpg (15535 bytes)

It’s an unbeatable combination: one of America’s greatest novels (Moby Dick), adapted by one of America’s greatest artistic geniuses (Orson Welles), performed by America’s most acclaimed touring repertory theater (The Acting Company). Moby Dick Rehearsed is a gripping play-within-a-play, in which a tyrannical actor-manager orders his actors, expecting to rehearse another play, to perform the story of Moby Dick — casting himself as the obsessed Captain Ahab. Unfolding on a relatively bare stage and using minimal props, Moby Dick Rehearsed packs its dramatic punch through powerful acting, beautiful language, and the tragic grandeur of Ahab’s crazed, vindictive quest for the great white whale. As legendary critic Kenneth Tynan exclaimed, “with Moby Dick Rehearsed, the theatre once more becomes a place of magic.”

Camelot-Theatre-logo.jpg (23579 bytes)Sockdology

Camelot's first main stage show was the Finalist for the American Theatre Critics Association/Steinberg New Play Award for 1999, Jeffrey Hatcher's " Sockdology." Playing February 6 through March 2, "Sockdology" (a knockout punch) takes place on the night in 1865 when President Lincoln was shot as he was attending a performance of " Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C. After shooting the President, John Wilkes Booth jumped to the stage and fled. "Sockdology,"  a dark comedy, attempts to answer the question, "What happened next?"
