Ladies and Gentleman
by Emma Donoghue
Directed by Elizabeth Chacchia

Set in a New York dressing-room where the past re-enacts itself on the night of a vaudeville star's last comeback.  Inspired by a 1895 newspaper expose of Annie Hindle -- the mustachioed 'Monarch of Male Impersonation', who threw it all away for love -- Ladies and Gentlemen conjures up the tragicomic figure of a woman outed by the tabliods as 'a man's widow and a woman's widower'.  Along with a colorful cast of characters, Ladies and Gentlemen explores the dreams and survival strategies of emigrants, and the pleasures and risks of playing a role. 

PERFORMANCES: April 16, 17, 23 and 24 at 8pm
                                 April 25 at 2pm.

Tickets:                      $6 (students and seniors) and $12 (general admission)

Nijinsky's Last Dance
by Norman Allen

This one-man tour-de-force delves into the hidden recesses of the great dancer's psyche as he fights for his sanity.  In a searing 90 minutes, Nijinsky not only relives his past but embodies the people who inhabit it, including lover Sergei Diaghilev, prima ballerina Tamara Karsavinam, and artistic champion Auguste Rodin.  Through the passionate telling of his own rise and fall Nijinsky offers his audience a glimpse into a collapsing civilization and the unraveling of the twentieth century.

PERFORMANCES: April 30; May 1, 7 and 8 at 8pm
                                 May 2 and 9 at 2pm.

Tickets:                      $6 (students and seniors) and $12 (general admission)
                                  Purchase online at BWT's box office starting Feb. 20th.

Nijinsky's Last Dance by Norman Allen is funded by a grant from the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, The New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York State Legislature.
