The Yale Cabaret has swapped the performance dates of two of the shows on their spring semester schedule. Funnily enough, they’re the two which stuck out from the sched already as being well-known works by world-famous American playwrights (amid the accustomed slate of obscurities and world premieres). Both scripts hail from the ’60s.
Flipping Kopit for Kennedy and vice versa, the Cabaret production of Arthur Kopit’s iconic feminist drama Chamber Music will play March 1-3, and the staging of Adrienne Kennedy’s Funnyhouse of a Negro originally planned for that slot will instead go where Chamber Music originally was to be, March 29-31.
Got that?
Here’s the remaining Spring semester:
Feb. 16-18: Mac Wellman’s Dracula, directed by Jack Tamburri.
Feb. 23-25: The ensemble piece Clutch Yr Amplified Heart Tightly and Pretend.
March 1-3: Arthur Kopit’s Chamber Music, directed by Katie McGerr.
March 8-10: The Yiddish King Lear by Jacob Gordin, directed by Whitney Dibo and Martha Kaufman.
March 15-1: No Cabaret show this week.
March 22-24: Underworld, directed by Ethan Heard.
March 29-31: Funnyhouse a Negro, directed by Lileana Blain Cruz.
April 5-7: No Cabaret show this week.
April 12-14: Carnival/Invisible, directed by Benjamin Fainstein.
