Arden's 2023-24 Season

 


The Arden Theatre, located at 40 N. 2nd Street has an exciting schedule of plays for its 2023-24 season. Assassins  with book by John Weidman  and music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, is a darkly humorous  musical review which depicts nine misfit men and women who set out to assassinate American presidents. Assassins  spans several musical styles and many decades  from Abraham Lincoln’s presidency to  John F. Kennedy’s. What The Constitution Means To Me, by Heidi Schreck is a Pulitzer Prize finalist as well as a winner of Best American Play and the recipient of the New York Drama Critic Award and the Obie Award. It has opened to critical acclaim in multiple cities and will be appearing next season  on the Arden stage. A 2020 Tony Award-winning play, The Lehman Trilogy by Stefano Massini, is a portrait of Lehman, showing the cost of greed and financial crisis. It is the story of a family and a business that changed the world. It follows the Lehman Brothers from their humble beginnings as immigrants to  America to their rise as a global financial powerhouse to generations later when everything came crashing down. LADYSITTING is a World Premiere adapted by Lorene Carey, based on her memoir, “My Year With Nana at the End of Her Century.”  Once On This Island – lyrics and book by Lynn Ahrens/Music by Stephen Flaherty . In this one-act musical,  a peasant island girl of The French Antilles searches for her place in the world and bargains with the island gods to help her find it.
