Coming up next on the Auditorium Theatre Stage:
The Mistress Cycle
Dates: July 22 – August 8
Times: various, see below
Price: $49
The Auditorium presents Apple Tree Theatre‘s production of Jenny Giering and Beth Blatt’s The Mistress Cycle.
For this event, the Auditorium stage is transformed into an intimate black box theatre-in-a-theatre, seating 200.
The Mistress Cycle breaks the mold of the traditional book musical, instead offering audiences a “song cycle” that illuminates stories of passion, sacrifice and strength of spirit. The Mistress Cycle explores the lives and loves of five notorious mistresses: Tess Walker, a contemporary Manhattan photographer; Anais Nin, the famed sexual adventurer of the early 20th century; Diane de Poitiers, the mistress of King Henri II of 16th century France; Lulu White, a turn-of-the-century New Orleans bordello Madame; and Ching, a 14-year-old concubine in 12th century China.
Directed by Kurt Johns
Musical Direction by Diana Lawrence
