About our 2013-14 Season Feb 20 - Mar 16, 2014 LASSO OF TRUTH | By Carson Kreitzer | World Premiere “Stunning and compelling... raw and bold, brutal and ironic, Kreitzer's work is full of nagging questions.” – Hollywood Reporter Trace the origin story and lasting impact of the comic character Wonder Woman through the life of her controversial creator William Marston. The early 20th-century psychologist and father of the modern lie detector modeled his Amazon warrior princess on the two women with whom he lived with in a polyamorous relationship – his wife and his former student. April 10 – May 4, 2014 FENCES | By August Wilson | 1987 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner “Universal enough to touch a chord in every human heart.” – The New York Times Former Negro League homerun king Troy Maxson is now a garbage collector just trying to make a living and do right by his family. When his son shows promise on the high school football team, Troy must come to terms with his past disappointment or risk tearing his family apart. Jun 5 – 29, 2014 FAILURE: A LOVE STORY | By Philip Dawkins | West Coast Premiere “Enchanted and enchanting... a wholly wonderful show that is profound, yet at the very same time whimsical beyond all imagining” – Chicago Sun-Times This anything-but-predictable new play set in 1920s Chicago follows the brief but full lives (and loves) of the sisters Fail – Nelly, Jenny June and Gerty. Five actors will tell this charming tale through live musical performance on guitar, piano, violin and many more. OUR PAST SHOWS THIS SEASON Running through Dec 22, 2013 JACOB MARLEY'S CHRISTMAS CAROL | By Tom Mula | Perfect for whole family “Guaranteed to raise the dead... the production breathlessly gallops back and forth across MTC’s stage with a dramatic urgency that is rarely felt in traditional productions of A Christmas Carol... One helluva holiday treat; a triumphant achievement; riveting, not-to-be-missed.” – My Cultural Landscape Closed Nov 3, 2013 I AND YOU | By Lauren Gunderson | World Premiere "A charming, thought-provoking surprise... a powerful, deftly accomplished feat of theatrical magic. With loads of charm and a joyous embrace of what it's like to be young, MTC’s I and You is a sweet and lovely thing, a tiny little play that, miraculously, contains multitudes." – North Bay Bohemian Closed Sept 15, 2013 GOOD PEOPLE | By David Lindsay-Abaire | Bay Area Premiere “So beautifully brought to life… Thanks to an outstanding ensemble, and Tracy Young's empathetic direction, this funny, suspenseful and thought-provoking play gets the caliber of production it deserves at Marin Theatre Company." – San Francisco Examiner
