Dear Friends,

PROVOCATIVE PLAYS | PASSIONATE PLAYWRIGHTS are what you will find at Marin Theatre Company. Our PROVOCATIVE PLAYS will entertain you, thrill you and engage you in our two intimate theatres where you can escape into a realm of the mind, of language, and of pure excitement. Our PASSIONATE PLAYWRIGHTS will ignite your emotions, fire your imagination, and ask you to examine our world from countless angles and points of view.

Contemporary master Terrence McNally’s charming romantic comedy Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune, starring local Bay Area favorite Rod Gnapp and Oregon Shakespeare Festival Company member Terri McMahon, opens our season. In its Bay Area Premiere, Conor McPherson’s engaging and chilling dance-with-the-devil, The Seafarer, comes to you straight from its smashing success on Broadway. Athol Fugard’s magnificent and uplifting tale of hope, My Children! My Africa!, is set on the eve of the revolution that would crush Apartheid as a visionary teacher opens the world for two very different teenagers. In a startling new play making its Bay Area Premiere, San Francisco playwright Octavio Solis arrives at MTC with Lydia, a haunting look at family and the border in 1970s El Paso that is sure to take its place among our classic American family epics. Our first SKY COOPER NEW AMERICAN PLAY PRIZE WINNER, Magic Forest Farm, will introduce you to one of the American theatre’s most exciting and innovative new voices – Zayd Dohrn. Highjinks, hysteria, and confusion will leave you laughing and screaming for more as we close the season with Joe Orton’s classic farce, What the Butler Saw.

Come join us at MTC; your seat is waiting for a journey that will explode ordinary expectations.
