Jewish Theatre of Bloomington presents: ‘Old Wicked Songs’

The Jewish Theatre of Bloomington presents the Pulitzer Prize nominated play “Old Wicked Songs”, written by Jon Marans and directed by Mark Kamie. Evening performances will be at 7:30 pm on Saturday, June 8; Thursday, June 13; and Saturday, June 15; with a 2:00 pm matinée on Sunday, June 9. All performances are at the Bloomington Playwrights Project. General admission tickets are $18.00 and are available at the Buskirk-Chumley Theatre Box Office or online at www.bctboxoffice.com.

The setting for the play is Vienna in the spring of 1986. Stephen Hoffman is a technically brilliant pianist who lacks passion in his playing and whose career is plagued by an artistic block. He arrives in Vienna with hopes of regaining his confidence and to study accompanying with Professor Schiller, a master teacher. However, Stephen is first assigned to Viennese music professor Josef Mashkan to study voice which is meant to prepare him as a vocal accompanist. Hoffman’s first assignment is to learn the “Dichterliebe” song cycle by Robert Schumann and it is through this music that past collides with present, dark secrets are revealed, and the discovery that they possess greater commonalities than just music alone.

Cost: $18
