Previews begin tonight (April 20, 2011) for New Village Arts Theatre’s west coast premiere production of Scott Hudson’s Sweet Storm.
In 1960 Florida, during a approaching storm Ruthie and Bo, two newlyweds, enter their honeymoon suite in the sky: a treehouse which is a romantic gift from the young groom to his bride. Yet Bo’s expectations of living happily ever after in the sky are soon grounded by Ruthie’s realization that marriage comes with many unforeseen – and frightening – challenges. The two lovers struggle to fortify themselves against forces both inside and outside. This is a funny, powerful, and intimate love story to challenge our perceptions of marriage, faith, and love.
The production features NVA Ensemble Member Adam Brick with Kelly Ivernsen. Pay-what-you-can previews run April 20 through 22, 2011 at 8 PM. Click here to buy tickets. Opening night April 23, 2011. Click the link for more info.

Carlsbadistan’s New Village Arts Theatre has decided to go “ensemble” for their 11th season. What that means is that all six of the theater’s productions will be created entirely by the same 14 actors, directors, designers and stage managers.
The Ensemble Project gives New Village Arts the opportunity to fully explore the group mind at work in a theatrical setting. The collaboration of this group will create a stronger art form than an individual alone and allow New Village Arts to continue its Ensemble experience with a better understanding of the potential of concentrated Ensemble work.
For more information (including a list of all plays to be performed and dates) please follow the jump. [click to continue…]

Carlsbadistan’s New Village Arts Theatre kicks off its November New Play Festival with stop number three of the world premiere of Yury Klavdiev’s I Am The Machine Gunner November 12-14, 2010.

This one man show features Equity actor James Knight, most recently seen in San Diego in ALIVE AND WELL at the Old Globe Theatre and is directed by David M. White.
Tickets for I Am The Machine Gunner are $15 or $39 for a festival pass which includes tickets to Renee Moreno’s Picturing My Sister (November 19-21, 2010), and Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol (November 26-28, 2010). For more information click the link.

Carlsbadistan’s New Village Arts Theatre will kick off the first musical they’ve ever produced when Stephen Sondheim’s Into The Woods directed James Vasquez opens Saturday, September 25, 2010.
Once Upon a Time… a baker and his wife embark on a quest into the woods, to fulfill the witch next door’s request and lift a curse that has kept them from having a child. Along the way, they meet Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk), Cinderella, two handsome princes and a motley assortment of other characters, all on quests of their own. Stephen Sondheim’s enormously popular musical answers the question of what really happens after “happily ever after” and includes some of the most beautiful songs in the musical theatre canon, including “Giants in the Sky”, “Children Will Listen” and “No One Is Alone.”
A cocktail party with the director and the cast will be held directly following the opening show. Click here to buy tickets online or for more information click the link.
