Center Stage Announces 2014-15 Season

Amadeus, One Night in Miami among next season's highlights.

Center Stage artistic director Kwame Kwei-Armah has announced next season’s
lineup of plays, noting that the productions tend to focus on “a
tipping point, a moment when everything changes. And it’s in those
moments, when the ground seems to give way, that we find out exactly
what we’re made of.”

The season opens with a revival of the Tony-winning Amadeus (Sept 10-Oct 12) and also includes the Pulitzer-winning musical Next to Normal (Oct 8-Nov 16), holiday favorite It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play (Nov 18-Dec 21), and One Night in Miami
(Jan 14-Feb 15), a fictional take on the night Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown,
Sam Cooke, and Malcolm X met in a Miami hotel room. The theater will
also stage a pair of Amy Herzog plays, After the Revolution (Apr 1-May 24) and 4000 Miles (Mar 18-May 17), both of which are Baltimore premieres.

Kwei-Armah
also promised “a major new project that will be an extraordinary ending
to the 2014-15 season” but provided no additional details. Stay tuned.
