THE 2009-2010 PRODUCTIONS:

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
September 16 - October 11, 2009
This cult classic and comic masterpiece of the southern literary canon is the tale of the slothful Ignatius J. Reilly, writer, cultural critic, bastion of morality, advocate for the disenfranchised and nemesis of industry, as he ventures out into the working world to support his despairing mother. A kaleidoscopic cast of Big Easy characters completes Toole’s comic masterpiece.

Emma by Jane Austen
October 20 - November 22, 2009
Jane Austen’s fourth novel is a sparkling comedy of 19th-century manners centering on the well-intentioned Emma and her sometimes indiscreet, often misapplied, and always entertaining efforts as matchmaker. Austen’s deliciously droll descriptions and generous happy endings are Book-It fan favorites.

The River Why by David James Duncan
February 9 - March 7, 2010
Young Gus leaves his quirky, fishing-obsessed family to search for his own truth. With every cast of his pole, the Zen-like repetition of his angling activities leads him on a journey of self discovery. Set in the Pacific Northwest, audiences will at once feel kinship with Gus and his burgeoning concerns for stewardship of the land we live upon and the rivers that sustain us.

Novel Workshop Series
April/May 2010 (Check back for dates, titles and artists)
In the spirit of Book-It’s artists’ collective beginnings, company members will explore potential adaptations that have been “waiting in the wings” and test the plausibility of these novels as future additions to the repertory. Patrons will witness the birth of many new works through this series.

The Cider House Rules, Part One: Here in St. Cloud’s
by Peter Parnell, adapted from the novel by John Irving
June 9 - July 11, 2010
And for the icing on our 20th Anniversary cake, we are thrilled to revisit this gem that helped to forge Book-It’s future. The Cider House Rules was the first full-length novel adapted in the Book-It Style™ and premiered in 1996 at Seattle Rep. The landmark production put Book-It—and our trademarked style—on the national theatre map and has a special place in our history. This is the story of orphan Homer Wells’ life in a Maine orphanage and his education under the tutelage of Dr. Larch, who delivers not only babies but their mothers, too.

All performances will be held in the Center House Theatre.
