Fairbanks Drama Association Presents ~ A Streetcar Named Desire

By Tennessee Williams – Directed by Frank Yaska

A tragic drama reveals the very depths the character of Blanche du Bois, a woman whose life has been undermined by her romantic illusions, which lead her to reject the realities of life.  The pressure brought to bear upon her by her sister, with whom she goes to live in New Orleans, intensified by the earthy and extremely ‘normal’ young husband of the latter, leads to a revelation of her tragic self-delusion and, in the end, to madness.

Fairbanks Drama Association Presents “Picasso”

Fairbanks Drama Association Presents “Picasso”
By Steve Martin – Directed by Michael Shaeffer
February 3 – 19

This absurdist comedy places Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso in a Parisian cafe in 1904, just before the renowned scientist transformed physics with his theory of relativity, and the celebrated painter set the art world afire with cubism.  The playwright plays fast and loose with fact, fame and fortune as these two geniuses muse on the century’s achievements and prospects, as well as other topics with infectious dizziness.  Other characters include Picasso’s agent, the bartender and his mistress, an elderly philosopher, an idiot inventor and Picasso’s date.

Fairbanks Drama Association Presents “It’s a Wonderful Life”

November 25 – December 11

In our American culture, “It’s a Wonderful Life” has become as familiar as Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” It is the saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town  of Bedford Falls, whose guardian angel has to descend on Christmas Eve to save him from despair.  Clarence the guardian angel reminds George of his ‘wonderful life’ by showing him what the world would have been like had he never been born.  This play not only celebrates the faith of the season, it also celebrates American philosophy of life: hard work, fair play and the love and support of one’s family and community will be rewarded.

Fairbanks Drama Association Presents “I Hate Hamlet”

By Paul Rudnick, Directory by Natalie Neubauer
September 16 – October 2

A young, successful television actor has relocated to a gothic apartment in New York. He is offered the opportunit to play Hamlet on stage, but there’s a problem: He hates “Hamlet”. His dilemma deepens with the entrance of John Barrymore’s ghost, who arrives intoxicated and in full costume to the apartment that once was his. The contrast between the two actors, the towering, dissipated Barrymore whose Hamlet was the greatest of his time, and Andrew Rally, hot young television star, leads a wildly funny duel over women, art, success, duty, television, and yes, the apartment.

Fairbanks Drama Presents Steel Magnolias

May 6 – 22, 2011

Steel Magnolias – The best comedy/drama combo story

By Robert Harling – Directed by Diane McClure

Concerned with a group of gossipy Southern ladies in a small town beauty parlor, the play is alternately hilarious and touching and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters.  Truvy’s Beauty Salon in Chinquapin, Louisiana is where all the ladies come to have their hair done and to get free relationship advice. 

The main characters include Ouiser, a rich curmudgeon who has been in a bad mood for 40 years, Miss Clairee of the raging sweet tooth, and M’Lynn and her daughter Shelby who together are planning Shelby’s wedding to a ‘good ole boy.’ Beauty Shop humor is tops.
