2009-2010 Huntington Season To Include
American Masters, American Voices
From Arthur Miller to August Wilson

The Huntington Theatre Company's 2009-2010 Season promises be a diverse lineup, telling stories of opportunities lost and found, intergenerational struggles and successes, and the most intimate of personal relationships.

From classical masters to fresh new voices, the 2009-2010 season marks the return of the work of the late August Wilson (at left) to the Huntington with his Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning “Fences.” It will be coupled with a spring production of Huntington Playwriting Fellow Lydia R. Diamond's groundbreaking family portrait “Stick Fly.”

The season will also include Arthur Miller’s Tony Award winner "All My Sons;" Craig Lucas’ modern classic "Prelude To A Kiss;" a new American Christmas musical celebration from Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel; a world premiere musical exploration of the music and moments of the Baby Boomer generation starring Broadway performer and Grammy Award-winning pop icon Maureen McGovern; the regional premiere of Gina Gionfriddo's critically acclaimed Pulitzer Prize finalist, “Becky Shaw,” helmed by Huntington Artistic Director Peter DuBois direct from its smash hit Off Broadway run. This is the first season in the Huntington’s 27-year history comprised entirely of American plays.
