SUMMARY:The Dorset Theater Festival Presents: LOBBY HERO
DESCRIPTION:LOBBY HERO \n\nAugust 21 – September 5 \n\n\n\n\n\nA SMART & RIVETING TONY AWARD-WINNER \nBy Kenneth Lonergan\nDirected by M. Bevin O’Gara \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building\, nothing ever happens — until everything does. \nWhen a murder investigation entangles a young security guard\, his rule-bound supervisor\, and two very different police officers\, the lobby becomes a pressure cooker of secrets\, loyalties\, and shifting truths. As personal feelings collide with professional duty\, each must decide: Do you protect your principles\, your partner… or yourself? \nJeff\, a well-meaning but adrift security guard\, gets pulled into the mess when his boss’s troubled brother is arrested. Meanwhile\, a rookie cop finds herself forced to challenge her seasoned partner — and question the thin line between justice and convenience. \nSmart\, funny\, and crackling with tension\, Lobby Hero is a riveting comedy-drama about moral gray areas\, everyday heroism\, and the lies we tell — especially to ourselves. From Academy Award winner Kenneth Lonergan (Manchester by the Sea)\, this Tony Award–winning play is as gripping as it is human. \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 21 – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 22 – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 23 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 26 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 26 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, AUGUST 27 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 28 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 29 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 29 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 30 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, SEPTEMBER 2 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, SEPTEMBER 2 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, SEPTEMBER 3 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 4 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, SEPTEMBER 5 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/lobby-hero

SUMMARY:The Dorset Theater Festival Presents: ADVICE
DESCRIPTION:ADVICE \n\nJuly 31 – August 15 \n\n\n\n\n\nA LIVELY & IRREVERENT NEW COMEDY OF BAD MANNERS \nBy Brent Askari\nDirected by Adrienne Campbell- Holt \nStarring film\, television\, and stage stars\, Katie Lowes (ABC’s Scandal) and Adam Shapiro (The Bear) \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNEW ENGLAND PREMIERE! This play just completed its National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere \nWhat happens when a wildly unqualified man writes a self-help book… and then shows up to test it on his friends? \nRon and Joy’s anniversary dinner goes spectacularly off the rails when Gary — recently divorced\, chronically chaotic\, and newly self-declared life coach — shows up with a surprise: a self-help book he’s written called How To Maximize The Most Successful You. The problem? His life is a mess. \nAs Ron and Joy attempt a well-meaning intervention to stop Gary from quitting his day job\, the wine starts flowing\, the “team-building” exercises begin\, and the questions get a little too real. What starts as friendly concern spirals into confessions\, accusations\, and revelations no one planned to serve with dinner. \nFast\, sharp\, and wickedly funny\, ADVICE skewers friendship\, marriage\, and the danger of asking the wrong question at exactly the right time. Brent Askari’s witty new comedy is an uncomfortably relatable look at ambition\, insecurity\, and the chaos of trying to fix someone else’s life — and will have you howling with laughter. \nFRIDAY\, JULY 31 – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 1 – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 2 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 5 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 5 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, AUGUST 6 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 7 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 8 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 8 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 9 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 12 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 12 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, AUGUST 13 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 14 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 15 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/advice

His life is a mess. \nAs Ron and Joy attempt a well-meaning intervention to stop Gary from quitting his day job\, the wine starts flowing\, the “team-building” exercises begin\, and the questions get a little too real. What starts as friendly concern spirals into confessions\, accusations\, and revelations no one planned to serve with dinner. \nFast\, sharp\, and wickedly funny\, ADVICE skewers friendship\, marriage\, and the danger of asking the wrong question at exactly the right time. Brent Askari’s witty new comedy is an uncomfortably relatable look at ambition\, insecurity\, and the chaos of trying to fix someone else’s life — and will have you howling with laughter. \nFRIDAY\, JULY 31 – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 1 – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 2 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 5 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 5 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, AUGUST 6 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 7 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 8 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 8 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, AUGUST 9 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 12 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, AUGUST 12 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, AUGUST 13 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, AUGUST 14 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 15 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/advice

But when the show’s swaggering Hollywood star\, Jake\, sweeps into rehearsal\, the stage becomes a battlefield of ego\, ambition\, and insecurity of truly Kafkaesque proportions. \nCaught in the crossfire is the razor-sharp stage manager—with a complicated history with both men—desperately trying to keep the production (and her sanity) from imploding before opening night. \nTheresa Rebeck’s THE UNDERSTUDY is a wickedly funny\, fast-paced backstage comedy about ambition\, jealousy\, second chances\, and the fragile line between art and ego.

DESCRIPTION:THE UNDERSTUDY \nJuly 10 – 19 (11 PERFORMANCES ONLY!) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/the-understudy \n  \n\n\n\n\nA WICKEDLY FUNNY\, FAST-PACED COMEDY \nWritten & Directed By Theresa Rebeck \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreak a leg… or someone else’s. \nDown-on-his-luck actor Harry finally catches a break: he’s cast as the understudy in a long-lost Kafka play playing to sold-out Broadway crowds. But when the show’s swaggering Hollywood star\, Jake\, sweeps into rehearsal\, the stage becomes a battlefield of ego\, ambition\, and insecurity of truly Kafkaesque proportions. \nCaught in the crossfire is the razor-sharp stage manager—with a complicated history with both men—desperately trying to keep the production (and her sanity) from imploding before opening night. \nTheresa Rebeck’s THE UNDERSTUDY is a wickedly funny\, fast-paced backstage comedy about ambition\, jealousy\, second chances\, and the fragile line between art and ego. Smart\, biting\, and unexpectedly moving\, it’s a love letter to the theater—and a no-holds-barred look at what happens when the spotlight isn’t big enough for everyone. \nSchedule: \nFRIDAY\, JULY 10th – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW) \nSATURDAY\, JULY 11th – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT) \nSUNDAY\, JULY 12th – 2:00 PM \n\n\nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 15 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, JULY 16 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 2:00 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 17 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, JULY 18 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, JULY 19 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING)

SUMMARY:The Dorset Theater Festival Presents: DECEIVED
DESCRIPTION:DECEIVED \nJUNE 19 – JULY 4 \n\n\n\n\nA GRIPPING ADAPTATION OF THE 1938 THRILLER “GASLIGHT” BY PATRICK HAMILTON \nBy Johnna Wright & Patty Jamieson\nDirected by Jackson Gay \n\n\n\nABOUT THE PLAY\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore “gaslighting” was a term\, it was a weapon. \nIn fog-bound 1901 London\, a young bride begins to notice unsettling changes in her home: dimming lights\, footsteps overhead\, whispers in empty rooms. Her charming husband insists it’s all in her imagination. But as the strange incidents escalate\, so does her dread. Is she losing her mind — or is someone carefully\, deliberately unraveling it? \nTrapped in a house filled with secrets and suspicion\, she must cling to her sanity and uncover the truth before it’s too late. If no one is coming to save her… will she save herself? \nBased on Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 thriller that gave us the term gaslighting\, this gripping new adaptation by Johnna Wright and Patty Jamieson delivers pulse-pounding suspense\, shocking twists\, and a chilling reminder of how easily trust can turn deadly. \nYou’ll question everything — until the final\, breathtaking reveal. \nSchedule: \nFRIDAY\, JUNE 19 – 7:30 PM (PREVIEW)  \nSATURDAY\, JUNE 20 – 7:30 PM (OPENING NIGHT)  \nSUNDAY\, JUNE 21 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JUNE 24 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JUNE 24 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, JUNE 25 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, JUNE 26 – 7:30 PM \nSATURDAY\, JUNE 27 – 2:00 PM \nSATURDAY\, JUNE 27 – 7:30 PM \nSUNDAY\, JUNE 28 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 1 – 2:00 PM \nWEDNESDAY\, JULY 1 – 7:30 PM \nTHURSDAY\, JULY 2 – 7:30 PM \nFRIDAY\, JULY 3 – 2:00 PM (MATINEE PERFORMANCE) \nSATURDAY\, JULY 4 – 2:00 PM (CLOSING) \nhttps://dorsettheatrefestival.org/deceived
