Church Hill Theatre proudly announces an eclectic and significant 2019 season of plays in its historic art-deco playhouse. As always, CHT strives for a mix of contemporary and classic, laughs and tears, music and words that may change our lives.
The season will begin early in 2019 with the every-popular comedy The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde. It will be followed by a March production of Watch on the Rhine, a gripping drama about the impending Nazi threat, by the 20th century playwright Lillian Hellman. The June musical, a highlight of the Delmarva arts scene, will be the rock classic Jesus Christ, Superstar. September will feature a play-with-music, 33 Variations, by Moises Kauffman. In it, a present-day musicologist and Beethoven himself help bring meaning to some of the composer’s most important piano pieces. The season will end in November with Feydeau’s antic farce A Flea in Her Ear, in a modern script by David Ives. Each production will run for three weekends, with evening performances on Friday and Saturday and a matinee on Sunday.
