The Artistic Home, the 15-year-old theater ensemble now residing in a West Town storefront, today announced a slate of three classics and one world premiere for its 2015–16 season.
The season opens with William Saroyan's 1939 Pulitzer Prize winner The Time of Your Life (September 13–October 25), about the denizens of a San Francisco dive bar. Artistic Home artistic director Kathy Scambiatterra will helm a cast that includes ensemble members Scott Westerman as Joe, Frank Nall as Kit Carson and Julian Hester as Dudley.
For the holidays, the company will stage a radio-play version of Miracle on 34th Street (December 3–20). That's followed by a new play from Scott Woldman with the working title of The Grill (February 7–March 20), about a fraught family reunion. It's directed by Westerman and features Scambiatterra, Hester, Kristin Collins, Maria Stephens, Katherine Swan and David Vogel. Finally, Cody Estle will stage a production of Chekhov's The Seagull (May 22–July 3), with Scambiatterra playing the stage actress and ambivalent mother Irina Arkadina.
