OCTOBER 11–OCTOBER 28, 2012

This groundbreaking and award-winning musical

explores how one suburban family copes with

crisis. With a thrilling contemporary score, Next

to Normal is an intense, emotional powerhouse

of a musical that aims right for the heart with

its story of a family coming to terms with its

past and bravely facing its future. ATC will mount

the highly anticipated Southwest premiere follow-

ing its long Broadway run. Contains mature themes

and language.

A NEW AMERICAN PLAY

NOVEMBER 15–DECEMBER 2, 2012

Football’s Super Bowl trophy is named for the

legendary coach of the Green Bay Packers. Few

people, however, know the real story of Vince

Lombardi the man—his inspirations, his passions

and his ability to drive people to achieve more

than they ever thought possible. Based on David

Maraniss’ book When Pride Still Mattered—A

Life of Vince Lombardi, this hit Broadway play

explores Lombardi’s relationship with his wife,

Marie, and three of his legendary players during

a pivotal week in 1965. Lombardi is the stirring

human tale of the man behind the myth who

stalked the sidelines.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL CALLS LOMBARDI “ AN EXTREMELY WELL-CRAFTED PIECE OF INTELLIGENT

THEATRE” AND ABC NEWS SAYS “YOU DON’T NEED TO

BE A FOOTBALL FAN TO ENJOY LOMBARDI.”

“ I KNOW LOSING IS A PART OF LIFE. DOESN’T MEAN I HAVE TO LIKE IT.”

BY PAUL GORDONTONY AWARD NOMINEE

A SUMPTUOUS NEW ROMANTIC MUSICAL COMEDY

DECEMBER 31, 2012–JANUARY 20, 2013

One of Jane Austen’s most enchanting heroines

comes to life in this lavish new large-scale

musical from Paul Gordon, the Tony Award-

nominated composer of Daddy Long Legs and Jane

Eyre. Emma Woodhouse firmly believes herself to

be a most talented matchmaker, so she chooses

her hapless friend Harriet as her next project.

Yet despite Emma’s obsession with romance she

remains clueless to the true desires of her own

heart. Her meddling leads to a whirlwind of comic

complications and, of course, true love.

“ A GEM OF AN EMMA.” —UNION TRIBUNEJANE AUSTEN’S

OFF-BROADWAY’S LONG-RUNNING SENSATION

FEBRUARY 14–MARCH 3, 2013

Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud pioneered the

Id, the Ego and the Superego. Writer C.S. Lewis

created The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Two men, both brilliant, yet vastly different: Freud

the atheist, Lewis the believer. They meet in 1939

as England goes to war against the Nazis. Their

evening of electrifying conversation about God,

love, sex, and the meaning of life will spark

controversy long after the show is over. Freud’s

Last Session has been drawing record-breaking

crowds for over two years in New York.

“ DELIGHTFUL! A BRAINY FENCING MATCH OF OLYMPIC

CALIBER!” —JOHN SIMON, BLOOMBERG NEWS

A TOUCHING COMEDY FROM ONE OF AMERICAN THEATRE’S MOST ACCLAIMED AND CHERISHED PLAYWRIGHTS

MARCH 28–APRIL 14, 2013

Lewis and Clark were the kings of comedy—it’s

a shame they can’t stand each other! Al Lewis

and Willie Clark kept audiences in stitches for

decades, but now estranged for eleven years,

they agree to reunite for one last TV performance.

But can they get through their most famous sketch

one last time without killing one another? Recon-

ciliation and friendship battle grudges and resent-

ment in Neil Simon’s comic masterpiece about

growing old.

“ …AN AFFECTIONATE, CONVULSINGLY FUNNY,

TOUCHING COMEDY; ONE OF THE BEST PLAYS OF NEIL

SIMON’S PHENOMENAL CAREER.” —VARIETY

“ MY WHOLEEVENING’S GONNA BE TAKEN UP TONIGHT WITH NOTHING BUT LAUGHING.”

AWARD-WINNING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

OF MILWAUKEE REPERTORY THEATER

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR DRAMA

MAY 2–MAY 19, 2013

Home is where the heart—and history—is. Jokes

fly and hidden agendas unfold as two vastly

different generations of characters tip-toe the

delicate dance of social politics. Pitting race

against real estate, two seminal events—50

years apart—are at the crux of the conflict in the

same north Chicago house. This rich and light-

ning quick 2011 Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy

is every bit as provocative as it is entertaining as

it cleverly spins the events of A Raisin in the Sun

into an unforgettable new story about race and

real estate in America. Contains mature themes

and language.

THE NEW YORK TIMES CALLED CLYBOURNE PARK A“ SHARP-WITTED, SHARP-TOOTHED COMEDY OF

AMERICAN UNEASINESS” THAT IS “FUNNY AND

STIMULATING.”

“ THE HISTORY OF AMERICA IS THE HISTORY OF PRIVATE PROPERTY.”
