Hir by Taylor Mac Directed by Brooks Reeves• February 14-March 8, 2019

"Sensational — in all senses of the word... audacious and uproarious." —NY Times

Somewhere in the suburbs, Isaac has returned from the wars (under dubious circumstances) to help take care of his ailing father, only to discover a

household in revolt. His mom, Paige, is a former housewife, recently liberated from an oppressive marriage. With Isaac's newly out transgender brother, the tender, jaded, Max, as her ally, Paige is on a crusade to dismantle the

patriarchy. But in Taylor Mac's sly, subversive comedy, annihilating the past doesn't always free you from it.

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde Directed by Danielle Fauteux Jacques • Starring actor Brooks Reeves.

April 3-May 2, 2019

"The most perfect comedy in the English language." —London Telegraph

Everyone is in love with Ernest, the irresistible bad boy of London society. The trouble is, Ernest doesn't exist.

Apollinaire Theatre Company & The Chelsea Theatre Works

APoLLINAIRE ThEATRE CoMPANy is Chelsea's professional theatre. In 1999 we purchased the historic 1906 Old Post Office Building/Odd Fellows Hall in Chelsea Square and created a new performing arts center, the Chelsea Theatre Works. We recently expanded our home at the Chelsea Theatre Works, opening a new youth theatre- the Riseman Family Theatre for our Apollinaire Play lab program, & a professional blackbox theatre, which this season is hosting our new Resident Artist Program thanks to support from the Boston Foundation. We’re excited to create a vibrant home for artistic creation in Chelsea Square, and to offer much-needed space for local theater artists to work. Our season is year round, moving outdoors for our summer Apollinaire in the Park. Our recent productions of A Beautiful Day in November on the Banks of the Greatest of the Great Lakes and Stupid Fucking Bird won Elliot Norton Awards for Outstanding Production, and our production of Uncle Vanya by Anton Chekhov brought the environmental staging we are known for in our outdoor shows into our indoor theater for the first time, and was nominated for multiple Elliot Norton Awards, including a win for Best Director for Danielle Fauteux Jacques.We’ve been able to do this with support from the City of Chelsea, MassDevelopment, philanthropist Benson Riseman, Mark DiGiovanni, Bob Stachel, and many other very generous donors and supporters. Thank you!

We look forward to sharing these new theaters with you.
