MISTER ROBERTS
Directed by Kate Warner**
SEP 13 - OCT 3/2009
2 hours and 30 minutes, including intermission
Bravery, honor, grace…and rowdy rebellion.
In this 1948 Tony Award-winning classic, a restless crew aboard a cargo vessel idling in the South Pacific is desperately craving some onshore action. When the comedic ensemble clashes with their tyrannical captain, it is Mister Roberts who must bail them out. Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan’s moving, yet humorous story of an officer, who sacrifices his personal quest for the morale of his crew, has us reflecting on one man’s search for purpose during a time of war.
“A superlative comedy.”
