Closer

Closer

by Patrick Marber

Regional premiere of this sexy, dark British play by Patrick Marber. Quantum staged in the parking garage complex of the Jackman Building, downtown, in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.

Kafka’s Chimp

Kafka’s Chimp

by John Metcalf / Mark Morris
The Pittsburgh Zoo

The American premiere of this opera, which was created in 1996 at the Banff Centre by Welsh composer John Metcalf and Canadian librettist Mark Morris. An international cast of five opera singers was led by Michael Douglas Jones and Richard Morris, under the musical direction of Nizan Leibovich and stage direction by Karla Boos. The Pittsburgh Zoo provided a location, and Tony Ferrieri created a scaffolding cage enclosing both action and audience, as a set. The company included dancers Michele de la Reza and Peter Kope, and an ensemble of eight instruments who moved throughout the space, playing largely from memory.

The Wild Duck

The Wild Duck

by Henrik Ibsen
The Carriage House, Western PA Family Center

Ibsen's classic drama in Robert Brustein's accessible translation. Directed by Richard Keitel, the play was staged in the 19th century carriage house of the Western PA Family Center in Highland Park. Design team Tony Ferrieri, Pei-Chi Su, C. Todd Brown, and Greg Granger created exact period detail both in and outside the carriage house.

The Arabian Night

The Arabian Night

by Roland Schimmelpfennig
Spring Way Center

American premiere of a new play by German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, translated and directed by Melanie Dreyer. Quantum staged it in slick, modern Spring Way Center, to approximate the multi-levels of a contemporary German apartment complex in which racial tensions between Germans and Turkish immigrants simmer.
