Item Description

This is a tough choice. YOU WILL SELECT THREE OF THE FOUR PLAYS LISTED BELOW:

Two House Seats to see The Audience, which takes theatregoers behind the walls of Buckingham Palace and into the private chambers of Queen Elizabeth II as she meets with each of her Prime Ministers, from when she was a young mother to now as a Great Grandmother. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch. Afterwards, go backstage to meet with members of the cast including Dylan Baker, who plays John Major, Dakin Matthews, who plays Winston Churchill, and possibly Helen Mirren herself.

Two House seats to see Wicked, Broadway’s long-running musical about the untold story of the witches of "The Wizard of Oz”, and go backstage to meet Kathy Fitzgerald, who plays Madame Morrible.

Two House seats to see Christopher Marlowe’s Dr. Faustus, at the Classic Stage Company, with Christopher Noth of “Sex in the City” and “The Good Wife” fame in the lead role, go backstage to say hello and maybe go out for a drink after the show.

Two House seats to see the Royal Shakespeare Company's Wolf Hall, either Part One or Part Two. THE NOVELS, BY TWO-TIME MAN BOOKER PRIZE WINNER HILARY MANTEL, WON MULTIPLE HONORS AND BECAME WORLD-FAMOUS, BEST-SELLING SENSATIONS. The plays sold out at Stratford-upon-Avon and quickly transferred to London, where they received critical raves, broke box office records and triumphed as the West End’s biggest hit plays.  Performed in repertory, Hilary Mantel’s exhilarating stories of power and persuasion in Tudor England will transport audiences to the volatile court of King Henry VIII, where words cut like steel and the shadow of the Tower loomed over all.

 

Item Special Note

This item is for two people only. Does not include transportation or hotel. Southwest Shakespeare Company’s Producing Artistic Director Jared Sakren may accompany you backstage to meet actors. Trip will be scheduled at a time mutually convenient to all, and before all shows close. Winner must select three of the four plays. If attendance at all four plays is desired, the winner may purchase tickets to the fourth play, which may not be house seats, but the meet and greet with the actors backstage may not be available.
