We hope you’ll join us for an amazing fall as Cap & Bells kicks off its 2011-2012 season! This fall season is the final product of a new way that Cap & Bells is choosing the plays we produce. We started by asking for suggestions from members of the group, checking in on what plays people wanted to see in the coming year. We compiled a list of plays and invited everyone to vote for their favorites. Keeping preferences in mind, the board and I chose four plays and invited student directors to pitch us ideas. Finally, we picked our plays and directors and are excited to announce the fall season productions of The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh, directed by Mario Mastromarino ’12, and Metamorphoses by Mary Zimmerman, directed by Margy Love ’12. These plays explore the act of storytelling itself and force us to re-imagine the stories we tell, how we tell them, and why. They are both gripping and powerful pieces that demand superb performances from all of our student actors, designers, and directors and are sure to thrill, engage, and potentially scar and drown our audiences. By choosing these plays we are throwing down the gauntlet with an ambitious fall season and setting the tone for an innovative and vibrant 2011-2012 season. Make sure to come back soon to check-in on the details of auditions, our new Winter Study (January 2012) project, and the exciting spring season. -Noah Schechter '12, Artistic Director
