Flint, Mich. - The Flint Repertory Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director Michael Lluberes unveiled an exciting line-up of shows for Rep’s 2021—2022 Season.
“We remain hopeful that cancelations will not occur. Still, if they do happen, subscribers will have the option to receive a full refund, make a donation to the Flint Repertory Theatre or exchange their tickets for future events. Dates are subject to change depending on where we are with capacity restrictions due to the pandemic. Patrons who purchased a season subscription to the 2020-2021 season that was canceled due to COVID were issued a credit on their account at The Ticket Center. This credit can be used toward any FIM purchase.”
After this summer’s critically acclaimed FLINT MURAL PLAYS, Flint Rep looks to the future with a season of extraordinary variety.
Lluberes says, “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the community back into the theatre. As we reopen our doors, we invite audiences to reignite their imagination and fall in love with theatre all over again. From world premieres to bold new interpretations of theatrical classics, we renew our commitment to creating thought-provoking, entertaining, and daring new work for Flint!”
The Rep season kicks off in the fall with Samuel Beckett’s surreal and darkly comic masterpiece HAPPY DAYS, starring Janet Haley. Next up in December is the premiere of a new version of the landmark musical THE FANTASTICKS. With a fresh new rewrite by Tom Jones, in collaboration with director Michael Lluberes, the young lovers at the story's center are re-imagined as two young men.
In the New Year, the Rep dives into the theatrically daring currents of the WRONG RIVER by Josh Wilder, a world-premiere play about an African-American family living in Flint during the water crisis.
Spring brings Arthur Miller’s DEATH OF A SALESMAN, starring one of Broadway’s most exciting actors, two-time Tony Award nominee Lewis J. Stadlen as Willy Loman.
The annual NEW WORKS FESTIVAL brings cutting-edge playwrights and composers from all over the country to Flint for a week of staged readings of new plays and musicals at the end of April.
The season culminates with THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN by Gordon Leary and Julia Meinwald, a world-premiere musical about the 1996 U.S. Women’s Gymnastics Team as they capture the nation’s imagination while competing for Olympic Gold.
