Press Release
6/17/09 - That Championship Season
2009 Season’s Fifth Production Announced:
Mark Lamos Will Direct “That Championship Season” at Westport Country Playhouse
Mark Lamos will direct “That Championship Season” at Westport Country Playhouse, his first production since being named artistic director in February 2009 at the historic theater in Westport, Connecticut. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award and New York Drama Critics Circle Award, “That Championship Season” by Jason Miller will be the fifth production in the Playhouse’s six-play 2009 season. It will run August 25 through September 12.
“This classic American play is a richly dramatic feast for five actors---a raucous, savage, occasionally riotous examination of men who can't escape their shared past and their present illusions,” said Lamos. “David Kennedy, our associate artistic director, drew my attention to the play, and as soon as I read it I was compelled by its dazzling dialogue and swift dramatic action. I think it's a great balance to the rest of the season so far.”
