Beginning the week of Thanksgiving and running through the end of December, Artists Rep offers Portland audiences a pair of decidedly offbeat holiday plays all in the same night. From the World Premiere of Matt Pelfrey's The Reason for the Season that involves a wrestling match between parents and Santa, to the Northwest Premiere of Anthony Neilson's The Night Before Christmas where a hostage elf tells tales of Santa's secrets - these new plays offer theatre-goers a gleeful dose of raucous, very adult, holiday spirit.

Artists Repertory Theatre's 2013/14 season will continue our vision of finding and producing adventurous, provocative work that challenges audiences and artists alike. Next season's play offerings will enhance Artists Rep's role as Portland's premiere mid-size regional theatre company by offering nine of the most cutting-edge plays available today, written by internationally prestigious playwrights, guided by esteemed directors and featuring casts who will unleash these stories onto our stages.

Ein Musical über Friedrich den Großen zu schreiben und zu produzieren lässt mutmassen das im Jubiläumsjahr des deutschen Kaisers ein mini bisschen wirtschaftliches Kalkül hinter diesem Projekt steckt. Nun wurde in der Vergangenheit über die verschiedensten Persönlichkeiten ein Musical geschrieben, das mal sehr gut ('Elisabeth', 'Evita', 'Rudolf'), mal weniger gut ('Bernadette', 'JFK: The Rock Opera', 'Marilyn: An American Fable') funktioniert hat. Leider beweist diese Adaption, dass man nicht mit jedem Material einen musikalischen Geniestreich zaubern kann. Christoph Jilo's Dramaturgie geleitet immer wieder ins klischeehafte ab und bedient sich der bis zum erbrechen reproduzierten Idee einen bereits verschiedenen Protagonisten als Erzähler oder in diesem Fall, als Gewissen einzusetzen.
