Weston Playhouse in Weston, VT has announced their 2008 season, which includes Adam Guettel's The Light in the Piazza.

Is the first regional production of Piazza?

Who's handling the rights to this show, anyone know?

Cheers,

The roll-out for the show regionally has been very slow, largely because regional rights have been given exclusively to LORT theatres, most of whom aren't that keen to produce the show next season because of the extensive (and financially not very succesful) national tour which played most major cities just last year.

One other announced production is in Northern California; The Palo Alto Players. I'm not sure how they got around the LORT restriction but they are doing the show in April, which presumably would make them the first announced regional production.

Theatre Three in Dallas will be performing the show October 23 - November 23 of this year.

A theater on Long Island is doing the show in June.

I really hope Arena Stage in DC does this show after their new facility is built.

The Heritage Theatre production looks beautiful but like it completely ripped off the staging of the original production...

Here is the Los Angeles regional premiere opening in January.

Well not regional West Coast Premiere - the show was done up in Northern California a few months ago. I guess Lambs Players would be the Southern California Regional Premiere, and Covina would be the Los Angeles Regional Premiere.

Here is a link to the Lambs Theatre production. I'm not sure how old that Clara is...

All this regional business gets tricky (and silly). Its just nice to see the show being given a nice roll out.
