Naked Stage 2025 Productions
This season’s focus will inevitably relate to Rossmoor residents. All three plays take place in retirement communities and will be directed by three seasoned directors who have not previously directed a “Naked Stage” show.The plays are “Flamingo Court” by Luigi Creatore, directed by Michael McGarty, March 21-23; “Quartet” by Ronald Harwood,directed by Stephanie Singer, June 20-22; and “Grand Horizons” by Bess Wohl, directed by Gary Green, Oct. 17-19. All performances will take place at the Performing Arts Center at Hillside at 2 p. m.
“Flamingo Court” is a delightful comedy made up of three short plays, each in a different condo within the same Florida retirement community. The play offers a humorous and heartwarming look at the lives of seniors, celebrating their spunk and resilience.
“Quartet” concerns aging opera singers living in a retirement home for musicians. Three formally very accomplished performers are rehearsing for a gala concert at the facility to celebrate Verdi’s birthday. Peace is shattered by the arrival of Jean, a huge star in her time, who has a personal history with one of the others. Three of the group are eager to perform the third act quartet from “Rigoletto”, but newcomer Jean is not. Is there any chance that the four will ever sing together again?
“Grand Horizons” is set in the Grand Horizons retirement community. After 50 years of dysfunctional marriage, Nancy and Bill are on the verge of divorce when their children intervene uninvited. How the couple finds peace and quiet, and a way forward, leaves the audience laughing while shedding a tear.
“Naked Stage” is dedicated to nurturing the development of seasoned, new and emerging talent. All Rossmoor residents are invited to audition for “Naked Stage” shows, although DAOR membership is required for all those cast in a show. Audition dates for each play are published in the Rossmoor News and on the DAOR website.
