O'Dwyer's comic talents will be tapped in the cross-dressing role of Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. Dorfman will take time away from his busy film/television/theater career to perform David Sedaris' offbeat holiday monologue, The Santaland Diaries. And Butler will get an opportunity she has been craving - the chance to explore a serious role in a nonmusical - when she depicts the title character in August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
"We wanted to build the season around several of our associate artists who are loved by our audience," says Irene Lewis, Center Stage's artistic director. The 2009-2010 season is scheduled to be officially announced Monday.
Organization officials announced in March that they are trying out a new structure for the troupe's 48th season. Instead of mounting six evening-length plays, as Center Stage has done in the past, this year that number will be reduced to four, which will be mounted in the 541-seat Pearlstone Theatre.
