About The Falcon Theatre

2008-2009 Season at The Falcon Theatre

The Falcon is

“Bringin’ the Funny”

All Season Long!

The Falcon Theatre’s 2008-2009 season, a 5-play, all-comedy series, begins on August 13, 2008.

Producer/Director Garry Marshall is thrilled to announce the Falcon Theatre’s 2008-2009 All-Comedy Season: “Bringin’ the Funny!” The Falcon’s 7th subscription series will feature five plays, all comedies, including one World Premiere, one West Coast Premiere, one International Hit and two Troubadour Theater Company shows.

“At the Falcon, we know funny,” says Falcon Founder and softball pitcher Garry Marshall. “With the success of our all-comedy line-up last season, we decided to stick with what we do well and that’s making people feel good!”

The season begins in the Forest of Arden as the Troubadour Theater Company juggles the Bard’s comedy, As You Like It, and the music of U2 in AS U2 LIKE IT . Next, it’s part comedy, part drama, part cha-cha-cha when Lily hires Michael to give her private dance lessons in the international hit play SIX DANCE LESSONS IN SIX WEEKS. For the holidays, The Troubadour Theater Company returns with a revival of their musical coupling of Stevie Wonder’s music and Frank Capra’s classic film in IT’S A STEVIE WONDERFUL LIFE. Kicking off the New Year, Stan Cooper suffers some hilarious bedroom antics in the World Premiere play SURVIVING SEX. And finally, it’s not so easy for Harriet and Leo to smile when they say divorce, especially in 1963, in the West Coast Premiere of Garry Marshall’s EVERYBODY SAY “CHEESE!”

About The Falcon Theatre

The Falcon Theatre is a 130-seat performing arts space located in the Burbank, California media district near Disney Studios, NBC, Warner Bros. and Universal Studios. Built by Director/Writer/Producer Garry Marshall and his daughter Kathleen Marshall, the Falcon opened its doors in November of 1997. Mr. Marshall, who directs movies when he's not playing softball, has a self-described "life-long addiction to theatre" and built the Falcon as a place where old friends and emerging talent can come together to create exciting work on stage. The Falcon's acclaimed productions include Arthur Miller's DEATH OF A SALESMAN with Jack Klugman, Lee Blessing's COBB co-produced with Kevin Spacey & Trigger St. Prods., FAHRENHEIT 451 written by Ray Bradbury and co-produced by his Pandemonium Theatre Company, Charles Nelson Reilly's one-man show SAVE IT FOR THE STAGE, CRIMES OF THE HEART starring Morgan Fairchild, Crystal Bernard and Faith Ford, GOLF WITH ALAN SHEPARD starring Charles Durning, Jack Klugman, Paul Dooley and Granville Van Dusen, WRONG TURN AT LUNGFISH by Garry Marshall and Lowell Ganz, starring Hector Elizondo, and AGA BOOM. to name just a few.

Children's Theatre productions include original versions of such classics as: SNOW QUEEN, CINDERELLA!, 3 LITTLE PIGS, BEANSTALK: A TALL TALE, THE MAGIC FLUTE, and SNOW WHITE; as well as many brand new stories such as THE ROOT BEER BANDITS.

In 2002, Mr. Marshall launched a 5-Play subscription series to complement the Falcon's highly successful Children's Theatre programming. The Falcon also presents “The Falcon Family Summer Theatre” each summer, as well as special “Garry Marshall Presents” productions on selected Sunday evenings throughout the year. The Falcon Theatre operates year-round from September through August.
