The Santa Fe Playhouse will present the following shows for our
90th Season
2011-2012:
- FIESTA MINI-MELODRAMA 2011 by anonymous committee
Aug 31 - Sep 11, 2011
Directed by ELIOT GRAY FISHER
Will beautiful-but-overworked ingenue Luz Loveworthy and singing cowboy Hairy Potter stop the wily industrialist P.N.M. Swindelmann from using his connections with the new Governor to take over the New Mexico territory? Boo, hiss, sigh, and cheer for the actors onstage in this beloved annual spoof of our fair city!
- COLLECTED STORIES by Donald Margulies
Co-produced by Oliver Productions
Sept 29 - Oct 16, 2011
Directed by Bradford Fairbanks
produced by permission of Dramatists Play Services
Starring Lois Viscoli and Vanessa Rios y Valles
Over the course of six years, we follow a prominent writer and her young protege as their relationship evolves from one of confidants to competitors, and the line between fact and fiction blurs. "This is probably Margulies' best play to date..." NY Post. "Margulies' play is an affecting character study and a well-drawn portrait of the insular world of fiction writers, demonstrating his gift for sharply written and incisive dialogue." Hollywood Reporter.
- MOONLIGHT & MAGNOLIAS by Ron Hutchison
Dec 1 - Dec 18, 2011
Directed by Janet Davidson
Producer Ginny Cerrella
produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Services
Studio President David O. Selznick is having a hell of a time getting his vision for "GONE WITH THE WIND" up on the big screen. Already in production, he's fired the writer and director and brought in Ben Hecht and Victor Fleming, locking them in his office for days on end. Can they really get a shooting script together without killing each other first? Frankly, my dear, it's a comedy!

Feb 2 - 26, 2012
Made possible by a generous grant from
THE WITTER BYNNER FOUNDATION FOR POETRY

- OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY
written by Jerry Sterner
Directed by Ron Bloomberg & Barry Hazen
June 14 - July 1, 2012
A riveting black comedy, about the duplicitous dealings of a Wall Street Raider, as relevant today as when the play was first produced in 1989!
In addition, the following productions will also be presented
at the Santa Fe Playhouse:
- JULIE BRETTE ADAMSMay 2012
"Open Heart Dancing" played to sold out audiences in the summer of 2009.
Dancer/Choreographer Julie Brette Adams returns in 2012 with an evening of new solos that travel the intimate pathways of the heart. She is known for
haunting and poetic choreography set to diverse and unusual music. Adams "connects immediately with the audience ... performs with a fluid and
disciplined grace." (Albuquerque Journal)
