defunkt theatre has made a name for itself presenting theatre that explores
sexuality and gender politics. Their reputation has made them a magnet for
directors looking to work with challenging themes. Harold Pinter’s master-
piece The Homecoming premiered over forty years ago, and it still has the
power to confront audiences. Some consider it the beginning of theatre
with a feminist message. This promises to be just the beginning of a power-
ful season. PHoTo RIGHT: The Homecoming

THE BOOK OF MORMON
Broadway Across America
January 1st - 6th 2013
It seems like an unlikely confluence: the “Bad Boys” of televi-
sion’s South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, checking out
the large and powerful Church of the Latter Day Saints. The
irreverent result won nine Tony awards in 2011 and much criti-
cal praise, along with a little nod of approval from the church.
The lampoon is, according to Stone, “an atheist’s love letter to
religion.”
The tour is headlined by Broadway star, Gavin Creel, who
(among other talents) is co-founder of Broadway Impact, an
organization fighting for equality and the LBGT community.
