Celebration
by Tom Jones & Harvey Schmidt
June 7-16, 1985
Directed by Shep Pamplin
A comic ritual based on an
ancient battle between a young man and an old man set on New Year's Eve,
CELEBRATION plays out this mythic struggle on a platform observed by Revelers
who wait to see what the winter night will bring.
The revel propels a young
Orphan looking for his lost garden of beautiful peace into a night filled with a
host of bizarre characters, including the richest man in the world and a
beautiful fallen Angel who is part of his entourage. Mr. Rich has not felt
emotion for over twenty-five years, but with the Orphan's help, he once again
achieves humanity, only to find himself in deadly competition with youth for the
Angel's love.
