OCTOBER 2 I Whiting Auditorium
DE FALLA Nights in the Gardens of Spain
MENDELSSOHN A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Transport yourself to Nights in the Gardens of Spain. Manuel de Falla's composition originally began as a set of nocturnes for solo piano, which evolved into a piano and orchestra piece.

After leaving Spain, we spin the globe to land in Athens with Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream, inspired by the Shakespeare play of the same name. Mendelssohn wrote the famous overture in E Major at just 17 years old.

Flint Repertory Theatre presents
HAPPY DAYS
By Samuel Beckett
Directed by Kathryn Walsh

Absurdist Comedy

Flint Rep associate artist Janet Haley plays Winnie in Samuel Beckett’s darkly comic masterpiece Happy Days.

Stuck in a mound of earth from the waist down, Winnie’s humor and boundless optimism guard her from the harsh glare of the inevitable.

Beckett’s surreal play is an absurdly funny and unforgettable theatrical event.
OCTOBER 8 - 17 I Elgood Theatre
Happy Days is sponsored by Joanne Wood
2021-22 Flint Repertory Theatre Signature Series sponsor: WHITING FOUNDATION
