August Strindberg’s “Miss Julie,” adapted and directed by Stephen Sachs and featuring Tracy Middendorf, Chuma Gault and Judith Moreland, will open on Friday, Feb. 16, for a seven-week run at the Fountain Theatre.
In this re-imagined adaptation of the Strindberg piece, “Miss Julie” is white and John, the chauffeur, is black. “Miss Julie” is set in Mississippi on the night of July 4, 1964, where racial and sexual tensions ignite in a struggle for power, freedom and social change during the “Freedom Summer” of the Civil Rights Era.
Opening night is Friday, Feb. 16, at 8 p.m., at the Fountain Theatre, 5060 Fountain Ave., in Los Angeles. Ticket prices are $25 for Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m., and Sunday matinees. Saturday nights are $28. For tickets, call (323) 663-1525 or visit www.fountaintheatre.com.
