Center Theatre Group Artistic Director Snehal Desai Talks 2024-2025 Lineup, Including Sutton Foster in ‘Once Upon a Mattress’
Center Theatre Group artistic director Snehal Desai shares the 2024-2025 season lineup including Sutton Foster appearing in 'Once Upon a Mattress.'
Prior to CTG, Desai was producing director of East West Players, the nation’s largest and oldest Asian American theatre company, so he’s more than familiar with the changing tides of the world of the arts, particularly post-pandemic. CTG:FWD will continue programming in the 2024-25 season with several special events including The 7 Fingers production of “Duel Reality,” which mixes circus acts and illusions to tell a story inspired by “Romeo and Juliet.” It will play the Ahmanson beginning Sept. 11. While he say the production will be true to the play and in verse, “it’s also going to be kind of a forensic analysis of passion and connected to Hollywood, so he’s going to have a Hitchcockian, David Lynch-inspired take on it.” Desai also says it will have a film noir flair and echoes O’Hara promise: “There will be blood.”
