I Am My Own Wife
By Doug Wright
March 8 - April 1 2007
SNAP! Productions presents the Omaha premiere of Doug Wright's I Am My Own Wife, directed by Kevin Lawler, from March 8 through April 1, 2007. I Am My Own Wife tells the true story of playwright Doug Wright's encounter with Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, an East German transvestite who survived the two most repressive regimes of the Western world – the Nazis and the Soviet-dominated Communist dictatorship. In this highly theatrical journey, Wright is driven to uncover the secrets of a woman whose very existence seems an impossibility. Actor Nick Zadina plays Wright, von Mahlsdorf, and nearly 40 other characters in this widely-acclaimed story of truth and survival. Winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2004 Tony Award for Best Play, and a host of other awards, I Am My Own Wife promises a "vibrant, vital, and fascinating" night of theatre (USA Today).
Performances begin at 8 p.m. Thursday - Saturday, and 6 p.m. on Sundays
The final performance on Sunday, April 1, is a 2 p.m. matinee
SNAP! will host a TAG Preview Night on Thursday, March 8
“I Am My Own Wife is the most stirring new work to appear on Broadway this fall...both moving and intellectually absorbing.” —NY Times
