Theatre Arlington’s 33 Variations transports the audience through time and music with the compelling story of a musicologist diagnosed with ALS and her fascination with Ludwig van Beethoven’s 33 Variations.

Beethoven and Dr. Katherine Brandt, though separated by 200 years, share an obsession that for us, watching the tangle of passion, parenthood and moments of beautiful transfiguration, almost makes time stand still. Theatre Arlington is delighted to welcome Christian Sanders (Beethoven) and Krista Scott (Brandt) to the stage as they expertly illustrate this stunning drama, with acclaimed pianist Jeff Lankov accompanying live.

Helmed by co-directors Hannah Bell and Bryan Stevenson, 33 Variations brings an all star cast with Michael Phillip Thomas, John Marshall, Gabriela Ayala Yarborough, Eduardo Velez III and DFW favorite Deborah Brown.

Executive Producer Steven D. Morris is confident everyone will fall in love with the heart, humor and music just as he did when first reading it. Theatre Arlington also hopes to help shed light on the mystery of ALS, and thanks the ALS Association for their knowledge and encouragement.

Tickets are $35-$40. Group ticket rates are available for parties of 10 or more.

33 Variations will open at 7:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 14 and close after the 2 p.m. Aug. 30 show.

Shows will run at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays; 2 p.m. Sundays.
