    Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    By Edward Albee

    Directed by Andy Leahy

    Performance Dates: March 10 thru 26, 2023

    George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfire between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair.

    Cameron doesn’t know what to write for an honors English assignment on the fairy tales of the Brothers Grimm. Luckily, friend Jaime has the solution… watch TV versions of the tales! But when Cameron points the unusual looking remote at the screen, expecting Netflix or Apple TV, instead they find the wackiest assortment of fairy-tale themed programming! There’s a Project Runway style competition show called “Project Ballgown,” a Frog Prince soap opera called “The Green and the Beautiful,” a game show hosted by Magic Mirror called, ”Who’s The Fairest One of All?,” and a sitcom starring Rumplestiltskin! The teens also find news stories, a Law and Order style show, a movie trailer, and of course, commercials!

    Shakespeare Workshop: 4, 90-120 min. workshop sessions customized for Wm. Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
    Monday, March 20 at 6pm
    Tuesday, March 21 at 6pm
    Wednesday, March 22 at 6pm
    Thursday, March 23 at 6pm
    Locattions: TBD
    Tailored to individual actors, beginners to more experienced. Upgrade your performance toolkit by exercising your vocal and physical range, and your character building skills through directed monologue and scene work.
    Goals: Identify skills and provide tools used in the performance of Shakespeare.
    Practices: Exploration, examination, discussion, and engagement in 3 primary areas.
    1. TEXT: Understanding the world of The Tempest: Explore and discuss information in Shakespeare’s prompts and stage directions in The Tempest that delivers insights about the play and the playing of it. We will also consider the numerous special effects in the Tempest such as magic, storms, swordfights, pageantry, and illusion.
    2. STORYTELLING: Examine the performance and storytelling choices available to us through investigation of early theatre conventions and comparison to contemporary practices.
    3. ACTOR SKILLS: Beginning with Rhetoric, we will decode Shakespeare’s wordplay to find clues about characters’ point of view, speech, and movement. Introduction to practical ways to utilize the varying patterns of iambic pentameter will guide you to stronger character choices.
    Participants will develop character building skills through dynamic individual and group practice incorporating text, voice, body, and memory work. The aim is to produce intellectual and emotional content that connects the actor to the text. We will explore how this work significantly enriches our collaboration with the audience. As a complement to your more muscular character building skills, there will be the opportunity to “out your inner clown” by developing a physical and vocal vocabulary unique to your own Clown. And, in the Shakespearean tradition of doubling characters, we will practice differentiating multiple characters.

    Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

    By Edward Albee

    Directed by Andy Leahy

    Performance Dates: March 10 thru 26, 2023

    George, a professor at a small college, and his wife, Martha, have just returned home, drunk from a Saturday night party. Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfire between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair.

    Workshop: The Tempest

    6:00 pm
    03/21/2023
    Shakespeare Workshop: 4, 90-120 min. workshop sessions customized for Wm. Shakespeare’s The Tempest.
    Monday, March 20 at 6pm
    Tuesday, March 21 at 6pm
    Wednesday, March 22 at 6pm
    Thursday, March 23 at 6pm
    Locattions: TBD
    Tailored to individual actors, beginners to more experienced. Upgrade your performance toolkit by exercising your vocal and physical range, and your character building skills through directed monologue and scene work.
    Goals: Identify skills and provide tools used in the performance of Shakespeare.
    Practices: Exploration, examination, discussion, and engagement in 3 primary areas.
    1. TEXT: Understanding the world of The Tempest: Explore and discuss information in Shakespeare’s prompts and stage directions in The Tempest that delivers insights about the play and the playing of it. We will also consider the numerous special effects in the Tempest such as magic, storms, swordfights, pageantry, and illusion.
    2. STORYTELLING: Examine the performance and storytelling choices available to us through investigation of early theatre conventions and comparison to contemporary practices.
    3. ACTOR SKILLS: Beginning with Rhetoric, we will decode Shakespeare’s wordplay to find clues about characters’ point of view, speech, and movement. Introduction to practical ways to utilize the varying patterns of iambic pentameter will guide you to stronger character choices.
    Participants will develop character building skills through dynamic individual and group practice incorporating text, voice, body, and memory work. The aim is to produce intellectual and emotional content that connects the actor to the text. We will explore how this work significantly enriches our collaboration with the audience. As a complement to your more muscular character building skills, there will be the opportunity to “out your inner clown” by developing a physical and vocal vocabulary unique to your own Clown. And, in the Shakespearean tradition of doubling characters, we will practice differentiating multiple characters.

Martha announces, amidst general profanity, that she has invited a young couple—an opportunistic new professor at the college and his shatteringly naïve new bride—to stop by for a nightcap. When they arrive the charade begins. The drinks flow and suddenly inhibitions melt. It becomes clear that Martha is determined to seduce the young professor, and George couldn’t care less. But underneath the edgy banter, which is crossfire between both couples, lurks an undercurrent of tragedy and despair.
