SEQUIM – The first showcase of new works from the Olympic Center for the Theater Arts has launched and is in rehearsal, with tickets available now for shows from July 16-18.

A team of established and new to OTA directors are working with a cast of local actors, ranging from veterans to newbies, to bring these stories to the stage for the first time.

The showcase will be dedicated to the late Jim Guthrie, a longtime OTA volunteer, playwright and columnist, journalist and editor of the Peninsula Daily News. Guthrie died aged 81 in November.

Her submitted work, “Searching for a Heart”, will close the six-piece series each evening.

“The late and great Jim Guthrie made us laugh until the end and beyond,” said director of that play, Tia Stephens.

“I am so honored to be directing his final work with a cast who admired him.”

Performances will take place at 7:30 p.m. on July 16 and 17 and at 2 p.m. on July 18.

Tickets cost $ 15 for the general public, $ 13 for OTA members, and $ 10 for students with a school ID card. They are available at the theater box office at 414 N. Sequim Ave., 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday or online at www.Olympic TheaterArts.org.

The works are:

• “Goodbye Cruel World,” by Susan Noyes, directed by Kyle LeMaire – Two women make a suicide pact, but fate steps in.

• “Dance Your Dance”, by John Painter, directed by Christy Holy – A poignant comedy about five souls whose conversations in death reveal their perseverance in life,

• “City of Sequim: Heart of Darkness & Lavender Capital of the World”, by Gabriel Mills and Sarah Brabant, directed by Marissa Meek – A satirical adventure through Sequim.

• “Joie de Vivre”, by Suzanne Bailie, directed by Christy Holy – A dark comedy that explores how far humans will go to keep their joie de vivre in a future where they can live forever,

• “I Dance for Purple,” by Aurora Lagattuta, directed by Ginny Holladay – An isolated woman finds freedom and connection through imagination, music and dance.

• “In Search of a Heart,” by Guthrie, directed by Stephens – A sweet and funny tale reminding us that our best heirlooms will live on in the hearts of others.

“This showcase aims to showcase the written voices of our community,” said Holladay, Acting Executive Director and Director.

“There is no rush like producing a brand new piece of work, and there is nothing more creatively inspiring to me than music and dance. This spectacle is breathtaking. ”

A replay of all the cast was conducted earlier in June in the main auditorium. This was the first time all the cast had gathered to read the entire show, and it will be the last until the dress rehearsal in early July.

Several authors of the selected pieces were also there to hear their lyrics read on stage for the first time.

“Everyone was delighted to be there,” said “Goodbye Cruel World” author Noyes.

ITHACA, NY — Ithaca College will be moving its popular performing arts department from its current location at the School of Humanities and Sciences at Ithaca College School of Music.

The decision was announced at an all faculty and staff meeting in May, IC spokesperson Dave Maley confirmed to the Ithaca Voice, after administrators discussed it with department staff, Maley said.

The change will be implemented in the 2022-2023 academic year, and the time until then will be used to plan the transition. Although asked, Maley did not say if the move would impact someone’s employment status.

Ithaca College was originally founded as a conservatory of music and its music school still holds pride of place nationwide. Currently, there are over 100 faculty and staff listed in the School of Music and over 40 listed in the Department of Theater Arts.

“The college has been exploring potential changes for several years, in order to take advantage of synergies between programs,” Maley said. “The Department of Theater Arts has more in common with the School of Music than with the School of Humanities, where it is currently located. “

Maley further pointed out that music and the performing arts are both performance-based programs, requiring an audition process to be accepted. This requirement does not exist for any other department of the Faculty of Human Sciences.

Commenting at the all staff meeting, IC Provost La Jerne Terry Cornish said the decision was motivated to explore the different ways the arts of theater and music would be compatible. She did not mention whether the move was related to the controversial initiative to prioritize the school’s academic program during the meeting, and Maley did not elaborate in his statement to the school. Voice That is.

The school touted the APP as a way to streamline the college and ensure its long-term sustainability, but it received backlash due to its large reductions in faculty.

Cornish said the Department of the Performing Arts could “in theory” become its own school in the future. First, however, it will go under the aegis of the School of Music.

“We are going to move the theater of health and safety to music to explore the synergies between these schools,” Cornish said at the meeting. “I think we have an opportunity, between music and theater, that we really haven’t fully realized, and I think it’s time for us to fully realize it.”

Follow the conversation on Juneau Afternoon, live at 3:00 p.m. on KTOO Juneau 104.3, live at ktoo.org, and repeated at 4:00 p.m. on KRNN 102.7.

The theaters have been closed for over a year and there have been no in-person classes due to COVID-19. However, despite these circumstances, many theater students at the University of Oregon have strived to make the most of their college experience, especially this year’s graduates.

With the intention of taking the stage or working behind the scenes in their future careers, these seniors have maintained a “the show must go on” mindset since the switch to distance education. However, it wasn’t easy, said UO senior Jessica Jaszewski.

“It was heartbreaking to know that our entire senior year where you do a show or have senior parties would be online,” Jaszewski said. “It was kind of like you lost a bit of your community because the theater is so person-focused. It was difficult.”

Elders Savannah Rogan and Dara Willmarth also spoke about how strange and scary the readjustment to online learning was for them.

“The drama classes on Zoom aren’t the best, but we did what we could,” Rogan said. “However, it will never be what it could have been and we missed out on a lot of the opportunities we should have had for this year.”

Willmarth said she was scared at the start of the pandemic because she didn’t know how it would affect her and felt that students were unsure whether the OU would stay online for the 2020-21 academic year.

“I was extremely frustrated and knew it would impact my education,” she said. Willmarth also said she was more concerned about how it would also affect the community favored by the theater department and the loss of ties with her peers.

However, faced with the obstacles created by online learning, seniors have been able to adapt to this new way of life and learn something new from their classes.

For example, Jaszewski and Rogan took a course called “Zoom Acting” led by UO Theater Arts faculty member John Schmor. In the classroom, they learned to prepare monologues for college auditions, to frame themselves in front of the camera, and to use lighting.

Willmarth also took a drama writing course where students wrote 10 minute plays and had the opportunity to produce them on Zoom. “It was very rewarding and exciting,” she said. “If we had been in person, I don’t think all of our parts would have been produced or some would have been cut. ”

There were also a few other notable benefits with theater taught or performed through Zoom.

“More people can see it. People who might not be able to attend a show in person,” Rogan said. She said she also noticed that students were more comfortable interacting with each other and presenting themselves in a virtual setting.

While Jaszewski did not appreciate the online learning, she said she was grateful that this framework allowed the department to have important conversations about diversity and inclusion.

“I really appreciated that it gave everyone the chance to safely get together and have a conversation that doesn’t normally take place in many theater or education departments, especially the predominantly white ones.” , she said.

She said she hoped these discussions would continue to help diversify the department and encourage people who belong to the theater to join.

As they begin to say goodbye to the OU, the seniors shared a common response to what they will miss most about being in the theater department: the people.

“It’s like a small family,” Rogan said. “It’s going to be weird moving forward without them.”

Willmarth said that along with her friends, she will also miss the teachers who supported her throughout her education.

Jaszewski has said she will miss the direct learning opportunities UO has provided her and the opportunity to try something new like a clown class or learn how to make props.

Elders said there are also many resources and organizations that they encourage theater students to join to meet new people or gain hands-on experience.

One example is the Pocket Playhouse, a student-run organization that allows students to produce their own work and collaborate with others. Jaszewski said Duck TV is a great resource for those looking to get into filmmaking and also recommends checking out the Absolute Improv Club on campus.

“There are so many opportunities,” she said with a smile. “You can be an actor and a playwright, or a director and set designer. You can do all of those things in the department and try them all.”

Theater is all about immersing yourself in a creative space to tell stories and connect not only with the cast and crew, but with the audience, Rogan said.

“I think the theater exudes compassion,” she said. “You have to see outside yourself to produce it, to be part of it or to look at it.”

SEQUIM – Olympic Theater Arts is relaunching live, invitation-only performances this month.

The Arts Center at 414 N. Sequim Ave. is hosting the first performance of “Dr. Watson’s Workshop” in June with extremely limited seating to accommodate members and returning season ticket holders in June.

The performances are intended to thank supporters of the OTA community who have purchased season tickets and season tickets despite the uncertainties and performance limitations of the pandemic, OTA Executive Director Ginny Holladay said.

“We look forward to welcoming our supporters inside the theater,” she said.

“Dr. Watson’s Workshop” was adapted from the original Sherlock Holmes stories by Steve Rodeman, a Sherlock Holmes fan and OTA volunteer.

Due to COVID protocols, actors will wear masks and maintain social distancing, so the presentation will be a staged reading of the new play.

Members of the public will also be masked and distanced in accordance with state requirements for venues.

“Dr. Watson’s Workshop” features actors and a director leading a workshop to develop a new work based on Watson’s memoir. The character of Watson is also present, played by Rodeman, who also took on the role of director. play scene.

The play is set in London in 1920, alongside the return to theater following the last great pandemic (commonly known as the “Spanish flu”).

“The play was presented with various actors in roles to allow for wide participation, since everyone is locked in and waiting to exercise their creative muscles,” Rodeman said.

“While variations on the character and stories of Holmes were made, I wanted to focus on Dr. Watson’s role in their relationship,” he added.

“These stories were selected to highlight how Holmes worked with Watson and how Watson contributed beyond just chronicling their adventures.”

The production closes OTA’s free “Old Time Radio / Video Show” season, which was adopted as an alternative to a conventional season during the pandemic.

Previous performances of the season have been filmed and broadcast on the OTA website to engage the creative theater community in a safe way.

The Department of Theater Arts at Lawrence University performed The domino effect from Thursday May 20. Photo by Alana Melvin.

Last weekend, the Department of Theater Arts at Lawrence University presented their version of The domino effect, a play written by Fin Kennedy. The production was directed by Kathy Privatt and directed by junior Riley Seib.

The play, performed at the Stansbury Theater on campus, is set in Hamlets, London, and follows the life of a girl named Amina who refuses to speak, played by senior Lexi Praxl and sophomore Frankie Sobel. Amina grows up with her mother, Nibijah, played by sophomore Madeline Guest, as well as her father, Samit, played by freshman Jon Winkler. Amina’s father is a watchmaker and struggles to keep the family afloat. In turn, Amina’s mother abandons the two to go to work in America.

Exploring how a small action can lead to a series of unfortunate events, like a frightened fox causing a butcher to lose two fingers, The domino effect deals with the themes of time, family and unintended consequences. Along with a well-defined acting and storytelling, the production also featured an impressive set of gigantic dominoes and a video screen, designed by Aaron Sherkow. The costumes in the play, designed by Isabel Kelly, were mostly uniform and simplistic, but also used impressive and intricate fox and sheep costumes, as well as reflective capes. Movement was also an important aspect of the production, as the actors, all playing the role of narrators, had to perfectly synchronize their lines with their actions. Additionally, detailed footwork aligned with video effects was a prominent feature of the show.

Sobel, who plays Older Amina, as well as Narrator, Fox and Teacher, comments on the multiple roles the cast took on, saying, “I think going from being a narrator to being unable to communicate with words was a really cool experience. I forgot how much I trust words in my everyday life and being able to let that go and just “be” was really fun to explore on stage.

The domino effect, featuring detail-oriented aspects of speech and movement, was a show full of complex theatrical elements colliding. Each performer had an important and crucial role for the overall function of the play. Noticing his favorite aspect of the production, Sobel says, “My absolute favorite thing about The domino effect was the overall element of the show. Being able to build friends on stage knowing that everyone is supporting each other was amazing. ”

Live theater has clearly been different this year than in previous years. Fortunately, the theater department was able to continue the performances throughout this school year with radio broadcasts during the fall term, plays written by students during the winter term and The domino effect this term. All performers were masked during production and seats in the theater were socially distanced. Sobel, a theater major, mentions the challenges artists have faced this year due to the pandemic: “Probably the biggest challenges with COVID-19 are finding ways to navigate a production in order to protect everyone. world. But to be completely honest, the longer this pandemic has gone on, the easier it has been to do theater and it is incredibly rewarding to be able to share stories with people, ”says Sobel.

The university production of The domino effect has another significance, as the show was also playwright Grace Krueger’s Senior Experience project for the Theater Arts Major. Krueger’s senior experience was titled “Small Actions, Big Effects: Diversity and The domino effect, A dramaturgical analysis. A poster featuring the work of Krueger Senior Experience was displayed in the theater lobby for viewers to read.

To sum up the meaning of the performance, Privatt’s ‘Director’s Note’, written in the production’s schedule, states, “While choosing to tell this story here at Appleton, I took Fin Kennedy’s words to heart. on his goals as a playwright: “I don’t” I don’t try to tell people what to think, but I want to give a platform to people and themes that most audiences don’t would not have access. “

One of the UK’s leading drama schools is launching the Mountview Prize to celebrate pioneers who inspire social change and whose lived experiences inspire others.

In June 2020, Mountview pledged to support black and other underrepresented communities and pledged to take a proactive stance in addressing racism, inequality and discrimination with an action plan for the change. In 2021 this engagement has focused on listening, learning and celebrating different lived experiences and the launch of the Mountview Prize is part of this work in progress.

The first Mountview Prize goes to Dawn Walton, who repeated her production of The Death of a Black Man by Alfred Fagon ahead of its May 28-July 10 airing. Walton is the founder and former artistic director of Eclipse Theater Company and her most recent productions include The Gift (Theater Royal Stratford East), Red Dust Road (National Theater of Scotland) and Black Men Walking (Royal Court).

As the recipient of the Mountview Award, Walton will speak and deliver a provocation which will be available on YouTube. Walton’s lecture, titled “Filling the Space, Taking Your Space,” will explore the notion of cultural leadership, referring to her own experiences as a theater practitioner.

The Mountview Prize will also include the awarding of a £ 2,800 scholarship in the name of the winner to a talented young person from a historically excluded community who is in financial need to enable them to attend Mountview’s Foundation in Acting course part-time. . In this way, it is hoped that the award will become an active part of Mountview’s commitment to supporting the next generation of theater makers who remain under-represented in the industry. Over the next year, the scholarship recipient will also meet with Dawn for mentoring sessions.

Mountview Joint Managing Directors Sarah Preece and Stephen Jameson said:

“We are delighted to present the first Mountview Award to Dawn because she illustrates how one person can lead by example and inspire others to change the ecology of their profession. She has been an agent and catalyst of change, challenged orthodox thought, and used theater to empower, celebrate, recognize and shine a light on the work of black artists. We look forward to his speech in June. “

Dawn Walton said:

“It’s an incredible honor, not more because the scholarship will support training in this profession for a talented person who, like me, did not have an obvious path. This is a wonderful intervention from Mountview and I would be proud to have my name attached. To.”

Western Connecticut State University’s Department of Theater Arts announces its Spring Virtual Productions series. The series includes four unique productions that will air twice over two weekends covering to Sunday May 9.

Considering that most of our professional industry has been on hold for over a year, we are excited not only to provide theater to our community and beyond, but also to provide such meaningful opportunities for our students. These productions have enabled our students to develop new skills; broaden their performance, design and technical experience; and perhaps most important: taught them the importance of creation and expression during difficult times.

Junior Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theater, Logan Farley, of Belvidere, New Jersey, said, “The idea of ​​making Zoom musicals and virtual plays seemed so daunting. However, let WCSU prove me wrong and make lemonade with lemons! The faculty pushed us to create, work together and perform at a time when these things seemed impossible. I’ve always been incredibly proud of the work we do here at WCSU, and I’m especially proud of the work we’ve done as a team this year under such extraordinary circumstances.

Streaming Thursday April 29 and Saturday May 8, “SWEAT” by Lynn Nottage, directed by Tim Howard. Filled with warm humor and a great heart, “SWEAT” tells the story of a group of friends who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets and laughs while working together in the factory. . But when layoffs and picket lines start to undermine their confidence, friends come face to face in a heart-wrenching struggle to stay afloat. This poignant piece examines the deindustrial revolution through the prism of a historical piece, but also delves into today’s issues: economics, immigration, race relations in America, and politics. Nottage’s “SWEAT” gives us characters filled with good and bad, and asks us to reflect on our own views and the views of others.

The next production featured in the Spring Virtual Production Series is A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare, directed and adapted by Pam McDaniel. One of Shakespeare’s most popular and acclaimed comedies, “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” tells the story of love and marriage, order and disorder, perception and reality. The play consists of four interconnected plots, linked by a celebration of the marriage of Duke Theseus of Athens and Amazonian Queen, Hippolytus, which take place simultaneously in the woods and in the kingdom of Fairyland, in the light of the moon. “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” will air on Friday April 30 and Sunday May 9.

The streaming for Saturday May 1 and Thursday May 6 is “The Covid Decameron”, directed and organized by Sal Trapani. “The Decameron”, written in 1348 during the Black Death in Florence, Italy, is the inspiration for this modern and provocative series of reimagined stories by Giovanni Boccaccio. The students, under the guidance of Trapani and in collaboration with a team of designers and technicians, have designed original pieces that include an adult puppet show, a short musical, a series of dance pieces, comedy short films and drama, new songs, unique narration, a Zoom piece, artistic performances and surprise performances. This daring and entertaining event is not to be missed.

The final production of the Spring Virtual Production Series is “Hedda Freeman, a contemporary adaptation of“ Hedda Gabler ”by Ibsen. This production is directed by Justin P. Cowan and adapted by Cowan and guest contributor Kamilah Bush. Ibsen’s “Hedda Gabler” is perhaps one of the most polarizing pieces of the 19th century. Published at the height of Ibsen’s fame and performed throughout Europe, “Hedda Gabler” dares to study a woman’s psychological impulses, and how they are both influenced and informed by her surrounding socio-economic environment. . In this contemporary adaptation, Hedda Freeman finds herself in a marriage and a society that she cannot reconcile or escape. Issues of race, privilege, identity and fate become dramatic as Hedda struggles to define what freedom really means. “Hedda Freeman” airs on Sunday May 2 and Friday May 7.

The Spring Virtual Production Series will air over two consecutive weekends starting Thursday April 29 and ending Sunday May 9. Tickets for each performance are $ 10. For $ 30, pass holders will have access to a performance of the four shows, for the price of three. Seasonal tickets and passes are available at wcsuvpac.eventbrite.com.
