Cymbeline: Opening Week & Sneak Peek

by Nicholas E. Sheets, dramaturg Lights, Actors, DRAMA! After months of research, rehearsals and a lot of candy, our show finally performs in front of a live audience. This is the moment. As the dramaturg my time with the audience is coming to a close and the show will now be experienced by YOU. You are the ultimate judge. Here are a few questions I would ask you to think about when you come see this performance:

  1. What is Teresa, the director, trying to show? Was she effective?
  2. What is the basic outline of Cymbeline? Did you understand the story?
  3. What ideas from the play made you wonder about something bigger? Or, what tickled your fancy?

BONUS: Michael Comp, the narrator for the Film noir style of Cymbeline put together two wonderful trailers for this show. Enjoy the trailers and then come see the show! Film Noir: Fairy Tale: If you've already seen the show, one or both concepts, please comment on your experience below!

Nurturing Seeds and Ourselves

October 25, 2023 10:22 AM
Ever since the beginning of the rehearsal process, director Kris Peterson really wanted the cast to get their hands in the dirt. Like the events of the musical, the earth has a power to connect us to each other, and she recognized that. One way that Charlotte and I thought to do this was to provide a small number of seeds to each cast member and invite them to grow their own plants over the summer. This was also a way to encourage the cast members to stay mentally connected to the show even when they were physically distant from the rehearsal space.
