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!

Italian Bias

November 06, 2021 01:52 PM
I love working as a dramaturg. I love studying, researching, and learning new things, and being able to treasure new knowledge in my life. Being part of the Julius Caesar production team has been a great and revealing experience. I quickly found out that as an Italian native who now lives in the United States, I have a lot of bias when it comes to my culture. First and foremost, Caesar is never the “bad guy” in my eyes, and I would dare to say he is not the bad guy in the eyes of most Italians as well. Scholars have debated about whether Caesar was a tyrant, would have been a tyrant, or if he would have been just, bringing serenity to a fractioned country. The truth is we will never know because he was murdered before he could become what he had envisioned himself to be.

The Framework of Fandom in Escape from Planet Death

October 27, 2021 12:00 AM
The concept utilized when adapting the Escape from Planet Death podcast to the stage draws upon a type of performance consumption uncommon to traditional theatre fandom. In the world of our production, Escape from Planet Death was an authentic radio show that aired in the 1950s and built a cult fan base. In recent years the way in which audience members consume performance has become increasingly communal rather than individual. Fans and other consumers are invited to actively participate in the creation (or recreation) and circulation of new content, such as Fanfiction/remakes, cosplay, and collectibles.
