The_Winter's_Tale

I had the pleasure of interviewing Patrick Livingston for today's blog. He helped create the music and plays Autolycus in The Winter's Tale. His double duty roles give fascinating insight into the creation of the show. After tonight's (Thursday April 2nd) performance Patrick and the entire cast will be available for a post show discussion where you can be the interviewer and ask your questions about the show. https://soundcloud.com/rick-curtiss-1/interview-with-patrick-livingston

The beloved cherry orchard feels so much more real now.

Near the end of his life, Anton Chekhov who had suffered from tuberculosis and depression throughout his life, decided to move to the seaside town of Yalta in order to heal. On January 18, 1904, he wrote to his wife, the actress Olga Knipper, “I’m writing The Cherry Orchard very slowly. Sometimes I feel it’s a success, sometimes a failure…It’s all very ordinary, but that’s how things are, unfortunately.”
