Spring 09 Plans


Just a little news, until the next post of substance...


A busy spring lies ahead:

For the Warren Wilson College Department, I'll be directing Fever/Dream by Sheila Callaghan, performing March 4-7. The play is an adaptation of Calderon's Life Is A Dream. Go here for more info! Rehearsals have been fun and wacky so far, and Callaghan is a wonderful playwright.

At NC Stage, I'll be doing my first show with Immediate Theater Project. That one is Dead Man's Cell Phone by Sarah Ruhl, scheduled to perform April 7-18, with a possible extension to the 25th.

And finally, for North Carolina Stage Company itself, I'm heading up Joe Orton's What The Butler Saw, which will run May 12-30. NC Stage info can be found here.

On the teaching front, there's "Ensemble I: Rehearsal Dynamics" and "Design and Interpretation for the Theatre," a new course in reading plays visually... And I'll be supervising a collaborative set of senior projects (acting, directing, costume design and sound design) for an outdoor production of The Bacchae in April. I will also be making a couple of trips up to Amherst College to provide a director's take for a course in the music department there called "Making Opera."
