WHERE:
Pennington United Methodist Church, South Main Street in Pennington
ADMISSION: a free will offering to AFSP

Operatic mezzo-soprano Jessica Renfro and pianist Lynda Saponara have joined forces to present Viaggio: A Transatlantic Love Affair, a recital of Italian and American music. ll proceeds will be donated to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

 

clip_image004

This cultural event was inspired by Renfro's recent experiences living in Florence, Italy where she performed in last season's prestigious Maggio Musicale Fiorentino. "Everyone says that Italy is beautiful, but I wasn't prepared for how completely I would fall in love with that country, while at the same time being homesick for America". Saponara, an Italian-American, heard and played Italian music from a very young age, and was excited to bring that music into recital form. These classically trained musicians have performed extensively in Europe and the United States, and have created a program of songs that expresses their passion for both Italy and America.

Pennington United Methodist Church has been a long-time supporter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). This organization raises awareness, funds scientific research, and provides resources and aid to those affected by suicide.

BRITISH MARITAL COMEDY TO OPEN IN CHESTER ON MARCH 4

Married life is about to get very interesting. Set on a September evening around 1908, this timeless British comedy centers on three couples who gather to celebrate their joint silver wedding anniversaries. As the evening progresses, one outrageous secret is revealed: the parson who married them wasn’t authorized to perform marriages, thus, they were never actually married and these uptight, distinguished couples have been “living in sin” for twenty-five years. When each couple samples a taste of single life once again, their relationships are vigorously and hilariously put to the test, and the elephant in the room can’t be ignored. Do they really want to be married after all?

The talented cast includes Jason Cilento, Dunellen; Jim Clancy, Basking Ridge; Matt Cotton, Sparta; Rachael Dimichino, Succusunna; Lynn Hart, Wharton; Carol Holland, Long Valley; Judi Laganga, Roselle Park; Gloria Lamoureux, Succasunna; Robert Longstreet, Bridgewater; Robert Mackasek, Mendham; Lauri MacMillan, Rockaway; and Roxanna Wagner, Mendham.

SOLO FLIGHTS FESTIVAL RETURNS TO PASSAGE THEATRE IN TRENTON

SoloFlightsWeb1038x483

SOLO FLIGHTS FESTIVAL

WHEN: Mar 3 - Mar 27, 2016; 8 pm Thursdays-Saturdays; 3 pm Sundays
WHERE: The Mill Hill Playhouse, 205 East Front Street, Trenton, NJ (Secure Parking)
TICKETS
:
$25. Discounts for seniors, groups and students
Purchase at www.passagetheatre.org or 609-392-0766
DIRECTIONS: www.passagetheatre.org

In honor of Passage Theatre’s 30th Anniversary, the popular Solo Flights Festival has returned by popular demand to the Mill Hill Playhouse.  The festival was retired 5 years ago in favor of selected single artist events. 

The Solo Flights Festival features a variety of 6 one-person plays written and performed by 6 artists.

This season’s line-up brings to the stage in rotating repertory:

  • An adaptation of Claude Brown’s Manchild in the Promised Land, by Joseph Edwards, directed by Wynn Handman, March 3, 5, and 6. In this coming-of-age story, young Claude struggles to find his identity and keep his sanity to overcome social ills and turn his life around. The play explores themes of education, the power of choice, and self-awareness.
  • Panther Hollow, written and performed by David Lee White, directed by John Augustine, performs March 4, 12 and 18 and is a comedy describing life at 25 years upon encountering two dead bodies, a Jacobean tragedy, drugs, Satanists, skinheads, Elizabeth Wurtzel, and Nordic death metal. Coming of age in the Midwest can be tough.
  • Remembrance Day, written and performed by June Ballinger, directed by Janice Goldberg, performs March 10 and 20 and follows the memories of an 80-year-old former British code breaker attending a Remembrance Day service in England.  She looks back on her life and the secrets about her work and identity that she has held for over 50 years.
  • Playwright and performer Leslie Ayvazian reads from her collection of stories Mention My Beauty on March 11 and 19, centered on growing up in the 1960’s and 70’s, a time of rebellion and action and indignation.  Although she joined organizations like VISTA…her attention was elsewhere.
  • Etty, crafted solely from Etty Hillesum’s writings during the Holocaust, is an unconventional theatre experience written and performed by Susan Stein that brings the audience into Etty’s thinking as she wrestles to write the life she is living – her loves, her work, her wry sense of humor and her knowledge of self in this moment in history, all whilst confronting God. March 13 and 14.
  • Improviser and storyteller Alex Clothier tries to tell us what happened when Grandma was hit by a train in Everything’s Fine!, through an exploration of family and memory an intimate night full of secrets, laughter, and food. March 17.

“This has been a long popular type of storytelling with audiences internationally and has the benefit of providing each theatre artist control of their own artistry and career,” Artistic Director June Ballinger explains.  “And it affords Passage the opportunity to curate a wildly eclectic month of theatre with a variety of stories, theatrical forms and generations.  There is truly something for everyone, though oddly enough a common theme is pondering the ‘coming of age’…whether 25 or 85!  People were dismayed to see us stop the festival a few years ago, but we decided we needed a change.  But we are back!”

Passage Theatre has been committed to original new work with an emphasis on socially responsible themes for 30 years.  The professional (Actors Equity Association) company performs in the historic Mill Hill Playhouse in Trenton. 

Passage Theatre’s mainstage supporters are: N.J. State Council on the Arts, a partner agency of the NEA; Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation; The City of Trenton; WIMG 1300; The Curtis McGraw Foundation; The James Kerney Foundation; PNC Bank; The Garfield Foundation; Princeton Area Community Foundation; The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey; The Shubert Foundation; New Jersey Manufacturers; Church & Dwight; Mary G.

Second Season of Theater Close-Up Showcasing the Best of Off-Broadway and Regional Theater Continues with Repairing a Nation

Tony Award-winning Blythe Danner hosts production from Crossroads Theatre Company

Theater Close-Up — the unique collaboration between THIRTEEN and the large community of New York City area non-profit Off-Broadway theaters — will present its first regional production, Nikkole Salter’s Repairing a Nation, from Crossroads Theatre Company in New Brunswick, New Jersey, captured live on-stage, in THIRTEEN’s signature “up-close” style. (Top: L to R Stephanie Berry, Chantal Jean Pierre and Landon Woodson. Photo by William M. Brown)

Beginning Friday, February 19, the play will be available online in the tri-state area (www.thirteen.org/topic/programs/theater-close-up/).

The broadcast will again be hosted by Blythe Danner, Tony Award-winning star of stage, screen, and television. No stranger to public television, Danner memorably starred in the Great Performances productions of Chekhov’s The Seagull and Tennessee Williams’Eccentricities of a Nightingale.

Repairing a Nation – directed by Marshall Jones III, Crossroads’ producing artistic director — chronicles a holiday celebration of the Davis family in their native Tulsa, Oklahoma. All goes awry when the family matriarch insists they join a lawsuit seeking reparations for the Tulsa Race Riots that devastated their family 80 years ago. The cast includes Chantal Jean-Pierre, Angel Moore, Landon Woodson, Stephanie Berry, and Phil McGlaston. (Above: Phil McGlaston and Landon Woodson. Photo by William M. Brown)

“We are delighted and proud that new audiences throughout New York, New Jersey and Long Island will be able to see Repairing a Nation, a searing new play by a truly gifted writer who reveals a little-known tragic episode in American history — the Tulsa Race Riots,” said Jones who also directed the original stage production. “Nikkole Salter deftly uses the Davis family to capture the lasting impact of this historic event in the conflicts within contemporary family life.” (Right: Landon Woodson and Angel Moore.

Founded in 1978 by Ricardo Khan and L. Kenneth Richardson, Crossroads Theatre Company embraces the vision that African-American theater is intended for a broad-based, diverse audience. As a major force in the development of new ideas and the introduction of formerly marginalized writers, Crossroads produces works that enrich and diversify the representation of African American culture on the American stage. Crossroads was the winner of the 1999 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theater in the United States.

In her review of the production last year, Ronni Reich of the Newark Star-Ledger posited the question: “What if you knew an injustice had been done, and you had it in your power to make it right? ‘Repairing a Nation,’ an ambitious new play by Nikkole Salter at Crossroads Theatre Company deals with the question on three levels: in a country, in a family, and in a relationship. Marshall Jones III directs an engaging production…In maintaining some lightness and focusing on family, the play becomes relatable rather than didactic as it asks difficult questions…Salter addresses worthy issues in an accessible way, and at least one of them gets a satisfying resolution.”

Theater Close-Up’s second season will continue this spring (airdate TBA) with Signature Theatre’s Off-Broadway revival of Incident at Vichy, by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Arthur Miller.

Last October, THIRTEEN debuted nine plays on Theater Close-Up, encompassing works ranging from vintage playwright John Van Druten to today’s Richard Nelson, and drawing on the resources of some of New York’s finest theater companies.

The second season of Theater Close-Up on THIRTEEN has thus far featured Rasheeda Speaking from The New Group, Fashions for Men from Mint Theater and Wiesenthalfilmed at the Acorn Theatre at Theatre Row.

THIRTEEN is using its unrivaled expertise in producing national PBS arts programming – which began with such classic series as Theater in America, part of the award-winning series Great Performances and special limited series such as Stage on Screen — to provide New Yorkers with unparalleled access to one of the City’s greatest underexposed cultural assets.

Theater Close-Up is a production of THIRTEEN Productions LLC for WNET. The plays were directed for television by David Horn. Mitch Owgang is producer; Bill O’Donnell is series producer; and David Horn is executive producer. Executive-in-charge: Neal Shapiro.

Major support for Theater Close-Up, Season Two is provided by the Howard Gilman Foundation, Bernard and Irene Schwartz, the LuEsther T. Mertz Charitable Trust, the President’s Innovation Fund and Leo Shull and Family.  Major support for the Crossroads Theatre broadcast of Repairing a Nation is provided by the Robert Wood Johnson Health System, Anthony & Wendy Carter, John Hinds, Juanita Jones and M. Ishmael Griffin, MD.

In Proof, Catherine has spent years caring for her brilliant but unstable father, Robert. When he dies, she has more than grief to deal with: her estranged sister, Claire, and Hal, a former student of her father’s who hopes to find valuable work in the 103 notebooks that Robert left behind. And a further problem: how much of her father’s madness — or genius — will Catherine inherit?

Featuring Michelle Wood of Hamilton, NJ as Catherine, Alysia Toscano of Hamilton, NJ as Claire, Rupert Hinton of Princeton, NJ as Robert and Jon Cintron of Trenton, NJ as Harold (Hal) Dobbs. Directed by Jon Cintron and Deena Jiles of Trenton, NJ.

MORRIS MUSEUM TO HOST EXHIBITION ON NJ ARTIST

Carl Burger

W. Carl Burger—The Urge To Paint

WHEN: February 18 through March 27 of this year. An Opening Reception will be held on Thursday, February 18 at 6:30PM and is free to the public.
WHERE:
Morris Museum, 6 Normandy Hgts. Rd., Morristown
ADMISSION: $10 for adults and $7 for children, students and senior citizens. Admission is always free for Museum members.  For more information, call (973) 971-3700, or visit www.morrismuseum.org.

Bringing together some thirty paintings, W. Carl Burger—The Urge to Paint will include representative examples of the work Burger has created over the past seven decades. The exhibition will highlight the artist's interest in landscape and nature, his investigation of architectural forms, and his dramatic recent works on paper. Many of the featured paintings were inspired by the landscape of western New Jersey. The exhibition is drawn from the artist's own collection, private collections, and the collection of Morris Museum.

"The Morris Museum is proud to celebrate the artistry of Carl Burger," said Linda Moore, Executive Director. "Through this exhibition, the Museum continues its longstanding tradition of spotlighting the creativity and talents of New Jersey artists."

Born in Germany in 1925, Burger moved to New Jersey as a young child. He began his career as an Abstract Expressionist and was awarded the Bamburger Exhibition of Contemporary New Jersey Art Award in 1960. Burger then shifted his focus to nature and landscape, particularly through the medium of watercolor. In the 1970s and 1980s, he turned to an investigation of architectural forms and most recently he has been creating dramatic paintings depicting the industrial landscape of New Jersey. Burger studied art at New York University, Columbia University and Rutgers University and was a faculty member at Kean University for forty years. During his long career, his work has been shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the National Academy of Design in New York, and the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. Locally, he has exhibited at the Morris Museum, the Newark Museum, the Montclair Art Museum, and the New Jersey State Museum.

IMPROV FOR TWEENS @ THE THEATER PROJECT

IMG_1785

Improv is great for tweens and teens! It is lots of fun and helps kids to open up and gain confidence. I will engage the class in simple ensemble building theater games and various other improv exercises. Students will build up to learning and playing short-form improv games which will eventually be performed for an audience at our end of term Improv Showcase. Get ready to think fast and laugh a lot!

Offered through The Theater Project Classroom

“Nia came out of the show last night as high as a kite! She kept talking about how fun it was, how everybody worked so well together in her group, and how she can't wait for improv to start back up! Bravo Lulu! Thanks so much for your hard work!”  - Joyce Paton, mom of Nia

“I don't know what kind of magic spell you cast, but the fact that Henry got on stage and performed is a feat no other mortal has been able to conjure out of him. He had so much fun! He's hooked on improv.” - Nancy Fitzsimmons, mom of Henry

“I didn’t realize until my son Daniel took Lulu’s class what an important skill it is to be able to do improv. Being able to think on your feet and collaborate is helpful both on the stage and in life. When I realized that Daniel was drawn to being in front of an audience, I wanted to find some way to hone his skills and channel his ability to perform. Lulu’s class was great, and I highly recommend it. Daniel loved playing the games which taught him how to think on his feet. Lulu really gets the silliness of children and is able to harness their energy into a fun class where they learn valuable skills that will benefit them during every stage in life.” - Jodi Fox, mom of Daniel

FOR WORSE
A World Premiere Comedy by Deborah Rennard, directed by Evan Bergman

After three daughters and 30 years of marriage, Peter informs his wife that he has been having an affair and has fallen in love. He assumes upon hearing this, his wife will immediately dump him. Unfortunately, she doesn't. Worse, she says she still loves him and wants to work things out, and the girlfriend, who has given Peter an ultimatum to leave his wife tonight or it's all over, doesn't appear to be sympathetic to his plight at all. A story of love, trust, friendship and betrayal - examining the question, "is old-fashioned, monogamous, committed marriage even possible anymore in today's world?"

Synopsis:
Telling the legendary tale of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table and the quest for the Holy Grail in song, Monty Python's Spamalot features "a chorus line of legless knights, men in tights (with legs), killer rabbits and sexy dancing divas! Monty Python's Spamalot is a adapted from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Like the film, it is a highly irreverent parody of the tale, but it differs from the film in many ways.

Character Breakdowns: (13 Males, 7 Females)

  • KING ARTHUR (Late 30s-60s.): The King of England who sets out on a quest to form the Knights of the Roundtable and find the Holy Grail. Great Humor. Good singer.
  • SIR ROBIN (30s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Ironically called ‘Sir Robin the Brave,’ though he couldn’t be more cowardly. Joins the Knights for the singing and dancing. Also plays GUARD 1 and BROTHER MAYNARD, a long-winded monk.
  • SIR LANCELOT (30s-40): A Knight of the Roundtable. He is fearless to a bloody fault but through a twist of fate, does discover his ‘softer side.’ This actor MUST be great with character voices and accents, as he also plays THE FRENCH TAUNTER, an arrogant, condescending, over-the-top Frenchman, the KNIGHT OF NI, an absurd, cartoonish leader of a peculiar group of Knights, and TIM THE ENCHANTER, a ghostly being with a Scottish accent.
  • PATSY (30s-40s): King Arthur’s horse and servant. Underappreciated but always longing for King Arthur’s approval. Good, funny, physical mover with some tap dancing. Also plays MAYOR, a jolly red-faced man who advertises the merits of his home town and the drunken, useless GUARD 2.
  • SIR GALAHAD (30s): A Knight of the Roundtable. Begins as Dennis, a lower class ‘mud gatherer’ who becomes Knighted and transforms into the dashing Sir Galahad. Also plays PRINCE HERBERT’S FATHER, a wealthy, brutish Yorkshireman man at odds with his sensitive son, THE BLACK KNIGHT who is always ready to duel despite multiple injuries. Strong bari tenor singing required.
  • SIR BEDEVERE (20s-40s): A Knight of the Roundtable. An inept scholar. Also plays DENNIS GALAHAD’S MOTHER, a shrill peasant woman, and CONCORDE, Sir Lancelot’s horse. No solo singing.
  • THE LADY OF THE LAKE (20s-30s ): A diva. Strong, beautiful, possesses mystical powers. The leading lady of the show. Great singing voice is essential, as she must be able to sing effortlessly in many styles and vocal registers, especially seeking actresses of all races for this role
  • HISTORIAN/NOT DEAD FRED/ PRINCE HERBERT/ MINSTREL/ FRENCH GUARD (Tenor). A tweedy academic. Also plays NOT DEAD FRED, a sickly little fellow who -- despite others' beliefs -- claims he is "not yet dead"; a FRENCH GUARD, the condemnatory sidekick to the French Taunter; a MINSTREL in Sir Robin's band; and PRINCE HERBERT, the hopeful and frilly prince who loves to sing and pines for his love atop a tower. Tenor singing required. Very good mover.

ENSEMBLE: (6 Men, 6 Women) EVERY "Ensemble" member plays at least SIX roles. The busiest principal player plays only FIVE roles.

  • MALE ENSEMBLE (6 men). Seeking strong dancers and singers to play many roles including the other Knights of the Round Table, Sir Not Appearing, Sir Bohrs, Bodies in "Not Yet Dead," the Dancing Monk, the Dancing Nun, French Citizens, Finland Citizens, a French Guard, Robin's Minstrel, and more! Strong dance skills preferred; tap skills a bonus.
  • FEMALE ENSEMBLE (6 women). Seeking strong dancers and singers to play many roles including the Camelot Girls, the Laker Girls, a French Guard, Knights of Ni, two of Robin's Minstrels, French Citizens, Finland Citizens, and more! Strong dance skills preferred, tap skills a bonus.
