Imagine knowing that every mouthful of food you ate could be your last. Inspired by the true story, Michelle Kholos Brooks’ Hitler’s Tasters will make its world premiere at Centenary Stage Company.

Winner of the 2017 Susan Glaspell Award, this alternately engaging and compelling play tells the story of the young women who were charged with tasting Hitler’s food so that he would not be poisoned. Three times day, every day, the young women have the opportunity “to die for their Führer.” But while they wait, like all girls throughout time, they gossip, they dream, they question and dance, until the door opens and the guard appears with each meal. 

MichelleHeadshot4Michelle Kholos Brooks’ plays have been produced and seen from coast to coast at theatres in such as the Pacific Resident Theatre, the Adirondack Theatre Festival, Wings Theatre (NYC), Laurelgrove Theatere Co. (Los Angeles), and the Vox Humana Theatre Ensemble, among many others. Her play Hostage was chosen as a finalist for the 2016/17 Woodward/Newman Drama Award, and was also a semi-finalist for Premier Stages Play Festival. Brooks earned a B.A. from Emerson College and an M.F.A. in Fiction from Otis College of Art and Design. She is a member of The Dramatists Guild of America and Pacific Resident Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. She lives in Venice, California with her husband and son.

OPUS TWO CELEBRATES LEONARD BERNSTEIN @ FARMSTEAD ARTS

OPUS TWO CELEBRATES LEONARD BERNSTEIN

WHEN: Sunday, April 8 at 2:00 pm
WHERE
: Farmstead Arts Center, 450 King George Rd., Basking Ridge
TICKETS: $15/$20/$10
farmsteadartscenter.org

Champions of American music for more than a decade, Opus Two violin-piano duo, made up of violinist William Terwilliger and pianist Andrew Cooperstock, presents a centenary celebration of Leonard Bernstein, one of America’s most popular and iconic composers.  Highlighting music from their acclaimed recordings, the program will include Sonata for Clarinet and Piano (arranged for vln/pno), Touches: Chorale, Eight Variations and Coda, and Four Moments from Candide. The program also includes Copland’s, Duo for Flute and Piano (arranged for vln/pno), and Sonata for Violin and Piano.  

Critics have recognized Opus Two for its “divine phrases, impelling rhythm, elastic ensemble, and stunning sounds,” as well as its commitment to expanding the violin-piano duo repertoire. Following their long tradition of championing the works of great American composers, Opus Two recorded works of George Gershwin that reviewers called an “excellent” recording adding that the “performers throw themselves into this fresh look at Gershwin with enthusiasm and enjoyment.” The Gershwin is the newest addition to Opus Two’s growing discography of American music which includes CDs dedicated to works by Paul Schoenfield, Aaron Copland, Lowell Liebermann and their debut recording on the Naxos label, Leonard Bernstein: Violin Sonata; Piano Trio; New Transcriptions. In celebration of Bernstein’s centennial, Cooperstock recently released Leonard Bernstein: Complete Solo Works for Piano which was praised by Arts Fuse, “if there’s an essential Leonard Bernstein at 100 album, this is the one; with excellent performances of relatively unknown music deserving to be heard.” Cooperstock serves as artistic director of the University of Colorado, Boulder’s upcoming Bernstein at 100 Festival.

Recent concerts have taken them to Colorado, Florida, Texas and Hawaii.   This past summer they returned to Germany’s Saarburg International Music Festival where they were in residence, and performed at Austria’s Classical Music Festival with concerts at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Mozart House in Vienna, the Esterhazy Palace and Haydn Conservatory in Eisenstadt where they performed Haydn’s Double Concerto.  The duo returned to the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina last spring in a much anticipated multi-media performance of their   recent commission by composer Meira Warshauer followed by performances in Honolulu and master classes at the University of Hawaii. Opus Two’s recent appearances include performances at the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, Maverick Concerts, Brevard Music Festival, the Round Top International Festival-Institute and Rocky Ridge Music Center.

Guest Review: “39 Steps” Hilarious Mystery Farce at The Barn

By Rick Busciglio (www.njfootlights.net)

The Barn Theatre of Montville, New Jersey is currently presenting the London and Broadway success that spoofs Alfred Hitchcock's first 'man-on-the run' thriller The Thirty-Nine Steps. It was adapted for the stage by Patrick Barlow and based on the 1935 film from the novel by Scottish mystery writer John Buchan (buc-in). (Above: L-R Jonathan Rudolph, Shawna Lagan,  Dann Pryce & Mark Hermann.  Photograph by Tom Schopper)

This production directed by Ron Mulligan is hilarious! It is a mix of the Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre!

This 2-time Tony® and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 100 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!  In The 39 Steps, Richard Hannay is the suave lead character in this spy thriller set in pre-World War One England and Scotland. He is leading a boring life until he meets a woman with a thick accent who says she's a spy. When he takes her home to his London flat, she is murdered. Soon, a mysterious organization is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft.

Director Mulligan has cast four talented comedy performers. The man-on-the-run Richard Hannay is played to perfection by the properly mustached Dann Pryce (he even resembles Robert Donat the star of the 1935 film). The man-on-the-run comment is no exaggeration. Pryce spends almost the entire play literally running!

No thriller is correct without a lady in distress…sadly in 39 Steps that is the attractive Shawna Lagan (right) as Annabella Schmidt (the woman with the thick accent) saved by Hannay? NO, but murdered... with him as the prime suspect. Don’t fret about Ms. Lagan…she reappears as a randy Scottish Highland farmer’s wife speaking with a proper broad Scottish ‘burr’ accent. (Note: brogue is Irish). Finally, she is the prim and proper English woman, Pamela, that Hannay meets on a train to Scotland. Little does he know that romance is to follow. Shawna Lagan nicely plays these three diverse characters with her tongue planted firmly in her cheek. She demonstrates a fine comedy sense. (Photo by Joe Gigli)

The players with the herculean task of covering all the wacky other roles..both male and female from London stage performers in tux' to Scottish inkeepers (husband and wife!) to international spies and much more are clown #1 Mark Herrmann and Clown #2 Jonathan Rudolph (a Barn vet). They are both excellent broad slap-stick performers ala John Cleese, or maybe more accurately a Marx brother! The clever use of the set, props, sound effects and sight gags in 39 Steps provides many of the belly-laughs that this fast-paced fun event delivers. (Above, left: Mark Hermann, Jonathan Rudolph & Dann Pryce. Photo by Joe Gigli)

Just what are the 39 steps? Why is Hannay on the run? How does he prove his innocence? Who is the man with the partial finger? Does he get the girl?

Sorry, you'll have to visit the Barn Theatre no later than April 8th to find out. When you do, don't blink or you will miss some of the screwball fun. The play with one intermission runs about two hours. Warning: there are several gunshots, flashing strobe lights and a man wears a kilt.

Also, note the very clever use of recorded music...all from Hitchcock thrillers. Listen also for subtle mentions of his film titles.

The excellent ringmaster (a/k/a director) of this wild, zany comedy is Ron Mulligan. His production team includes: scenic designer Lawrence Gabriel; lighting designer Cheryl Wibur; costume designer Linda Spirko; sound designer Larry Wilbur; production stage manager Craig Zimmerman; properties Marie Bogert; lighting operation Chris Reynolds; and sound operation Omar Kozarsky.

If we were to reduce our review to a few words we would turn to the old Scottish phrase, "Hoot mon, this is grrreat!"

“....Overall, the album casts a warm, clear glow, with plenty of cohesive interplay between Stryker, organist Jared Gold, drummer McClenty Hunter, and vibraphonist Steve Nelson. While influenced by many guitarists, Stryker remains true to his own vision. Wes Montgomery and Kenny Burrell may be touchstones, but Stryker forges his own sound throughout." - Martin Kasdan

10 WAYS THEATRE MAKES YOUR LIFE BETTER!

Crossroads Theatre Company

Image

The theatre has such a vibrant ability to bring words to life. It has sass, attitude, and a focus on shared humanity.

  1. Theatre is explosive. There's no energy like the energy you get when you mix live performers with a live audience.
  2. Theatre is ethereal. What happens on any given night only happens once.
  3. Theatre is mind expanding. It's a safe way to visit dangerous places.
  4. Theatre is connective. It reminds us that being human is beyond culture and time.
  5. Theatre is the original multi-media art form. It fuses movement, music, design, acting, writing, and directing into one artistic blast.
  6. Theatre is timeless. The pleasure we get from offering and receiving stories is wired into our DNA.
  7. Theatre is moveable. Great performance experiences can be staged in warehouses, basements, bars, parks, cars, beaches and elevators
  8. Theatre is reflective. Watching life on stage can influence how we see (and react to) life in the streets.
  9. Theatre is provocative. It can challenge the dominant political and cultural narratives of the day.
  10. Theater is sensual. Everyone in the room is breathing the same air. If the person beside you is laughing or crying, you see it; you hear it; you feel it.
We love how the theatre can enrich our lives. Get out and go to a theatrical play and live your best life.
