Phillips, whose directing credits at SUSC include The Cherry Orchard, Twelfth Night, A Dolls House, and most recently, The Lion in Winter, is setting Tartuffe in the 1670s. Im using the Richard Wilbur translation, he said, "because he seems to have captured the essence of the heroic couplets, the rhymed patterns of Moliere, better than anyone play and playwright, Phillips said. The free lectures will be held on both March 2 and 8 at 7 p.m. in Auditorium 108, the classroom adjacent to the SUSC Auditorium. Moliere is poking fun at the hypocrisy of religion, and this play is considered by many to be his best because of the characterization of Tartuffe, the hypocrite, Phillips said. Daniel McVey, a sophomore, will perform in his first main-stag- e role, cast as Tartuffe. Kristina Fuller portrays the lead Dorine. Fuller was most recently seen as Cherubino in the SUSC opera The Marriage of Figaro. Freshmen Julianne Crofts and Bernie Miller have been cast as the lovers Mariane and Valere. Other cast members include: Phil Shelburne, Tami Massa, Steve Saffier, Kristen Catherall, Monty Green, Varlo Davenport, Anne Marie Jacobsen, Tom Robinson, Kenneth Larsen and Darrell Phillips. Tickets for Tartuffe are available weekdays from 1 to 5 p.m. at the SUSC Box Office, 586-787- 6. else. Even though the play takes place over 300 years ago, its very much a play about 20th century man. I want the audience to laugh at things said and done on the stage, recognize the absurdity for what it is, then realize theyve done the very same things, the director said. Tartuffe is a comedy and the use of bright colors, both in costumes and lighting, will be used to reinforce that fact. The play will be both very presentational and physical, with a raked or sloped stage built over the orchestra pit to bring the action right down to the audience. Sarah Solberg, an assistant professor of English at SUSC, is the plays dramaturge. Dr. this teaches in play Solberg her introduction to drama class, and shes helped the actors to interpret the literary line of the play and has consented to talk to our theatre audience about the Drama students have numerous callbacks Four SUSC technical theatre arts students far surpassed the average number of graduate school callbacks in competition in the University Resident Theatre Association this month. According to Fred Adams, professor of theatre arts, David McMurtrie received 15 offers, Mitzi McKay recieved 11, Jon Waters 12, and Todd Ross 10. Adams said that the national average is six. The University Resident Theatre Association is an organization of graduate schools, conservatories, and major theatre organizations across the nation. URTA provides many services including its audition program in which the SUSC students participated. URTA conducts screening processes, known as regional auditions, where graduating seniors from universities all through the U.S. and Canada can participate if they are selected by their department. Judges attend these competitions and see from 200 to 300 students. From these students they are able to fill quotas for the national competitions, but only the top qualifiers are allowed to go on. The national competitions are held in three places New York City, Chicago, and Long Beach, Calif. At the nationals, the actor is allowed a certain amount of time to perform and is seen by 50 to 60 graduate schools. Callbacks may result; those who are interested in the actor have him come to their room or area and interview him, and tell him what he can expect from their school. After the actor decides what school he is interested in, he then sends a letter of interest, and the school may make him an offer such as payment of assistantship, scholarship, grant or other enticement to come to that school. for the Adams said that a probable rea-o- n success of SUSC students is bee? Theyre well trained, and I mean that with great puffed-u- p training, personal pride, because they get hands-o- n training, he said. I dont know how well our actors will do, March 1,2, and 3, But I will be surprised if Parry Stewart has fewer that 16 (call ceive a dozen, backs). Pat Posada will probabl Mark Seedig will also do well. I ' bie Caliva will hell be one of be in technical design, and I thii the highest. -- |
