Beowulf Alley Theatre Company Hosts Readers’ Theatre

 Contact: Beth Dell

(520) 622-4460 (media questions only)

email: theatre@beowulfalley.org

 

 

Tucson, Ariz. (November 25, 2008) — Beowulf Alley Theatre Company, 11 S. Sixth Ave., continues its Readers’ Theater Program on Monday, December 1, 2008 at 7:15 p.m. Admission is pay-what-you-will.

 

Fallen Soldier by David Dudley

 

tells the story of Greg, a photojournalist on assignment in an unforgiving war-zone, and Jack, the soldier who saves his life when their company is ambushed. After their escape, they find shelter in an abandoned apartment building. As they await rescue, they find themselves at war not only with the enemy, but with one another. When Jack falls victim to sniper fire, Greg is left to do battle with the most ruthless opposition imaginable: The human mind.

 

Readers’ Theatre is a stimulating event and a terrific opportunity for both playwrights and audiences. Playwrights have a chance to be heard and audiences have a chance to hear new and dynamic works being developed for the theater as well as contribute to their development by participating in discussions following the readings. Throughout each year, guided by its Artistic Development Committee, Beowulf Alley Theatre will offer a selection of thought-provoking readings to Tucsonans and visitors to Tucson.

 

Playwrights may submit proposals for the inaugural 2008-2009 season by following the instructions, online at www.beowulfalley.org, “Cast & Crew,” “Directors & Playwrights,” “Playwrights.”  Inquiries regarding participation (actors, volunteers) in the Readers’ Theatre Program may be made by e-mailing theatre@beowulfalley.org.

 

A non-profit arts organization, Beowulf Alley was founded based on dialogues with local actors who wanted a permanent home for theatre artists from the Tucson community. Today, its intimate 95-seat theatre provides a facility that meets professional standards where performing artists, educators, and technicians can develop and present their skills. Because Beowulf Alley engages a talent pool that calls Tucson “home” for its productions, the Theatre is committed to helping grow a new generation of Tucson talent with its education programs for young people. And true to its roots, the Theatre maintains ongoing dialogues with the community, including Dialogues with theatregoers after the first Sunday matinee performance of each of its season plays – an opportunity for theatregoers to discuss the plays with the director and the performing artists. Writers who cover the Tucson arts scene say the Theatre provides its audiences with “the best total package”—plays, performances, and productions that are high in artistic and technical quality.

RES PRODUCTIONS- UNLIKELY THEATRE

 

Reindeer Landing With Outrageous Holiday Joy Near You This Month

RES Productions and the Unlikely Theatre Proudly Present
The Eight Reindeer Monologues
By Jeff Goode

Directed by
Howard Allen

They're coming to Club Congress first, on November 19 and 20, and then landing at other stages all around Tucson.  Plus, they've got hilarious stories about working at the North Pole in a dysfunctional environment that makes your crazy boss look like a beginner.  Dasher (Jeff Robinson) starts with a practically military devotion to being "the leader of The Eight," and Vixen (Laine Peterson) ends the evening of hilarity with the "truth" about the National Media Scandal over rumors of sexual harassment at the Pole.  Anyone who can use a little ADULT black comedy to get over the usual conventional and commercial nonsense of the Holidays is in for major laughs. These very "human" reindeer deliver on the crazy office politics we have all experienced.  What's worse: they know the "whole truth" about poor Rudolf. 

RES Productions and the Unlikely Theatre bring you eight of the very best actors in Tucson for comedy in the style of Saturday Night Live with addition of wonderful and sometimes poignant testimony from "reindeer" who have their own stories to tell about Santa and even Mrs. Claus (at last year's office party).  All directed by the 2007 MAC award winning Best Director in Tucson, Howard Allen.

"You'll never again be so complacent about leaving the chimney unguarded at Christmas." –CurtainUp

"A tart alternative to candy-cane cheer." –N.Y. Times

Starring Steve McKee, Garrett Staab, Eric Anson, Chris Farishon, Roxanne Harley, Jeff Robinson, Laine Peterson, Alida-Wilson Gunn and Chad Collins (as Cupid in the last 4 performances).

The show opens on Wednesday, November 19
and runs through December 20, 2008. It will tour throughout all of Tucson.

See the locations below to find out when Santa's Reindeer will be landing on YOUR side of town:

 

November 21-22 @ 7:30pm: Studio Connections (9071 E. Old Spanish Trail; 85710)

 “Brilliant!” – Time Out Magazine

Critic’s Choice – Back Stage

“Exceptional!  The best holiday choice around.” – The Chicago Tribune

“Delightful and full of joy!” – Atlanta Journal-Constitution

“Fresh and inventive.  Highly recommended.”– The Chicago Sun Times

Atria’s Bell Garden Academy Hall Theatre 6653- East Carondelet Drive (NE of St. Joseph’s Medical Center). 

Turn back the clock and set the dial for a dose of Christmas nostalgia as this beloved Capra Christmas classic comes to captivating life as a live, fully-costumed staged radio show in Tucson!  Seven, savvy studio actors employ their vocal talents portraying over fifty characters in a Manhattan studio and creating on-stage Foley sound effects before a live audience to re-imagine the much-loved tale of George Bailey’s journey of self-worth—including period commercials and a fun, live musical pre-show featuring 40s Christmas vocal favorites by Waypoint regulars.

Playwright Joe Landry faithfully recreates this heart-warming Capra Christmas film by bringing everyone’s favorite characters to life in a l940s Manhattan radio studio where WBFR’s “Playhouse of the Air” is presenting a live broadcast of It’s A Wonderful Life.  Bring the whole family to this joyful new telling of the Christmas story that is delighting audiences and becoming a holiday tradition in cities across the nation. 

This will be Waypoint’s first production in their new performance venue, Atria’s Academy Hall Theatre, located at 6653 East Carondelet Drive, northeast of St. Joseph’s Medical Center, off Wilmot, north of Broadway.  It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play is directed by Waypoint artistic director, Melanie David.

Waypoint will also be holding a Silent Auction fund raiser in support of their 2008 Capital Campaign.  Silent Auction bidding began November 1 on line at the company’s website:
