MELODRAMA TWIST ON A PIXAR FAVORITE: "TOY TALES"

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

The “Toy Story” series of computer animated films from Pixar gets re-toasted in the new Great American Playhouse production “Toy Tales: A Western Saga” now playing in Oro Valley.

Starting with a traditional melodrama plot, the villainous and flatulence-prone Stinky Pete (Nick Seivert) along with his sidekick One-Eyed Bart – whose costume resembles Mr. Potato Head – are planning to take over the Old West settlement of Catalina Gulch. Then writer/director/actor Sean MacArthur stirs in many other characters reminiscent of the “Toy Story” community.

While there isn't a lot of logic to any of this, when has logic ever been essential to cheer-the-hero-and-boo-the-villain melodrama? Just go with it, and grab another handful of free popcorn.

This is an opportunity for audience participation, that's what everyone loves.

Plus it's fun to see all the get-ups Barbie gets to wear representing all of her professions, starting with Cowgirl Barbie, and her declaration that “it's fantastic to be plastic.”

Also playing significant roles are the sunny cowgirl Jessie, pragmatic Bo Peep, reluctant Rex the tyrannosaurus, good-natured GI Joe and Bob the builder.

Holding down the main roles are Rusty the cowboy and Buck Universe (MacArthur), a space ranger. All the show's roles are double-cast except Stinky and Buck.

While melodrama music is heavily dependent on familiar melodies which have more topical lyrics, many of the songs in this show aren't plucked from a list of greatest hits. They are little known and don't generate much energy.

Even the old Jefferson Starship boast “We Built This City on Rock 'n' Roll” didn't take over the stage. Maybe the presentation of these songs will get stronger as the run continues.

Much more successful is the robot with actor chops, Zorg, who towers over the cast and speaks with a voice worthy of the Book of Revelations. Him we can believe.

So we wend our way through the plot where, basically, Stinky Pete and One-Eyed Bart plan to blow open the Lucky Charms mine and take over the whole town of Catalina Gulch (don't worry, the ending is always happy at GAP). At the same time we have a true “Toy Story” type conflict between old-fashioned Rusty and high-tech Buck Universe.

Just like in the movies, there are a couple of times where humans unexpectedly come on the scene. All the “toys” instantly stop what they are doing and collapse like rag dolls. These scenes work very well on the theater stage.

In keeping with this old west theme, the after-show segment is a “Rootin' Tootin' Hi-Falutin' Country Western Olio” with songs everybody's been singing all their lives.

Celebrated on stage are songs from such familiar names as Homer and Jethro, Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn, a trio of tearful ladies singing “Your Cheatin' Heart” and Michael Claridge belting out “The Wabash Cannonball.”

“Toy Tales: A Western Saga” continues through June 6 at the Great American Playhouse, 13005 N. Oracle Road, at Rancho Vistoso Blvd. Performances are 7 p.m. Thursdays, 6 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 3 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $18.50 with discounts, $8.50 children 12 and under.

Set in a beauty parlor in Chinquapin, Louisiana, Steel Magnolias illustrates how the lives of six distinctly different women interweave via the small town gossip that shadows the unending cycle of birth, marriage and death. Filled with hilarious Southern repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play draws on the town's underlying strength—and love—which gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and marvelously amiable company in good times and in bad.

The draft standards will be used to revise current standards for dance, media arts, music, theatre, and visual arts.

Arizona Theatre Company's Summer on Stage Program

The students of today become the artists of tomorrow

Summer on Stage & Summer Backstage: TUCSON

“Theatre has made me so much more open. Your skill sets improve so much, and you start to see the world with new eyes.”
- Laura Leader, Summer on Stage participant 2012-2013

Who

Arizona Theatre Company’s Learning & Education team offer an ever-evolving Summer on Stage program, resident in Tucson for over a decade. ATC staff and local teaching artists work alongside college interns to inspire, engage, and empower our high school student participants as they navigate the steps toward becoming confident and visionary artists of tomorrow.

 

Our doors are open: anyone can participate.  An audition is not necessary to be a part of Summer on Stage, nor is performance experience required; passion and curiosity are the only prerequisites to success. Full and partial tuition scholarships are available through a transparent process to make certain all those who wish to participate can do so, regardless of cost.

 

What

Summer on Stage: Tucson is a five-week intensive theatre-training program that unleashes creativity and connects participants to their full potential. Over a few short weeks, the program bonds a disparate group of young people through a collaborative experience that instills within them a work ethic that is carried out into their wider community. It is extraordinary, meaningful and life-changing.

 

ATC staff and professional teaching artists selected by ATC guide our students through a variety of skill-based theatre classes that serve as the foundation to prepare them for a creative and engaged life in the arts and beyond, and culminating in fully-realized productions presented on the Arizona Theatre Company mainstage at the Temple of Music and Art.. We place an emphasis on process over product and articulate success through engagement, learning and growth.

 

Summer Backstage

Participants in the technical theatre training program are mentored by ATC staff and guest artists in hands-on workshop sessions that prepare them to assist in the creation and implementation of our scenic, lighting, sound, properties, and costume designs. The five-week experience for our Summer Backstage students culminates in their delivery of our shows as the technical crew for full productions at the Temple of Music and Art. Our Backstage students return to their schools with rigorous technical and creative practice, as ambassadors for their art form and as teachers of best practice to their own theatrical communities.

 

Why

“Summer on Stage has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in my life thus far. The people you work with are wonderful and the amount of knowledge that I’ve taken from the program is tremendous. I highly recommend it for people who are willing to work hard with what they love.”

 – Jalon Jackson

 

“[SOS] gave me more confidence. If I can be confident on stage, I can be confident in front of anybody…This program changed my life. I loved it so much! The people are amazing. You learn so much and improve tremendously. It’s so fun that your summer goes by too quickly.”

– Taylor Schlicht

 

Details

Where & When

Classes and rehearsals take place in studio classrooms at the University of Arizona’s School of Theatre, Film & Television. Technical workshops take place at ATC’s facilities in downtown Tucson. Productions are performed at the Temple of Music and Art.

More Info >>

The quintessential backstage musical comedy classic, 42nd Street is the song and dance fable of Broadway with an American Dream story and includes some of the greatest songs ever written, such as “We’re In The Money,” “Lullaby of Broadway,” “Shuffle Off To Buffalo,” “Dames,” “I Only Have Eyes For You” and of course “42nd Street.” Based on a novel by Bradford Ropes and Busby Berkeley’s 1933 movie, 42nd Street tells the story of a starry-eyed young dancer named Peggy Sawyer who leaves her Allentown home and comes to New York to audition for the new Broadway musical Pretty Lady . When the star breaks her ankle, Peggy takes over and becomes a star. With a book by Michael Stewart and Mark Bramble, music by Harry Warren and lyrics by Al Dubin, this sparkling new production will be directed by co-author Mark Bramble and choreographed by Randy Skinner, the team who staged the 2001 Tony Award®-winning Best Musical Revival.
