Black Artists Showcase and Kuumba Market with Special Guests


"AN ACT OF GOD" UPDATES HER COMMANDMENTS

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

Paige Davis makes a very mod God in ATC's current production.

 

Arizona Theatre Company's 50th anniversary season is perking along quite nicely. After avoiding the guillotine last summer because of a $2 million shortfall, ATC opened right on schedule last month with the very popular royal fantasy “King Charles III.”

Now the company brings us the bright and bouncy comedy “An Act of God” by TV writer David Javerbaum (“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart”.)

Relax, Christian conservatives. Everything will be fine. It's true that the more relaxed liberals in ATC's audience will get a few more laughs out of this, but offending the faithful is not Javerbaum's objective. He has never written a line for the joyfully offensive and long-running television series “South Park.”

And ATC's decision to cast a woman, Paige Davis, to play God isn't a statement of gender power. Technically, the script says God has chosen to be revealed in the person of Paige Davis.

This implies God could have chosen to appear as either gender. Productions in New York and Los Angeles cast white men as God's image on Earth.

The main schtick is that God is upset over the way her ten commandments have been misinterpreted and manipulated by latter-day moralizers. It turns out she wrote a lot more commandments, too. There was never supposed to be just ten.

Most of the show is God's re-interpretation of the original 10 and discussion of the new ones she wants installed.

ATC cast African-American Max Lawrence as the archangel Michael. God in the image of Paige Davis is also assisted by another famous angel, Gabriel (James Gleason). These two, God says, are her wing men.

If there is any deeper message in “An Act of God” it is to suggest people lighten up in their own personal judgment of the LGBTQ community. God does reveal that before there was Adam and Eve, there was Adam and Steve.

An all-white and heavenly stage design by Lauren Helpern sets the tone for God's return in the Earth-like form of Paige Davis, who is also clad in white and looking very chic.

It seems that God has a much hipper attitude than we suspected. She sounds pretty savvy about show business, too, and is particularly interested in today's celebrities. Not surprising, God is also a big fan of “Godspell” and “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.”

So here's the take-away. “An Act of God” is an amusing evening of comedy intended to entertain rather than to shock or startle. And if you still aren't sure about going, remember that it only lasts 85 minutes.

If a ball game is more your kind of live theater, but your companion will insist you attend at least one play this season, you won't have an easier time of it than “An Act of God.”

Performances continue at various times, Tuesdays through Sundays, to Nov. 12 at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. Tickets are $41-$68. For details and reservations, arizonatheatre.org or 622-2823.

 

TIME HAS CHANGED THIS "AMERICAN BUFFALO"

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

 

 

Amazingly enough, another relatively new and completely under-the-radar theater company – Speak the Speech Theatre -- has popped up to open a full-bore and perpetually accelerating production of David Mamet's angry “American Buffalo.”

Written early in Mamet's career, first presented in 1975 Chicago, “American Buffalo” has been generally received as a damning story of three damaged men who never got a bite of the apple promised to every white male just for being born in America.

However, cast member Ken Beider (also the STST's executive director) sees it a little differently. He recently told the Arizona Daily Star the play is “an absurdist comedy.”

And as for the cast of three rumpled and ragged characters desperate to make some real money, Beider sees them “more as the three stooges.”

I'm inclined to go along with Beider on this. Mamet is so famous for his manly characters who talk straight with no charm or discretion, that many playwrights and screen writers have tried to do the same. After enduring a couple of decades of that in-your-face dialogue, it becomes rather tedious – like that infamous Chinese water torture.

With Dan Reichel as director, this production of “American Buffalo” is played so over-the-top you can't help but be amused at the cluelessness of Donnie (Don Cline), young Bobby (Marcus Gallegos) and Walter “Teach” Cole (Beider).

Donnie and the dim-witted Bobbie do develop something of a father-son relationship, in that Donnie feels a genuine sense of concern for Bobbie, who also realizes subconsciously that his street life needs a safe harbor somewhere and Donnie is his best bet.

In the dialogue there is no explanation how Teach got his nickname, but I like to think Teach was probably a high school shop teacher who lost his job when state funding for public education kept getting cut.

Beider keeps the energy meter pegged from start to finish on his role, throwing all of himself into every gesture and expression.

The plot, basically, begins when these three discover that a buffalo nickle can be worth $90. And there is a coin shop just around the corner from Donnie's second-hand place of business.

But that $90 is not for just any buffalo nickle. It has to be the right buffalo nickle, with exactly the right markings.

What are those markings? Well, none of these guys are sure. But Donnie has a book that describes all rare coins, so it's probably in there. Although Donnie warns his friends the book is just a general guide.

When Bobbie says he thinks the coin shop owner will be gone for the weekend, Donnie starts thinking they could slip into the coin shop late at night and steal that buffalo nickle.

Teach learns of their plan and wants in on the action. In fact, he wants to cut Bobbie out of the action and Act One is just getting under way. The harder this trio tries to figure out a plan to steal that coin, the more difficult it becomes.

“American Buffalo” runs through Nov. 6, with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays-Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays, at the Community Playhouse, 1881 N. Oracle Road.

Tickets are $18 in advance, $20 at the door; $15 seniors, military and students. For details and reservations, visit www.ststheatre.org or call Paul Brunelle, 520-904-8054.

Live Theatre Workshop's Etcetera Series presents "REASONS: THE HOUSE BURNED DOWN" 

By Diana Lynn Small
Directed by Gretchen Dingman Wirges


Tiffany has a medical condition that makes her smile ALL the time, which makes it difficult for her to communicate her emotions regarding the loss of her home and family due to a fire. Her ex-boyfriend, a contractor, and a blind alcoholic each force Tiffany to deal with how her condition affects her interactions with the world around her.


This play is part of a nationwide game of telephone. It will be the fourth production of the play in which the producing company receives only a video of the previous production and is given the task of creating a work that is original yet keeps the intent and message of the piece intact. This production will be the final piece in Joyelle Bell's PhD dissertation.

Saturday November 5, 10:30PM
Sunday November 6, 9:30PM


Tickets: $10

Sonoran Strange fundraiser for Borderlands Theater coming soon!

 
(Save the date November 19th 7:00pm)

Sonoran Strange is a label, a description, a manner of understanding the Arizona - Mexico borderlands. Sonoran Strange is a book of poems by Logan Dirtyverbs Phillips, and a performance piece by Verbobala Spoken Video, created and performed by  Adam Cooper-Terán and Phillips.

 

Sonoran Strange incorporates bilingual spoken word, multiple projections of live video mixing and performance art. After debuting in Tucson in 2013, the piece has been remixed multiple times and has been presented by Dance Mission (San Francisco), the National Hispanic Cultural Center (Albuquerque), the Hopi Cultural Center (Second Mesa, AZ), Arizona State University, and the University of Rostock, Germany. 

 

What if the Catalina Mountains outside Tucson dreamed of one day jumping the border of horizon, to follow their dreams of becoming thunderheads? What if the Apaches had won? What if the saguaros were sent to boarding school in Pennsylvania? What if the snowbirds don't come home to roost, if the tumbleweeds decide to settle down? What if sand shoots from the sprinklers? What if the water runs out?

When the house is at rest, Clara goes downstairs to check on her beloved doll. In the shadows, Uncle Drosselmeyer casts a spell over the Nutcracker Doll, as the Mouse King attacks. On rescuing Clara from the Mouse King, the doll turns into the Nutcracker Prince. He takes Clara on a magical journey through the Land of the Snow, to the Land of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy honors the couple with sweet entertainment from around the world.
