Valley of the Moon presents Hallucinate

Valley of the Moon presents

Hallucinate

In honor of Mental Health Awareness month Valley of the Moon presents Hallucinate, a deeply personal tale of early-onset schizophrenia. Hallucinate was written and directed by a Valley of the Moon volunteer who started hallucinating at 16 and was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 17. This show is a reflection of his personal experience with the disease.

Valley of the Moon has been a center for mental health since first opening in 1932. The first sign at Valley of the Moon declared: Valley of the Moon, Tucson's Picture in the Third Dimension and Mental Health Center. We have always been a place of acceptance and healing. After the writer/director of this show was diagnosed with schizophrenia Valley of the Moon was one of the few places of safety for him and has remained an important part of his wellness to this day (7 years later).

Hallucinate is a walking theatrical production through Valley of the Moon. It is the story of Sam, a high school sophomore who starts experiencing hallucinations, as told by her doctor as she struggles with the disease. This deeply impactful show shares insight into the experience of schizophrenia. Our goal is to promote mental health awareness, decrease stigma around mental illness, and encourage people who need help to seek it.

Due to the nature of the material we STRONGLY recommend ages 13 and up for this event.

DATES: May 12 and 13
TIME: Three performances each day: 6, 7 and 8 p.m.
COST: FREE, thanks to the support of Cenpatico Integrated Care.
TICKETS: Click here to reserve tickets in advance. Same day tickets available at the gate after 5:30.

A Performance by the Pastime Players That Celebrates Ability!

Presented by the Invisible Theatre

Featuring Pastime Students from Doolen Middle School

DATE:            Monday, May 8, 2017

TIME:             7:00 p.m.

PLACE:         Doolen Middle School

2400 N. Country Club Rd. Tucson, AZ 85716

INFO:             Call (520) 882-9721 for information.
Tickets are not needed for this event.

(April 26, 2017, Tucson AZ); The Invisible Theatre's Pastime Players, an award-winning, multi­disciplinary arts education program for mentally and physically challenged students, started as a workshop in 1984 and has grown into a national prototype of innovative arts education programming that focuses on ability rather than disability. Funded in part by Foundation Cariňoso and The David C. and Lura M. Lovell Foundation, Project Pastime exemplifies the concept that when artists, teachers, administrators, funding agents, students and parents come together as a community – we really can make a difference.

The Pastime Players will present "THE ME INSIDE OF ME"
on Monday, May 8, 2017, at 7:00 p.m. at Doolen Middle School.


 

THE ME INSIDE OF ME

THE ME INSIDE OF ME is an original musical that is presented each spring marking the culmination of the students' year-long instruction in music, drama and dance. Conceived and created by Invisible Theatre's Managing Artistic Director Susan Claassen, Project Pastime is directed by Susan Claassen with associate director Gail Fitzhugh, musical director Rob Boone and choreographer Kathryn Byrnes. The project is centered at Doolen Middle School in the Tucson Unified School District. The Pastime Players receive instruction twice a week from local artists of the Invisible Theatre. While some components of THE ME INSIDE OF ME are repeated in each production, the framework is flexible and allows for individual ensemble members to have their special talents spotlighted. This year's production will feature Shakespeare, The Pizza Song and excerpts from Annie.

In addition to school performances, the touring group of Project Pastime has performed at the American Association of School Administrators Conference in Orlando, Florida in 2001. Throughout Arizona, they've appeared in such diverse venues as the state legislature, Raytheon Corporation, The City of Hope's National Spirit of Life dinner, the Senior Olympics opening ceremonies, the National Association for Handicapped Riders national conference, an art reception at the Flux Gallery in Plaza Palomino and at the 2013 Gem Show for the National Chinese Jewelry Association. Pastime Players were also honored at the 2002 Volunteers of the Year Awards when they received the Southwest Gas Corporation's "Right from the Start for Children" Award. The award winning documentary, Such Good Friends, chronicling the Pastime Players, premiered at The Loft Cinema on April 26, 2009.

A promotional video of Project Pastime is available. Photo and interview opportunities can be arranged by contacting Alayna Voutsas at Invisible Theatre – (520) 884-0672.

TUCSON'S FIRST AND LONGEST RUNNING

IMPROV COMEDY TROUPE TURNS 15!

 

Come One! Come All!

 

On May 6th Unscrewed Theater celebrates Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed's 15th birthday with a special "super sized" show.  It includes the current cast as well as many alumni cast members!  Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed (NBOJU) has been a mainstay of Tucson's comedy scene since 2002. Cast members perform for the shear love of entertaining people with their amazing short form improv comedy shows. 

 

In addition to the fantastic improv show, the merriment includes the unique Caribbean sounds of Apocalypso (pankids.com and facebook.com/pankids), the Food Truck Roundup offering affordable and delicious local culinary delights, and, of course, there will be birthday cake!

 

Unscrewed Theater's Executive Director and longtime NBOJU troupe member, Chris Seidman, stated "For more than a dozen years NBOJU literally took its show on the road.  We went to where the people gathered.  We traveled throughout Southern Arizona to bring improv comedy and laughter to kids of all ages.  Now, as we celebrate our 15th year, we are so pleased that we have a permanent home where Tusconans can gather and laugh in our theater".

 

In 2013, Mayor Jonathon Rothchild described NBOJU as "Tucson's best kept secret".

 

Now in 2017 the cat is out of the bag! Thousands of audience members have enjoyed NBOJU's unique brand of improv comedy in the Unscrewed Theater located at 3244 E. Speedway Blvd. At just $5 a show, it's the best comedy value in all of Southern Arizona!

 

The festivities begin at ??? and the curtain rises at 7:30 PM to honor NBOJU's 15 years of performing and laughter!

 

Unscrewed Theater is a community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its mission is to teach, perform and produce all forms of live improvisational theater. Unscrewed Theater is a solely volunteer-led and managed community theater.

ST. FRANCIS THEATRE — AUDITIONS FOR FALL PRODUCTION OF “LUNA GALE"

 

From: St. Francis Tickets [mailto:stfrancistickets@gmail.com]
Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2017 12:56 PM
Subject: ST. FRANCIS THEATRE — AUDITIONS FOR FALL PRODUCTION OF "LUNA GALE"

 

The Los Angeles Times has called Rebecca Gilman's Luna Gale a "grimly rich study of the fight to protect a child," and one of 2014's "most valuable additions to American drama."  The child is the infant Luna Gale, born to drug-addicted parents and caught up in a familial, religious and social struggle over who should raise her and with what values.

 

The play, which has been produced across the country, will make its Arizona debut at St. Francis Theatre, October 13-29, 2017.

 

The St. Francis run of this play will be high level: competitive stipends for actors; professional quality set design and production values; extensive publicity and promotion; and the use of an excellent dedicated theater space for both performance and rehearsals.  Director Mark Klugheit's last production, Yasmina Reza's God of Carnage, received four MAC AWARD nominations ("Best of Tucson Theater") including two for Best Actor and one for Best Director.

 

Auditions are Saturday, May 6 from 11 am to 3 pm and Monday, May 8 from 6 to 9 pm, at St. Francis in the Foothills Church, NW corner of River and Swan Roads, Tucson.  Auditions on May 6 will be in rooms 30/31 (look for signs) and on May 8 in the Community Center.  Actors may attend both audition sessions, or either one.  Callbacks, if necessary, will be Saturday, May 13 at 11:00 am.

 

There are seven roles available, all with dramatic significance: 2 for women playing 40-early 50s; 2 for women playing late teens-early 20s; 2 for men playing mid-30s-mid 50s; and 1 for a man playing early-mid 20s.  Rehearsals will begin August 19.

 

Auditioners should arrive at the beginning of the scheduled audition period and be prepared to remain long enough to read multiple sides and different roles in various groupings. Sides will be available in hard copy at the auditions but also will be supplied electronically approximately one week in advance to those who have requested them from the director.  

 

If auditioning, please bring with you (hard copy) a head shot, CV, and a written list of all conflicts between August 19 and October 29.

 

Those considering auditioning should feel free to email director Mark Klugheit (mklugheit@comcast.net) with any questions.  There is no need to email a second time if you have already requested sides.
