Three teams of actors, directors and playwrights, along with a talented technical team, have been in workshops over the last six weeks preparing three new plays for your enjoyment. Now they are ready to be presented on the Beowulf Alley Theatre stage.
Writing a play is a solitary process. There is a story to tell. Each character must be developed. What is the setting? How is it all connected? All of this comes from the playwright's mind as words are applied to the paper. The story is read and re-read, facts are checked, new ideas pop up and pages are re-written until the playwright is confident that the work has merit and meaning on the PAGE.
For each of our three playwrights, we have brought a team of actors and a director together to see the plays through different eyes, new thoughts, and new interpretations arise as they breathe life into the playwright's work. For several days a week, actors have been on STAGE, working with the director and playwright, page-by-page, scene-by-scene, to develop more clarity and understanding of the themes. The playwrights have returned to rehearsals with a new set of pages, new or modified words on the page to refine thoughts and more clearly convey their stories. And now, it is time to put the PAGE ON THE STAGE!
Please join us over the next three weeks to experience full, black-box productions of three diverse plays by three local playwrights, John Vornholt, Gavin Kayner and Jonathan Northover. We'll ask you for your feedback. We'll discuss your thoughts, ideas, interpretations and perceptions and you'll have the opportunity to play a role in the making of a play that someday could be seen on stages locally, regionally, on Broadway or London's West End - or maybe - on Beowulf Alley's stage in the near future.
