Good Saturday at The Magnetic Field

This Saturday (which was technically Holy Saturday), I spent some time down at The Magnetic Field and saw some wonderful theatre. I spent all night there and I would highly recommend both shows that I saw there.

The Evolution of Woman

A series of short plays by Lucia Del Vecchio, it was a delightful evening. The acting was wonderful, the sets were simple and really effective, and the writing kept me very engaged. It only has one more weekend, (and no Sunday shows) so if this piques your interest, time is counting down!

Mezzo The Happy Medium (A Haunted Comedy)

I wasn’t expecting to see this, but I stuck around for the late show after “The Evolution of Woman” and was very glad I did. I didn’t know what I was going to see, but it was a really incredible show with amazing acting and a lot of pathos. Go see it! Also one more weekend.

Also, if you’re reading this today, and you don’t have anything to do tonight, check out “8′ The Play in Asheville.” I wish I could go, but I have rehearsal for my Senior Recital tonight. So go and tell me how it is! (Gavin Creel!)

Double Errors: A Comedy of Falsehood

So yes, a little remiss on my side of things for not posting lately, and I do apologize. But you see, I’ve been rehearsing a show and it’s running now!

Oh, you mean I should have told you that?

Well, I just did!

Alright fine. I’ll hit myself with a whip and sing Sondheim’s “Mea Culpa”  later. But first I want to tell you about the show I’m in. It’s the first mainstage show of the Montford Park Player’s summer season and boy is it a doozy! It’s a Double Feature of “The Comedy of Errors” and “Double Falsehood.” “Errors” is of course the well known Shakespeare play, and “Falsehood” is of course the very obscure Fakespeare* play.

*A Fakespeare is a play of dubious quality which “scholars” have “decided” is a part of “Shakespeare’s” “canon.” Plays that were based on plays by Shakespeare tend to fall into this category.

This show is a blast to perform.  It’s kind of teetering on the edge of being a musical. In a Bollywood sort of way. And we grab our balls while wearing bling. You kind of just have to see it.   I play various parts in “Errors” and the wronged lover Julio in “Falsehood.” It runs Fri/Sat/Sunday nights in June, and it’s free! Details are here.
