Summer is upon us and it means another summer to train in Alaska with amazing teachers. This year, we will also be workshoping new plays at the same time as the training.
From the Juneau Empire:
[box] Hot “Tin Roof” heads to Anchorage April 11If you missed the Juneau run of Perseverance Theatre’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and you’re planning on being in Anchorage in April, I highly recommend you catch the production at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts. This is a standout show, anchored by riveting performances on the part of the cast, particularly major players Enrique Bravo as Brick, Elizabeth M. Kelly as Maggie, and Herbert Siguenza as Big Daddy. The show, directed by Robert Barry Fleming, opens in Anchorage April 11 and runs through April 27.[/box]
“If you’re among the Daily News readers who gets a grin from the daily “Bliss” panel on the comics page, you’ll probably enjoy “God of Carnage” mightily. The Tony Award-winning play, now being presented at Sydney Laurence Theatre by Perseverance Theatre, brims with acid wit and sarcastic insight as playwright Yasmina Reza peels away the veneer of social convention to assert her key point: People are beasts.”
