I knew an exciting and potentially insurmountable challenge lay ahead. The historic Earl and Rachel Smith Strand Theatre was looking to renovate its annual spring golf fundraiser into a performance event showcasing its gorgeous spaces, including its 500-seat proscenium auditorium and a fourth-floor patio view of the Marietta Square below. Teaming up with longtime friend/collaborator and escape-room designer Jeremy Ledbetter, we presented Murder! at The Strand in April 2018, billing it an “immersive theatrical whodunit.” Have you read an interesting article about theatre recently?

The 2017 Jewish Playwriting Prize winner is being directed by Guy Ben-Aharon, director of 2016’s hit production, Oh God. Berkshire favorite Tara Franklin (Sister Play) returns to play Rabbi Michael, and Boston veteran actor Will LeBow will make his CTC debut as Joey. Tickets.

Tickets SILVERTHORNE THEATER PRESENTS SECOND SEASON SHOW,  ATHOL FUGARD’S THE ROAD TO MECCA South African playwright Athol Fugard’s The Road to Mecca, has been called “a penetrating study of the role of the artist in any society.”  Silverthorne Theater continues its exploration of the function of art with this piece that runs June 28-30 at the Hawks and Reed Performing Arts Center in Greenfield.   The Play The play is based on the true story of an aging Afrikaaner woman, Helen Martins, whose evocative sculptures transformed the yard of her house in her isolated community into “a visionary environment”, assaulting the sensibilities of her conservative Dutch Reformed neighbors and causing them to doubt her sanity. Her home became known as “The Owl House” for her frequent depictions of owls in addition to a variety of human figures. The Mecca in the title does not have a religious implication but instead reflects Miss Helen’s fascination with the eastern culture that resulted in her having the statues all facing East.   Fugard is best known for his plays dealing with the evils of apartheid, but here he brings together two social & political opposites from white South Africa who each consider themself Miss Helen’s friend and take a strong interest in her welfare according to their own conflicting views about artistic creativity & the challenges of aging. Fugard himself had a home in remote Nieu Bethesda, Miss Helen’s community, and loved the stark beauty of the Karoo desert setting. The play won the 1988 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best Foreign Play and was hailed "[T]he author's most personal play to date, an essential Rosetta stone for the entire canon." - The New York Times.   The People Silverthorne’s production is directed by Rebecca Daniels and features veteran actors Jeannine Haas as Miss Helen, Chris Devine as Pastor Marius, and Mo Mosley as Miss Helen’s young friend, Elsa.. A native of South Africa herself, Mosley speaks Afrikaans and will serve as dialect coach for the other actors.     Former NMH instructor Ted Thornton serves as dramaturg, contextualizing for the cast and audience the nature of Afrikaaner culture in the 1970s setting of the play. The Company has engaged professional designer Molly Hall to create the magical environment of Miss Helen’s home that so expresses her unique artistic gift.     Production Details Tickets for the play may be purchased online through Eventbrite.com or by calling the Silverthorne Box Office at 413-768-7514. Discounted tickets will be available as of June 1 at World Eye Bookstore in Greenfield and Broadside Books in Northampton.  Performances are scheduled for June 21, 22, 23, 28, 29, 30 at 7:30 pm with a matinee on Sunday, June 24, at 2 pm. The fourth floor space at Hawks & Reed at 289 Main St, Greenfield, is air conditioned and fully handicapped accessible. Chester Theatre Company presents Disgraced 7/5 at 2 & 8pm, 7/6 at 8pm, 7/7 at 2 & 8pm, 7/8 at 2pm, 7/12 at 2 & 8pm, 7/13 at 8pm, 7/14 at 2 & 8pm, 7/15 at 2pm Town Hall Theatre, 15 Middlefield Rd., Chester, MA “There’s a result to believing that a book written about life in a specific society fifteen hundred years ago is the word of God: You start wanting to recreate that society.” A successful corporate attorney confronts the Muslim heritage he has hidden, even from himself. This Pulitzer Prize winning play explores the prickly and often painful territory of American identity. Tickets Ko Festival of Performance presents THE RADICALIZATION PROCESS Fri. & Sat. July 6 & 7 at 8pm, Sunday July 8 at 4pm An original performance by The Hinterlands Created and Performed by Richard Newman, Liza Bielby, and Dave Sanders. Live Scoring by Richard Newman. Scenic design by Shoshanna Utchenik Archive Creation by Casey Rocheteau Publication design by Benjamin Gaydos Layering historical accounts of the radical left in the 1960’s and 70’s with a master class in American method acting, socialist pageantry, and a gleefully obtuse re-production of The Living Theatre’s Antigone, The Radicalization Process stokes the embers of America’s past revolutions to ignite our radical potential. Audiences begin the performance sifting through a basement archive of a forgotten revolutionary, navigating histories true and false, real and imagined, before they make their way into the performance space, a safe-house within a house in 1970s Detroit. Imagery unfolds both mundane and shocking; a live-score is performed on analog synthesizers and everyday objects; L’Internationale is sung; an explosion occurs. The Radicalization Process asks us to question our assumptions about what drives us to take action, how far is too far, and what role the imagination has in revolution. Also, it’s funny. Sometimes. Other times it’s really dark. But hey, that’s America! The performance was commissioned by Legion Arts, Power House Productions and Alverno Presents with generous support from the National Performance Network, the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, and the NEA Artworks program. Tickets available here. PaintBox Theatre Presents  Tarzan at the Williston Theatre in Easthampton and the Easthampton Band Shell     PaintBox Theatre—the Pioneer Valley’s theatre of imagination and improvisation for all ages—kicks off our 15th season with Tarzan! World-respected researcher Jane (Linda Tardif), assisted by an audience full of young scientists, has come to the deep, dark jungle in search of the mysterious, elusive Tarzan. Is he really the king of the jungle? Not even close. Tarzan is a friend to all of the wild beast youngsters, teaching the little ones how to swim, climb, and avoid danger. So when Tarzan wants to brag, shout, and fly through the jungle, the older ones just play along. Troy David Mercier swings in as the legendary T-Man. Callum LaFrance will not only play Tarzan’s best buddy, Cheetah the Chimp, but (with the help of the audience, of course) he’ll play a whole jungle of wild beasts, birds, and swimmy things.      You can see PaintBox Theatre’s shows at the Williston Theatre in Easthampton (air-conditioned!) and the Easthampton Band Shell. As always, PaintBox Theatre’s performances will feature lots of audience participation, artwork created by dozens of local kids, and plenty of belly laughs.     Tarzan AT-A-GLANCE Adapted and directed by Tom McCabe   Saturday & Sunday, July 7 and 8: 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. Williston Theatre Wednesday, July 11: 10:30 a.m. (Rain date Thursday, July 12) Easthampton Band Shell Locations: Williston Theatre, Williston Northampton School, 18 Payson Avenue, Easthampton, Easthampton Band Shell, 2 Ferry Street, along the Manhan Rail Trail   Description: PaintBox Theatre—the Pioneer Valley’s theatre of imagination and improvisation for all ages—kicks off the summer with Tarzan, the classic story, with a few PaintBox twists.   Tickets: Available at the door or at BrownPaperTickets.com Admission: $10.00 for single tickets.  Group Discount: 12 people or more: $7.00 per ticket  Season Tickets: $24 For more info and to make group reservations email paintboxtheatre@gmail.com Websites: www.paintboxtheatre.org   Ko Festival of Performance presents THE OVEN Fri. & Sat. July 13-14 at 8pm, Sunday July 15 at 1:30 pm Written and performed by ILAN STAVANS Directed by MATTHEW GLASSMAN Lighting by SABRINA HAMILTON After a chance meeting with a shaman in Colombia, Ilan Stavans, the highly regarded literary scholar, found himself in the Amazon rainforest. He had reluctantly agreed to participate in a religious ceremony that involved taking the hallucinogen ayahuasca. Even though he considered himself a skeptic and a rational intellectual, as someone whose worldview was defined by his education and his heritage as a Mexican Jew, Stavans found that the ritual pushed him to reconsider many of his basic understandings, including his perceptions of indigenous cultures in Latin America, as well as his career as teacher, thinker, and artist. This one-act play is delivered in the form of a lecture that mimics the author’s startling spiritual journey. Tickets available here.  Double Edge Theatre presents We The People Summer Spectacle 2018 Previews: July 13 - 14 Performances: July 18 - August 19 8pm; Weds - Sun, rain or shine We The People is a traveling rumination on finding freedom through creativity, a profound relationship with the land, and a curiosity and reverence for past generations. The audience will travel in small groups among the fields, flowers, waterways, barns, forests, and secret paths of Double Edge’s blooming, verdant Farm. Birds fly above, transforming to human form as they gently land; citizens emerge from the past to recount their stories - a farmer, a scholar, a poet, an immigrant, a suffragist, and more - a legacy of freedom shared through the vital voices of those who resisted social and political oppression; enormous creatures appear from the trees and spring up from the water; a woman’s voice is heard, her song of longing floating on the wind. History, magic, and music are woven together to create an allegorical tapestry, the audience invited to wander among these fantastical, interlaced worlds. What are the hidden territories of the land, of history, and how do they speak to us as citizens in the present moment? This summer, Double Edge attempts to articulate the beauty of the environment, uncover lost voices, and joyfully inhabit a world of wild imagination.

Happier Valley Comedy presents The Magic Behind SCRIPTED/UNSCRIPTED Int/Adv Improv Workshop with Scott Braidman & Stephanie Carlson July 14 at 2:00 PM Happier Valley Comedy Theater, 1 Mill Valley Rd, Hadley Int/Adv. Improvisers! Come learn the improv magic behind HVC's most popular show, SCRIPTED/UNSCRIPTED, from two highly experienced performers (and all-around awesome people). In this structure, an actor performs one half of a scene strictly line by line according to a script while the improviser has no idea what scene it is and gets to make it all up on the spot. SCRIPTED/UNSCRIPTED is a wild and wooly ride that can be surprisingly, magically ease-ful for improvisers. Scott Braidman leads you through an exploration of the joy and ease of holding up the improviser's unscripted half of the scene while Stephanie Carlson provides insight on the scripted actor's half of your scenes. And you'll get to improvise while Stephanie performs the scene line by line with you. You get to practice SCRIPTED/UNSCRIPTED with Stephanie Carlson! How cool is that?! Spend the afternoon getting a hands-on feel for the artistry and craft of improvising in this structure. Then you'll get to see Scott and Stephanie perform in SCRIPTED/UNSCRIPTED that night. How cool is that too?! Prerequisite: Completion of HVC's Zen of Improv 4 or the equivalent from another comedy school. More information. Ko Festival of Performance Workshop: FIRST PERSON: Crafting Your Story for Performance with GERARD STROPNICKY July 16  – 21, 2018 Come with a story. (Or two. Or three.) Leave with a performance. (Or two. Or three.) Come without a story, and by the end of Day One, you’ll discover more compelling material than you’d ever think possible. “After all,” says theatre artist Gerard Stropnicky, “people are simply wonderful walking story anthologies.” Why do some stories – some performances – spark your imagination, set fire to your soul, and leave you transformed, while others just sit there? Is it the content, or the telling? The framing, or the style? Can story be employed to bring laughter, or tears, or understanding, or lasting social change, or all of the above? Gerard Stropnicky has been working in story for twenty years. This award-winning director has helped create compelling work from interview, gathered story, letters to the editor, even advertisements, recipes and children’s games. He’s written, directed and acted in countless styles; he’s coached diverse thousands of performers, professional and not, young and old, from every walk of life, to bring their stories to vivid life. We’ll play with monologue, and help each other create scenes. We’ll experiment with styles, colors and tones. We’ll make ourselves vulnerable to our stories, and to one another. The workshop will draw on the work of the late playwright and poet Jo Carson, Stropnicky’s long-time creative partner, as well as other practitioners of Story Work, and will culminate with a showing. This on-your-feet writers and performers story intensive is designed to release the enormous potential energy already alive in you and your story. A repeat of last summer’s sold out workshop – alums welcome! All classes meet from 10 am - 4 pm on the Amherst College campus. More information.

Ko Festival of Performance Workshop: THEATRE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT with HELEN STOLTZFUS July 30  – August 4, 2018 Theatre is about what happens at the edge: the edge of what is known, what is conscious, and what is expected. In this workshop you give yourself permission to take creative risks, delve deeply into the story within you that “must be told” in order to create theatre from your deepest concerns – all in a safe and supportive setting. We will use voice work, movement, journaling, improvisation and guided fantasy to discover our personal, mythic, and ancestral stories and to shape them into solo or ensemble performances. All classes meet from 10 am - 4 pm on the Amherst College campus. More information.
