Richard III Open Rehearsal – Saturday, August 15th at 7:30pm

Our friends from the Drama League in NYC have taken residence to workshop two brand-new adaptations of classic plays. And we would LOVE to share the first of them with you!

In a new twist on Richard III, director and Obie Award-winner Rory Pelsue partners with co-adapter and dramaturg Sophie Siegel-Warren to tell the twisted story through the voice and movement of four female actresses. By finding choreographic language and a small-ensemble dynamic to heighten Shakespeare’s brilliant text, we learn so much about the perspective and power of these strong women. Our cast has wide experience onstage, from Broadway to Hoosick Falls! From our first read through on Monday through this week’s rehearsals, Rory and his team are finding beautiful new ways to tell this story. Don’t you want to see this work in progress? Well you can! We are having an open house this Saturday at Hubbard Hall, in the opera house at 7:30pm. Please join us for a 20-minute demonstration of the work and a Q&A session. The whole thing should last an hour or so. Hope to see you there.
