A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM Comes To KVPAC 5/8-5/9
by Reynard Loki - April 24, 2009
Next weekend KVPAC will raise the proverbial bar a little higher when Company presents Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Directed by newcomer Claudia McCotter and Assistant Directed by Jill Manser, this comedic tale is the first play by William Shakespeare to be produced by KVPAC. 'This particular play is actually one of the best and most commonly used plays to introduce young actors to the works of Shakespeare,' says Ms. McCotter. 'Although it has a complex comedic plot, the subtext behind the language isn't as mature in nature or as difficult to grasp as the language of some of his other works. It also provides a setting and characters that really appeal to children and teenagers: an enchanted forest, feuding fairies, a troupe of bumbling actors, star-crossed lovers, and a royal court.' Ms. McCotter also noted, 'At first my students were very unsure of themselves as they began performing Shakespeare for the first time. This has been an exciting journey for all of us, and the kids are learning to decipher the language, understand the characters' needs, and are having a great time!'

Photo Flash: Mauritius At The Alley Theater, TX
by Gabrielle Sierra - April 17, 2009
Theresa Rebeck (creator of the Alley's success The Scene and Bad Dates) returns to the Alley with Mauritius. The title, Mauritius, refers to an island off the coast of Africa from which a now highly collectible stamp, described as 'the crown jewel of philately,' was issued in the age of Victoria. Like the Maltese Falcon, the Mauritius stamp is the fraught object of desire for an assortment of shady characters with different and mysterious backgrounds and motives, who move through the twists of the plot's crosses and double-crosses. Recommended for mature audiences.
