Capital Repertory Theatre 2023-24 TYA Season

For well over a decade, Capital Repertory Theatre’s TYA On-The Go! in-School touring productions have been presented in a variety of schools and environments throughout the Capital Region to very diverse audiences. Actors should enjoy performing for and interacting with young audiences (middle and high school students). There are post-show discussions after every performance (time permitting).

SHAKESPEARE: THE REMIX

by Aaron Jafferis and Gihieh Lee

Directed by Margaret E. Hall

One of the REP’s most popular On-The-Go! shows, “Shakespeare: the Remix” compares the power of language found in Shakespeare’s work with that of early hip-hop and slam poetry. Shayla, a hip teenage girl who unplugs the ghost light in her school’s theatre, tackles some of the most famous characters in Shakespeare’s written works when she finds herself ‘face to face’ with the ghost of the Bard himself. A verbal battle ensues where in Shayla and William both take on Elizabethan text and modern-day slam poetry. Students will experience bits from “Hamlet,” “Macbeth,” and “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Be among the first to experience the newest play to join the REP’s On-The-Go! tours. Henry Johnson has a street named for him in Albany, but why? The WWI soldier proved his bravery on the battlefield with the all-Black NY National Guard 369th Infantry Regiment. He led a victory parade through the streets of NYC upon his return but was scarred in body and spirit by the toils of war. For decades Johnson was denied his due from the United States military. Playwright Rachel Lynett, with historical and dramaturgical research by Skidmore professor Eunice Ferreira, bring Henry Johnson to life with text and music from the Jazz and Ragtime era and more – and as seen through the eyes of students living in 2023 doing a group history project. Discover how the fight to recognize a real hero was finally won when Henry Johnson posthumously received the Medal of Honor from President Barak Obama in 2015.
