Improvised Shakespeare Company to Play ImprovBoston, 2/17
by Diana Heisroth
- Jan 31, 2014
ImprovBoston and the Chicago-based nationally acclaimed Improvised Shakespeare Company join forces for one night only to create a fully improvised, fully comedic Shakespearean masterpiece. Starting from a single audience suggestion, the Company uses Shakespeare's themes and language to bring an unforgettable evening of off-the-cuff comedy. Nothing has been planned out, rehearsed, or written. All of the dialogue is spoken for the first (and last) time, the characters are created on spot, and nobody - not even the actors themselves - know where the show is headed. The night could reveal a tragedy, comedy, or history. Each play is completely improvised; each play is entirely new.

by BWW News Desk
- Jan 31, 2014
Berkeley Repertory Theatre announces the world premiere of The House that will not Stand, a historical comedic drama commissioned from award-winning poet-playwright and Oakland native Marcus Gardley. Sensuous, witty, heartbreaking, and uplifting - The House that will not Stand unearths a story about free women of color in 1836 New Orleans, where black Creole women entered into common-law marriages with affluent white men. When her wealthy lover mysteriously dies, Beartrice Albans' foundation of security hangs precariously by a thread. She is left to fend for her three unwed daughters in a world where freedom must be carefully negotiated. Told in a rich and lyrical river of words, this new play was developed through The Ground Floor: Berkeley Rep's Center for the Creation and Development of New Work. It's helmed by Patricia McGregor, whose many credits include the celebrated production of Spunk at California Shakespeare Theater. The House that will not Stand begins previews on Berkeley Rep's intimate Thrust Stage today, January 31, opens on Wednesday, February 5 and runs through Sunday, March 16, 2014.
