Are you questioning whether or not you are a thespian? Maybe you have been experimenting with being a thespian, but aren’t sure if it is for you? Well here is your chance to give it a try! Anthony Smith ’11 writes in about his new play Icarus or an Angel:
Hi all!
My name’s Anthony Smith, and for my senior project, I’m directing an original play titled Icarus or an Angel that premieres in two and a half weeks, Thu-Sat Feb 17, 18, 19, at 8:00 PM.
We really, really need about three more responsible people to run crew for us. It’d be more than just boring back stage work. Because of the nature of the piece, you’d be characters in the show as well!
The commitment is minimal until the week of the show. Then it will get a bit tougher, but you’ll be really proud of the work you do! And there’ll be snacks! And it’s a great way to get involved with a production if you’ve ever been interested in getting involved with one, or if working crew is your thing and has been your calling since birth.
Email my team at absmith@wes or tminter@wes if you have any more questions or if you’d like to help out.

Yelena Sayko ’10 writes:
The Wesleyan Theater Department presents The Mystery of Irma Vep, directed by Associate Professor of Theater Cláudia Tatinge Nascimento. On a stormy night at Mandacrest estate, Lord Edgar Hillcrest and his new bride Lady Enid are haunted by the memory of the Manor’s first mistress—Irma Vep. In Charles Ludlam’s camp parody of classic Hollywood film and Victorian supernatural literature, two male actors play the British couple, bizarre servants Jane Twisden and Nicodemus Underwood, a werewolf, a mummy, a vampire, and more. With lightning-quick costume changes and razor-sharp comic timing, this wicked spoof is sure to be a howlingly funny night of theatre.

Place: ’92 Theater
Cost: $4
Subsequent performance dates:
-Friday, April 9 @ 8pm

Bennett Kirschner ’13 says:
Come see the culmination of Second Stage’s production of The Glass Menagerie. It’s sure to be quite a show, as the experimental rehearsal format has required each of the actors to rehearse the piece completely independently. After a month of individual rehearsals, they will perform the text for the first time together; some have not even seen each other since the show was first cast.
The objective of the experiment is to “give truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion” by bringing a piece of realism as close to reality as possible. Whether or not we accomplish our goal will be decided entirely on the night of the show.
Tickets will be available at the Usdan Box Office on Thursday.

Come audition for Second Stage‘s production of The Glass Menagerie: A Performance Experiment. We will be exploring Tennessee Williams’ classic through an original rehearsal format in which the actors (long story short) will not rehearse the material together until the actual performance; the objective is to “give truth in the pleasant disguise of illusion” by bringing a piece of realism as close to reality as possible. Performances will be at the ’92 on the 3rd and 4th of March, right before Spring Break.
For the auditions, feel free to drop by whenever is most convenient for you; each audition should take no longer than 5 minutes. If you are interested in auditioning but unavailable during these hours, or simply have a question about the production, please e-mail bkirschner@wesleyan.edu so that we can arrange another audition time. While prepared monologues are encouraged, excerpts from the play will be available for reading. All experience levels are welcome.
