Wow, Lafayette! Thank you so much for coming out to support the UL student production of Proof! We had full houses with lovely, receptive audiences. So lucky for us and for our next generation of theatre artisans!
As far a performances go, we are taking a breather this week, before heading into FIVE STRAIGHT WEEKS of performances for the Lafayette community! AUI's Dracula will continue to rehearse in both Space 806 and Theatre 810, and The Tea Sippers' Theatre Company will also be rehearsing in Space 806 from time to time. Their show, Seventy Scenes of Halloween by Jeffrey M. Jones opens October 18th. The Tea Sippers are a teen run theatre company in Lafayette and they produce, direct and design all of their own productions; supporting their work is vital to building a vibrant, relevant arts community. Mark your calendars now, arts lovers!
In other news, Theatre 810 is also working on a myriad of new events and projects that we will be announcing over the coming weeks. One monthly event that we will start to host is the 810 Readers Theatre. What is "readers theatre?"
Once a month, anyone interested will meet at 810 and read a play
together. We will divvy up the parts when we get there, and there will
be scripts available for those who don't already have a copy (you may
have to share with a neighbor, but that's part of the fun!) There will be plenty of time afterward to discuss and interpret the play, too. Theatre artists, avid readers, supportive community members - come one, come all! Our first monthly gathering will be Monday, November 12 and our first play is Lanford Wilson's The Rimers of Eldritch, so dig out your copy now if you already have one!
We will have more information soon about that and more...as well as updates regarding our next five weeks of productions! Gotta run for now, but stay tuned to our Facebook page and keep going to shows!
