Welcome to the Theatre 810 blog in the new year! We hope that you had as happy, peaceful and restorative a holiday season as we did.
Acting Unlimited, Inc. resumed their Theatre Academy classes last week (tween and teen acting). It was a nice break after their end of the semester performance at the First Annual Entrances Student Theatre Festival that was held at Theatre 810 during early December. We can't wait to see what the students will present for us at the conclusion of their spring semester!
First up this week at the theatre, we've got The Stage Monkeys of Lafayette's monthly performance on Wednesday the16th at 7:30 pm. Tickets can be purchased at the door, but reservations can also be made ahead of time by calling the theatre at 484-0172. This fab troupe just applied to perform at the Chicago Improv Festival, so let's show them our support while they wait to hear back!
Meanwhile, the Helm/Gremillion production of Albee's At Home at the Zoo is in their final rehearsals, as they open next week (January 25th). Please make your reservations now for this exciting production not seen before in Lafayette. Fifty years after Albee brought us the famous one act, The Zoo Story, he returned to it, adding a prequel one act, Homelife. At Home at the Zoo is the marriage of these two great works. Please note that this play contains mature content and language and no one under the age of 17 will be admitted.
Also, please mark your calendars now for our upcoming January Readers Theatre (January 28, 7 pm). We will be reading a relatively new work, Rock of Abandon, by
playwright Stephen Blackburn. He has requested that we videotape the
reading and we will have a guided feedback/response afterward. What an
exciting opportunity for our group to participate in this incubatory
experience.
That's all for now, folks, but we will be back next week to tell you a little more about the upcoming Albee production, and give you a heads up about our other winter productions....
