Play Readings at Ten Chimneys takes audiences back to the “Golden Age of Radio” as actors from Milwaukee Repertory Theater recreate the plays made famous by “the golden couple of Broadway,” Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. Playwright Ferenc Molnár is best known as the author of the smash hit comedy THE GUARDSMAN. Molnár’s 1926 comedy, THE PLAY’S THE THING, features an engaging cast of characters who find themselves as a literal cast of characters in this play-within-a-play, which blithely blurs the line between reality and illusion. Play Readings at Ten Chimneys are presented at the Lunt-Fontanne Program Center in Genesee Depot, WI. Admission is $15 in advance, or $20 at the door. Calls to reserve space are requested at (262) 968-4110. http://dylansaunders.net/Shakespeare-Santa-Cruz http://dylansaunders.net/following/dylansaunders.net/Shakespeare-Santa-Cruz Tue, 26 Apr 2011 05:54:19 +0000 Dylan Saunders 1356747 I am excited to announce that I will appear in the 2010 summer season at Shakespeare Santa Cruz in James Goldman’s classic, “The Lion in Winter” (also running in repertory is OTHELLO and LOVE’S LABOR’S LOST). The play stars A.C.T. and Oregon Shakespeare Festival veteran Marco Barricelli and The Old Globe's Kandis Chappell, and will be directed by Richard E.T. White. This is a bit of a dream for me, as I grew up watching Marco and Richard’s work at A.C.T. as a kid. “This quintessential drama of family strife will keep you on the edge of your seat using crackling dialogue, biting cleverness, and delivered with historical and psychological insight. James Goldman’s 'The Lion In Winter' depicts the battle between Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine as they pit sex and politics against each other to choose which of their three scheming sons will be the next heir to the British throne. Turning domestic toil into a heightened art form, the events in 'The Lion In Winter' unfold as though they take place in 21st century America, rather than 12th century Europe: insecure siblings fighting for their parents’ attention; bickering spouses who can’t stand to be together or apart; adultery and sexual experimentation; and even the struggle to balance work and family.” Tickets can be purchased online, or by phone at: 831.459.2159 THE LION IN WINTER by James Goldman directed by Richard E.T.

The story springs to life with inventive and awe-inspiring puppetry, transforming Chicago Shakespeare Theater's Courtyard Theater into a larger-than-life, European marionette stage. Carved out of wood by the lonely toymaker Geppetto, Pinocchio tumbles from one disastrous situation to another in search of adventure—only to discover that, in the end, all he really needs is an unselfish heart and the love of his father. Based on Carlo Collodi's classic tale, and featuring an original book and score by Broadway writing team Neil Bartram and Brian Hill, this world premiere musical illuminates the bond between parents and children in a magical performance that is sure to enchant audiences of all ages!
