This is the first play adaptation of the classic novel and cult film. Benjamin's got excellent grades, very proud parents and, since he helped Mrs. Robinson with her zipper, a fine future behind him. A cult novel, a classic film, a quintessential hit of the 1960s. Now Benjamin's disastrous sexual odyssey is brought vividly to life in this world stage production.

Susan Abrams was a teenager when she first saw the 1967 movie, "The Graduate," now considered a cult film. Later when she read the book it's based upon, she liked the story better than the award-winning movie. She's been thinking about that story - in all of its forms - quite a lot lately in her rol...TomorrowSPECIAL ARIEL AUDITIONS ANNOUNCED.

Congratulations to Emilia Getzenger who has been chosen for the Director Internship for our Summer production of The Tempest.
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE TEMPEST
"My concept for our production of The Tempest centers around the early 19th century European circus style. The idea of the '3 Ring circus' coincides with the theme of Prospero, as the 'ringmaster', controlling the events that make up the plot of the play. Each ring represents a different sub plot. One is delineated for the courting of Prospero's daughter, Miranda, to Ferdinand. Another ring is set for Caliban's carousing of the two clowns, Stephano and Trinculo to usurp Prospero. The third ring is for the Royal shipwrecked crew and the development of the vicious plot devised between Antonio and Sebastian. The technical aspects of the show will reflect this concept with circus colors, footlights, circus character costumes and sound effects. I was also inspired by Shakespeare scholars' musings over Prospero being autobiographical to the author and his idea of creating characters and plots in all his plays as Prospero does in the play. Scholars have also postulated that since this was one of Shakespeare's last plays, it may have been written to be a sort of swan song for the Bard; in my concept, the Ringmaster's last circus."

This concept sounds fantastic! I started reading the tempest once a year. Some years I enjoyed it so much I bought my teen kids copies to read along. Other years I dreaded it. It was painful and harsh. The 3 ring idea makes so much sense.
This sounds fascinating!
Hey, Robin, I'll see you at auditions and I hope to give you my best shot...
