THE PLAY
At the heart of the story are Edward and Maya, two young revolutionaries from different classes and backgrounds, whose love for each other is undying, but who are pulled apart by their ideologies. Themes of the play include: loss, revolution, and power.
Other characters include, but aren’t limited to: the Dictator, Julietta (a socialite and kingmaker), the key power holders in the nation, revolutionaries, and more. We’ll expand or contract the character count based on the ensemble size.
The central image of the show is a “cabaret in hell”, in which the musicians narrate the story we see on stage. So there are going to be live musicians and opportunities to play instruments or sing for anyone with those talents.
THE REHEARSALS
We are rehearsing Wednesdays and Thursdays, 10:00 – 17:00, with frequency of rehearsals increasing as we approach the performance dates. We are asking for people who can commit to most of these rehearsal days.
PRODUCTION WEEK
Production week runs Monday, August 10 to Friday August 14. Aside from our usual Wednesday and Thursday daytime calls, we will be working on adding more rehearsal times (other days and maybe evenings) that week so that performers can work alongside technicians and set cues, etc.
THE PERFORMANCES
(These are tentative dates, since we don’t know the running time of the show yet. The odd times are to accommodate livestream viewers in North America.)
Friday, Aug 14 @ 21:00
Saturday, Aug 15 @ 15:00 & 19:00
Sunday, August 16 @ 11:00 & 15:00
