Drake 2060 (New Works Lab)
Adapted by John Schmor from Virginia Woolf
A staged reading of John Schmor's adaptation of Virigina Woolf's final novel.
Just before the outbreak of World War II, a small (maybe even claustrophobic) English town puts on its annual pageant. But the real drama is internal and interpersonal. A play about longing, desire, aging, and transformation, Between the Acts gently reminds us how making theater can help us find our way through it all.
Between the Acts has had a developmental reading at Book It Rep (Seattle). It is slated for full production in summer 2014.
FREE ADMISSION!
Featuring: Ian Short, Michelle Schroeder, Pam Decker, Max Glenn, Sarah Ware, Cece Bellomy, Jane Elliott, Brent Ries, and Brad Steinmetz.
John Schmor is Head of the Department of Theatre Arts at the University of Oregon. He has performed, directed, and collaborated on devised new works including: for the University of Oregon: This Ship of Fools, Kafka's Parables, and Anonymous; for Creative Material Group: Faust/Faustus, ReMembering Wilde, and Blue Hammer; for Hand2Mouth: Ursula K. LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness. Schmor has also adapted and directed re-made versions of Shakespeare's work including: Winters Tale, As You Like It, Romeo and Juliet, Tempest, a zombie rendition of Hamlet retitled Or Not To Be for Oregon Contemporary Theatre Company, and Love Will Shake, built out of the Sonnets. His recent directing projects include: The Clean House, Metamorphoses, Annelie in the Depths of the Night, bobrauschenbergamerica, Little Book, and Telling – an innovative performance in which military veterans and their family members stage the telling of their stories for their communities.
