Persians Mania Hits the Journal Sentinel

Sunday, October 12th, 2008

When you’re a small theatre company, sometimes it’s difficult to achieve the status of being “news.”  I mean, how does Aeschylus compete with the election or the financial crisis for the front page?  Well, today we made the front page…of Cue that is.  So check out Damien’s Jaques’ article about The Persians, and while you’re at it read his review.

I think what you read will inspire you to see this production.   The Persians is a rare opportunity…don’t miss it!

Ahhhhh Greek Out! Le Greek C’est Chic

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

For the past three weeks, I have had the extreme good fortune of working
with Director, Angela Iannone, on THE PERSIANS.  I’ve been choreographing the
stage movement for the Chorus comprising six talented actors. They are a
band of brothers, an ensemble of excellence, a fraternity of fine actors, a
body of brawn, a pack of pranksters, a cluster of clowns, a team of teasers,
and a ton of fun! I don’t want to name any names but the ringleader’s
initials are James Fletcher. Who knew working on a chest beating, blood
smearing, tear squeezing Greek tragedy would be such a gas!
