TORCH SONGS

Inspired by the 1940s, Shadowbox Live's newest Stage 2 production, Torch Songs, reminds us all that the bygone era of film noir and sophistication hasn't completely disappeared. The evening begins with Snow Angel by Lewis J. Carlino, a one act play telling the tragic story of a man trying to recreate a past he can't leave behind. Monologues, dramatic shorts, and an array of heartfelt love songs round out the production, making Torch Songs a touching and unforgettable Wednesday night.

DP Theatre Presents:
Lincoln's Shorts One-Acts


Nkomode Performance Arts Theater

Thursday & Friday @ 7:00 p.m.


Three directors, five 10-minute plays and great actors are all what were needed to give the Lincoln Community School a night of laughter, fun and suspense.  DP Theatre has created a new program called Lincoln’s Shorts, an evening of one acts, which should serve as an additional tradition to other talented shows at LCS.

The ten minute plays Wedding Story, Bloody Mary, Fugue, Downtown and Murder By Midnight, which were directed by Aparajita Mehra, Rita Hingorani and Max Becker, were performed on the 8th and 9th March at 7:00 pm on the Nkomode Performance Arts Theater (NPAT) stage. They included great themes such as comedy, thriller and satire, which gave the audience an evening of unforgettable entertainment.

The stories of two partially amputated strangers, Joe and Mary, who bond together through the weirdest and saddest circumstance (Bloody Mary), three little girls who share their death experiences with the audience in the form of ghosts (Fugue), wannabe celebrities who are actually waitresses (Downtown), a catastrophically narrated fairy tale of the perfect bride and groom who fortunately or unfortunately get exposed at the end (Wedding Story), and last but not least detective Dick Piston who solves the murder case of an adulteress’s husband in his own unique way (Murder By Midnight) – worked well in making the performances interesting and enjoyable throughout the evening.

The audience’s response to each play was unique. If they were not roaring with laughter, they were silent in suspense waiting for the next scary or unpredictable act to occur.  Production elements such as the sound effects in the Wedding Story, Downtown and Murder by Midnight partially contributed in giving the audience the respective mood for each play. Furthermore, thanks to the high school students, who volunteered in making this a success by casting for the plays, Lincoln’s Shorts one acts has officially been launched and hopefully next year’s will be much better. Although it was amazing and fun, hopefully next year’s won’t be as stressful as this year’s!

Hello my name is Daniel Shelden and I am currently a Theatre Major at Idaho State University. I am looking to be part of a talent/variety show fundraiser for the three performing arts clubs on campus. The three clubs are: APO (acting) USITT (technical) and Danson (Dance.) As far as pricing is concerned we are charging $5 per person and expecting at the very most 100 people.

Department of Performing & Visual Arts


The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Department of Performing and Visual Arts-Theatre and the Pioneer Players conclude their theater season with a One Act Festival Every major in UWP's theater program is required to take a directing class as part of their skill development and production experience. As an upper level course, the directing class encourages students to incorporate the skills and knowledge they have acquired from previous classes in acting, design, play analysis, theater history and dramatic literature. In the class, students focus on learning how to communicate with designers by developing a concept envisioning the visual world of the play. They also learn how to guide and translate their ideas effectively to actors and compose imaginative, evocative stage pictures. Murder by Midnight

My name is John Maddaloni. I'm an Acting Major at Adelphi University on Long Island and I'm directing a scene this semester for class and I chose Murder by Midnight. My production is taking place in a small venue, but I'm going to arrange it as though it is in a movie cinema. I'm going to have "Admit One" tickets on the seats and popcorn for everybody so that they can feel as though they're sitting in a theatre watching a film noir piece. I'm in the process of composing all the music for the show and if you'd like I could send it to you via e-mail once I've finished. It's jazzy with a hint of mystery and fun (as I like to describe it). My biggest challenge is to have the entire show in black and white with different shades of gray in the furniture, walls, desk, even the actors will be in gray makeup so as to fit the style.

Entering its 46th year, this is the oldest program of its kind in the state of Texas. The workshop consists of two weeks of concentrated instruction in acting, voice and movement, or scenery, costumes, make-up, sound, lighting and stage management for high school students at Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches.

Offered in its popular long-standing format, the workshop will be headed this year by Shari Watterston Ellsworth and directed by faculty; high school theatre teachers; advanced SFA students who have interned at the Guthrie Theater, Arizona Theatre Company, Dallas Children's Theater or Rose Bruford College in England; and SFA theatre students working toward their teacher certification.

Recreational activities such as movie night, theme parties and dances will be held during the workshop.

Fifty students will wrap up a two-week theatre workshop at Stephen F. Austin State University today in the first of three one-act plays scheduled through Friday, Shari Ellsworth said.

"The acting students perform in three different productions, which include a period and style piece, a 10-minute play and a one-act play. This program is an exciting adventure for all who attend, and we have a number of students who return throughout high school and often become students at SFA and continue to work in this workshop."

I am doing a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity. This fundraiser is held on the foundation of one of our houses being built. We pe five ten minute plays with all the proceeds going to the cost of the foundation. Your play "Murder by Midnight" was one of the selection made to be used for this event. I was wondering what you charge for the right to perform this piece. Thank you Matt Davis

The 10 minute plays were Samuel M. Post's "Nice Name for a Sky", David Ives' "Variations on the Death of Trotsky", Robert Anderson's "I'm Herbert", Jeff Goode's "Murder By Midnight" and a piece called "Young at Heart" by a local student. It was great fun to do, very well-received and helped raise money for a very worthy cause.

KHS offers evening of the arts

By AUSTIN KING
news2@kilgorenewsherald.com

It's no secret there are many talented young artists in Kilgore Independent School District Schools.

On Thursday, Kilgore High School musical, theater and art organizations will work in unison at Forest Home Baptist Church.

"I don't know of any other East Texas school district that does something like this," said KHS orchestra director Tristan Roberts. "This is the first time we've done this that I know of."

Roberts coordinated with his fellow KHS art directors to make the evening of fine arts a reality.

"I'm all about building relationships," Roberts said. "If Kilgore can coordinate all of our fine arts, we can give our students more opportunities to perform and build better relationships in the community. It'll be entertaining, I guarantee."

KHS choir, orchestra and band will provide an assortment of musical numbers, while theater students will give performances and MC the event and the work of art students will be on display.

"This is going to be huge," Roberts said. "It's great that we're doing it this year, and we want to make it better next year."

Each organization of the collaboration has been at work in the past weeks preparing for the night. In total, Roberts estimated that about 130 students will participate in the evening.

"We'll be doing 'Carol of the Bells,' 'Angels in the Bleak Midwinter' and 'Mistletoes'," said KHS choir director Karla Parmelee. "We also have one solo. We've been working on the first piece since September. We have a really good group this year."

Roberts also noted that interim superintendent Dennis Williams will narrate "'Twas the Night Before Christmas."

"We've got several tunes," Roberts said. "The step orchestra will do a symphony arrangement and a Christmas carol. Our chamber and symphony orchestra will also play several tunes."

"We'll play a few pieces of music, everything we'll play is a Christmas tune, and we'll also play in the finale at the end," said KHS assistant band director Chris Murray.

A number of theater students have been at work putting together their acts to go alongside the musical performances.

"We're doing a number of things," said Keith Proctor, theater and arts teacher. "We have two students, Reese Black and Justin Farmer, as the masters of ceremonies."

Other acts include Tori Whitwell's "Platypus" monologue, Black and Reid McDonald's "Who's On First" skit, Farmer's " Murder by Midnight" monologue, Maddie Bingham's solo vocalist performance, Whitwell and McDonald will sing "No Matter What" from "Beauty and the Beast" and Phillip Frazier and Farmer will finish with an improvisational skit.

In addition to helping coordinate the event with art students, art teacher Holly Ernst has designed the programs for the evening. The hard work of KHS art students will be on display, and in some cases up for grabs.

"We're going to have a silent auction with the students' art," Ernst said. "The proceeds will go to the art club and the church."

The KHS Evening with the Arts event is set for 7 p.m. Thursday at Forest Home Baptist Church in Kilgore. The church's capacity is 1,100, and it is advised that those who wish to attend show up early.

"We want to graciously thank Forest Home for coordinating with us and providing this venue," Roberts said.
