HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Important Message from Casey!

!!TOMORROW!!

Joe Wilson Jr, Trinity Company Member and theater activist will be coming to talk to us about his experiences as an understudy for Denzel Washington in “The Iceman Cometh” on Broadway. 

Meet in The Little Theater tomorrow (Halloween) at noon. 

!We need to have a decent turn out to show that our students are engaged and invested in the professional field!

There are a number of guests who are theater arts practitioners coming to talk, teach, and share their knowledge. Joe is the first. 

So. Don’t miss out! Spread the word! Come in costume, or come as you are. Joe is an incredibly successful artist and we are super lucky to have him come to talk with us. Plus—now is your chance to find out what Denzel is like behind the scenes...

Tech 091

Hello Technical Theatre majors!!

Here are the two mandatory meeting dates for 091 this semester:

- Wednesday, October 24th at 1pm (in tech classroom as part of first TTG meeting)
          Chris and Alan will be showing their resumes and portfolios and offering tips headed into the end of semester meetings.

- Monday, December 17th starting at 10am
          All tech majors should email Nicki (nfrechette@ric.edu) to set up an individual 10-minute time slot. Freshman should come with rough drafts of the resume and upper classmen should prepare drafts of their portfolios.

A few important things!

FILM CLASS NEEDS THTR STUDENTS!

This is an unusual request--but hey, we're unusual. A Film class is studying what early film-going experiences was like  -- namely, the Nickelodeon. 

What Is Happening:  The Film class is setting up and showing short films from 1908 in the Little Theater on November 29 from 6-8pm. This means setting up a canvas screen across the proscenium 'arch' of the Little Theatre, setting up wooden chairs, 'selling tickets for a nickel' at the entrance way, screening the shows, and showcasing little acts between the screenings--in essence, creating as close to an accurate environment of the original showings as possible as.

What They Need from Us: They need roughly 6 actors (3 men,3 women) to help create this environment: one person to "sell tickets"; one person to pretend to play the piano (as the scoring to the silent movies they're showing -- you would be just miming playing the piano); other people to perform acts between the short films. (In the past, in order to give the projector a chance to cool down between screenings, people from the community would get up and read a poem, sing a song, make a political speech, etc., etc. These acts would be completely scripted by the Film students -- you do not need to memorize them at all.) Costumes are provided.

What "Rehearsals" Would Be: The Film students would love to meet with you by Halloween -- just to meet up and say hello and talk about what they're preparing. Then there is a brief, 2-hour rehearsal (if that) on Thursday, November 15th. The Performance is on Thursday, November 29th.

This is a low-stress, easy gig--minimal prep and this class really needs our help. 

Also -- it is a great opportunity for our two departments to start working with and getting to know each other!

Please let Casey Seymour Kim (casey.seymourkim@gmail.com) know if you are interested. 

SECOND:

Joe Wilson, Jr. is coming to talk to our theater students about his experiences as an understudy for The Iceman Cometh (ahem, with Denzel Washington) on Broadway! He'll be visiting us on Wednesday, October 24, at 12:15, as part of the
Theater Org meeting. In the Little Theater. 

Joe is a big presence in the local theater scene, but is also a big presence in the national regional theater scene, for his work combining community engagement and activism with theater projects. In this vein, he will also talk about America,Too, which is a project Trinity Theater is hosting as a way to address different issues regarding homelessness in RI and the US.  

Be there or Be Square!

THIRD:

America, Too: Trinity Rep is hosting an impromptu theater event called "America, Too" on Monday, October 22. Here is the link: https://www.trinityrep.com/shows/other-productions/america-too-2018/

This is a theater event that was begun as a national artistic response to the shooting of Trayvon Martin and other young black men (the event was called "Every 28 Hours"). The project has continued as an opportunity to use theater to address and engage with topics that are of social, political, and economic concern. 

This year, the issue being addressed is Homelessness and affordable Housing. Different local playwrights will be writing short, 5-10 minute plays that address the issue in some form. Interested performers will show up to Trinity at 5pm; plays will be cast quickly, then rehearsed, then presented to the community at 7pm. No preparation is needed. 

If you are interested in participating as an actor, email Rebecca Noon at rnoon@trinityrep.com and go to Trinity Rep downtown (201 Washington
Street, Providence 02903) at 5pm. If you just want to attend the show, go to the theater around 6pm to get a seat.

It is an exciting and inspiring event. Trinity has gained national attention for its participating and development of this project -- another reason to be proud of Little Rhode Island!
