Actor Blog- Fantasio!

It’s cold outside and you may be feeling the fatigue which accompanies returning back to work and school after winter vacation. What better way to wind down and warm up than to escape to the world of Fantasio, a play by Alfred De Musset. The script is highlighted with whimsical, French Romantic themes, and contains heartfelt prose which may melt the ice of the coldest hearts. This short, yet amusing play has captivated my mind and those of the cast and crew for the last ten weeks, and without further adieu, we are opening up our world to an audience tonight! Working on this show has been such a delight, and rehearsals with director Michael Butterworth have proved new levels of creative exploration and enjoyment.

Perhaps at a glance, this show is to be one more fairytale wrapped up in clichés and cartoon-standards, but this is not the case for Fantasio! I was enthralled upon reading the script, and realizing these character’s ethics, morals, and objectives. Musset paints a charming picture of a city where the Princess Elsbeth has been betrothed to the Prince of Mantua to avoid war and maintain peace. Musset introduces the clever and passionate persuasion of Fantasio, a gentleman who because of debts must disguise himself as the court jester to avoid his creditors. Fantasio meets the Princess in his new disguise, they fall in love, but what happens to the marriage between Elsbeth and the Prince is to be discovered in our two acts. It’s a story of sacrifice and circumstances which can be easily related to. Every now and then, because of social class or because of life commitments and circumstances, we don’t always get what we want or deserve, and that’s the honesty of life. If everyone could get married and coupled off, and if there was no sight of war or tension, well now that’s a fairy tale! Fantasio blends these ideals, presenting the truth, but reveals those tender moments in life where things are okay, even if for a fleeting period, and in those moments where circumstances and commitments disappear, that’s where life becomes appreciated for its reality, and understood to go on both happily and bittersweet ever after.

“Intimate Apparel” coming soon to Bonstelle Theatre

The Bonstelle Theatre Presents Award-Winning, Socially Relevant Theatre

Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage is a Delicate, Thoughtful Drama Immersed in History

DETROIT – The Bonstelle Theatre will present the award-winning play Intimate Apparel by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Lynn Nottage. The play that won the 2004 New York Drama Critics’ Circle and the Outer Critics Circle awards for Best Play and Best Off-Broadway Play, respectively, will run February 10 through February 19, 2012. Intimate Apparel is a delicate and thoughtful story that explores societal expectations of race and gender in the early twentieth century and one woman’s perseverance in the face of longing and betrayal.

Set in 1905 New York City, Intimate Apparel is about Esther, a 35-year-old African-American seamstress who yearns for marriage and a fulfilling future. As she provides for herself by making lingerie for upper-class white women and black prostitutes, she is able to save money to put toward her dream of opening a salon for African-American women. In her aspiration for marriage she must choose between the Hasidic shopkeeper whom she desires and the Caribbean stranger who is the acceptable choice.

Derell Jones as George and Indigo Colbert as Esther

In 2003, Lynn Nottage wrote an essay for the Los Angeles Times called “Lives Rescued From Silence,” describing her experience researching the idea that eventually became Intimate Apparel. In her fascination with African-Americans’ social lives in New York City at the turn of the twentieth century, she began doing research, but found only records of celebrity African-Americans of the time. Around the same time she found family photographs of her great-grandmother and grandmother as a baby, and wondered why their story was missing from the annals of history. In the end, she not only wrote a play inspired by the lives of her great-grandparents, but also an essay that illuminates her family history and creates an historical record of the existence of her ancestors.

Lynn Nottage received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005 and a MacArthur “Genius Grant” in 2007. She most recently won the 2009 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for her play Ruined.

The cast includes (in alphabetical order):

George Abud (Grosse Pointe, MI) as Mr. Marks, Indigo Colbert (Detoit, MI) as Esther, Mackenzie Conn (Walled Lake, MI) as Mrs. Van Buren, Derell Jones (Detroit, MI) as George, Bridgette Jordan (Southfield, MI) as Mayme and Celeste Shropshire (Detroit, MI) as Mrs. Dickson.

The production team includes:

Jesse Merz (Director), Michael Waldrup (Stage Manager), Fred Florkowski (Scenic  Designer), Anthony Karpinski (Technical Director), Clare Hungate-Hawk (Costume Designer), Thomas H. Schraeder (Lighting Designer), Michael Thomas (Sound Designer) and Alexandra Stewart (Publicity Manager).

Examiner Review of “Twelfth Night”

On the twelfth day of Christmas, the Bonstelle gives to you … Shakespeare.

Patty Nolan, Detroit Theater Examiner

‘If music be the food of love, play on!’

This famous line opens William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the second show of the season for WSU’s Bonstelle Theatre in Detroit.

Guest Director Alison C. Vesely, Co- Founder and Artistic Director of the First Folio Theatre in Chicago, uses the quote as an apt summary for this production, which is generously filled with lovely music from beginning to end. Much of this music comes courtesy of gifted senior BFA Actor Andrick Siegmund, as Feste, who performs many of the songs accompanied by his own guitar. Simple. Sweet. Effective.

Vesely directed the Hilberry Theatre’s powerful production of Richard III last season and returned to WSU and the undergraduate Bonstelle cast to help them develop the ‘folio technique.’ This approach examines the original text, spelling and punctuation for cues that help actors better represent Shakespeare’s intended delivery and meaning.

The title of the play, Twelfth Night, is a reference to the ‘Twelfth Day of Christmas’ celebrated in the famous carol.  Although the characters in Shakespeare’s play do not celebrate Christmas or the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany (the twelfth night), the play was originally written to be performed as part of these holiday festivities. Since the holiday tradition included a topsy-turvy allowance for role swapping and cross-dressing, it’s not surprising that the characters of Twelfth Night avail themselves of these stratagems.

In the play, a young woman, Viola, (played with insight and charm by Ivy Haralson) dresses up as a man to protec her maiden identity, and the servant Malvolio (hilariously rendered by Jackson McLaskey) imagines that he can woo his mistress and become a nobleman. Zaniness ensues, with inappropriate romantic overtures and the use of double entendre in the best Shakespearean manner.  Only when the truth is revealed and the proper order is restored can the story resolve in three happy weddings.

This Bonstelle cast seemed to understand the essence of Shakespeare’s comedies, which is to say, they enjoyed the lovely language and embraced the silly, ribald humor – and the audience followed suit.

The cast includes: George Abud (Grosse Pointe, MI) as Sebastian; Mackenzie Conn (Walled Lake, MI) as Fabiena; John Denyer (Dearborn, MI) as Sir Andrew; Jackie Fenton (Allen Park, MI) as a lady of the court; Ivy Haralson (Belleville, MI) as Viola; Laura Heikkinen (Livonia, MI) as Olivia; Jackson McLaskey (Mt. Clemens, MI) as Malvolio; Michael Meike (Clinton Twp, MI) as Sir Toby; Matt Miazgowicz (Dearborn, MI) as 1st Officer; Yesmeen Mikhail (Wyandotte, MI) and Bryauna Perkins (Chesterfield, MI)  as ladies of the court; Luke Rose (Harrison Township, MI) as Antonio; Kelli Marie Sarakun (Grosse Pointe, MI) as Maria; Alex Schott (White Lake, MI) as 2nd Officer; Andrick Siegmund (Pleasant Ridge, MI) as Feste; Cory Thomas (St. Clair Shores, MI) as Curio; Justin Wagner (Royal Oak, MI) as Orsino; Aaron Westlake (Saint Joseph, MO) as Sea-Captain, a priest;  Nicholas Yocum (Royal Oak, MI) as Valentine.

The production team includes: Alison Vesely (Director), Katherine Skortez (Asstistant Director), Devon Davey (Stage Manager), Mike Waldrup (Assistant Stage Manager), Rudy Schuepbach (Scenic Designer), Fred Florkowski (Technical Director), Mary Copenhagen (Costume Designer), Michael Beyers (Lighting Designer), Brian Scruggs (Lighting Mentor), Gabriel Rice (Sound Designer), Alan Devlin (Props Master) and Rebecca M. Pierce (Publicist).

Twelfth Night runs at the Bonstelle Theatre through December 11, 2011 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8:00 p.m. and Sundays at 2:00 p.m.  The Wayne State Theatre box office is open Tuesday – Saturday from 2:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. at the Hilberry Theatre. Tickets may be purchased at the door at the Bonstelle Theatre (3424 Woodward Avenue) one hour prior to performances.

“Fantasio” coming soon to the Studio Theatre

The Studio Theatre Presents Fantasio, A Masterpiece of World Theatre

DETROIT- The newly renovated Studio Theatre continues its season with Fantasio by Alfred de Musset, playing January 19 through January 28, 2012. This romance is considered to be a masterpiece of dramatic world literature. Director Michael Butterworth describes Fantasio as a “fairytale for grown-ups.” Written in the 18^th century, the play dramatizes the clash between one’s responsibility to society and the responsibility to one’s self. Tickets are $10-$12 and are available by calling (313) 577-2972, by visiting www.wsustudio.com or by stopping at the Wayne State University Theatres Box Office at 4743 Cass Avenue on the corner of Hancock.

Fantasio is a story of sacrifice and circumstance, illustrated by Princess Elsbeth’s ambiguous endeavor for happiness. In order for her kingdom to avoid war, she has been betrothed to the Prince of Mantua. Although the Princess is reluctant and unwilling, the fate of her kingdom is at stake. Fantasio, a gentleman deeply in debt, dresses up as the deceased court jester to hide from his creditors. When, disguised as the jester, he meets the Princess, falls in love, and tries to thwart the marriage. Although this production of de Mussett’s play is relatively brief, its poignant story stays with audiences long after the actors deliver their final lines.

Alfred de Musset was a well-known French playwright, novelist and poet. Many consider his plays to be his best work, yet most were never intended for stage performance; they were known as “armchair drama.” Fantasio was never staged during de Musset’s lifetime and wasn’t performed with its original text until the early decades of the twentiethcentury. Set in the eighteenth century, this pre-modern play takes place in the Romantic era. Though unfamiliar to most American audiences, it has since become a classic of the French theatre.

Butterworth hopes audiences will be intrigued and entertained by this little-known playwright’s unique and fairly unconventional devices. Unlike the Studio’s usual repertoire, the show highlights a large 12-person cast, as well as a period set production. “I’ve loved this play for a long time and the Studio Theatre is the perfect place to stage this production,” says Butterworth. “I love this venue’s intimate and somewhat quirky character.”

The cast includes (in alphabetical order)

Maggie Beson (Riverview, MI) as Flamel the page and Serving girl, Ethan Brenningen (Dexter, MI) as Tailor, Elizabeth “Zee” Bricker (Detroit, MI) as Princess Elsbeth, Kristin Dawn-Dumas (Detroit, MI) as Spark, Nancy Florkowski (Redford MI) as Governess, Robert J. Hammond (Troy, MI) as Fantasio, Sarah Kline (Royal Oak, MI) as Queen of Bavaria, Matthew Kurtz (Detroit, MI) as The Prince of Mantua, Doug Lubaway (Wyandotte, MI) as Hartman, Daniel Miller (Harper Woods, MI) as Rutten, Anthony Scamihorn (Marshall, MI) as Facio and Stuart Sturton (Harper Woods, MI) as Marinoni.

The production team includes

Michael Butterworth (Director), Rosa Hernandez (Stage Manager), Lois Bendlar (Scenic Designer and Property Master), Anne Suchyta (Costume Designer), Gabriel Rice (Lighting Designer), and Patrick Pozezinski (Publicist).

Kelli the Actor- Blog #3

We are nearing the end of our 4^th week of Twelfth Night rehearsals, and it’s been quite a journey up until this point. It seems like just yesterday that we all sat down in a big circle of tables for our very first read-through. I will admit that, for me, Shakespeare’s First Folio terminology was a little bit intimidating at first! But now, we are well into rehearsals and have just surpassed our off-book date! Time really does fly, doesn’t it?

Kelli Marie Sarakun rehearsing "Twelfth Night" as Maria

Shakespeare has created such a magical world within Twelfth Night. Some of us have read, studied and performed Shakespeare before, while others haven’t cracked a Shakes play since high school English class. One would think that this would make rehearsing particularly difficult, but actually, it hasn’t seemed to be much of a problem so far. I personally have only read a few of Shakespeare’s works, so at the time of casting, Twelfth Night was completely new to me. It’s so remarkable how quickly we can make a play our own, though. I really do feel like I’m in a family with this cast, and the wonderful playful spirit that we have toward the play is what makes the rehearsal process one of utmost adventure.

My favorite parts of the show are the intermittent musical numbers. Andrick (Feste) and Mackenzie (Fabiana) take turns strumming the guitar while the rest of us join in with group numbers and solos. Our songs travel through a large range of emotions. Some are light, joyful and even drunken, while others carry a heavier, more desperate tone. My favorite song is definitely “Catch This.” During this song, the characters of Feste, Maria, Toby, Andrew and Fabiana, otherwise known as the “clowns” of the play, are dancing freely around the room and indulging in a blissfully drunken state. I love the title of this song, because it makes each of our solos feel like a ball that is spontaneously being tossed to the other characters of the scene. It really is a lot of fun!  And as our very own Duke Orsino says, “If music be the food of love, play on!”

“Trouble in Mind” on Broadway

As Broadway exposure grows for black women writers, ‘Trouble in Mind’ resonates

By Peter Marks, Published: October 19, Washington Post

View original article here.

The versatile Chicago and Washington actress E. Faye Butler recounted a call she received to audition in New York for a British stage version of “Gone With the Wind.” “Faye, there’s a famous director and he really wants to see you for it,” she recalls her agent telling her. Intrigued — how often does London beckon? — she asked to be sent the “sides,” the portions of the script with which she’d have to audition.

“All I got was a description: ‘African-American woman sits on porch with handkerchief on head and sings a spiritual.’ I said, ‘You want me to take an Acela train to New York City and go into an audition with a rag on my head and moan and groan and sing a spiritual?’” She laughs, but not because the memory is funny. “I was absolutely furious,” she says. “Hadn’t we gotten past that kind of thing? I got past it long ago.”

The question of how evolved the performing arts are for black women — even in this presumably enlightened era of gender and racial identity — is posed anew by an old play in which Butler is appearing at the moment at Arena Stage. It is a play from the 1950s by another black woman, Alice Childress, who faced her own formidable obstacles in an industry unwilling at the time to yield her total control over her cold-eyed portrait of the subtle forms of racism she observed in the entertainment business.

Childress’s acclaimed “Trouble in Mind” — an exceptional production that runs through Sunday in Arena’s Kreeger Theater — never made it all the way to Broadway; in a foreword to the published version of the 1955 play, the dramatist is quoted as saying that the show’s producers “had me rewrite for two years” but that she declined to provide “the heartwarming little story” they desired. She kept to her vision of the drama, the tale of a first rehearsal of a bad if well-intentioned Southern play, in which the black actors, eager for employment, were forced to play humiliating stereotypes.

The bittersweet irony of Arena’s production, beautifully realized by director Irene Lewis and her interracial cast, is not just that “Trouble in Mind” is getting the supple treatment that an underappreciated classic deserves. It also materializes at a time of seemingly unprecedented exposure for black female playwrights on Broadway.

This season, for apparently the first time, the American theater’s most visible platform will host as many as four distinct works written or adapted by African American women. Already running is the Martin Luther King Jr. play “The Mountaintop,” by the young playwright Katori Hall, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Angela Bassett. Next month comes “Stick Fly,” Lydia R. Diamond’s upper-middle-class family drama, featuring Dule Hill, Mekhi Phifer and Tracie Thoms with music by Alicia Keys. December sees a new edition of the Gershwins-DuBose Heyward opera “Porgy and Bess,” with a revised book by Pulitzer winner Suzan-Lori Parks (“Topdog /Underdog”). And angling for a theater this spring is “By the Way, Meet Vera Stark,” by another Pulitzer recipient, Lynn Nottage (“Ruined”).

“Twelfth Night”- Coming Soon to the Bonstelle Theatre

Role Reversal and Chaos in Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night at the Bonstelle Theatre

Celebrate the Holidays with Shakespeare

DETROIT – On December 2, 2011 the Bonstelle Theatre in Detroit will open its second show of the season, William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. The Bonstelle Theatre has presented three prior productions of Twelfth Night throughout its 61-year history, but this production is lead by Guest Director Alison C. Vesely, Co- Founder and Artistic Director of the First Folio Theatre in Chicago.  The play runs December 2, 2011 through December 11, 2011 on Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.

Vesely uses a line from the play to sum up the production: “If music be the food of love, play on!”  Twelfth Night is a comedy, filled with strong musical elements, love and mischief. The title of the play, Twelfth Night, is a reference to the twelfth night after Christmas Day, called the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany. It was originally a Pagan celebration turned Christian holiday, but had become a day of revelry at the time Shakespeare wrote the play. On Twelfth Night, servants often dressed up as their masters, men dressed as women, and so forth. This history of festive ritual and masquerading role reversal is the cultural origin of the confusion that Shakespeare incorporates in this play. It was originally written as a twelfth night’s entertainment for the close of the Christmas season in the early 1600’s.

Ivy Haralson, Justin Wagner, Laura Heikkinen, George Abud

The most notable element from Twelfth Night festivities incorporated in the play is the confusion of gender and social roles. In the play, a woman, Viola, dresses up as a man, and a servant, Malvolio, imagines that he can become a nobleman. Twelfth Night celebrations symbolized the world turning upside down. On this day, the king and all those who were high in society would become the peasants, and vice versa. Rules governing gender roles and social rank were temporarily suspended for masquerades, games and plays.

The play opens with Viola and her twin brother, Sebastian, shipwrecked on the shores of the Adriatic city of Illyria. Viola, dressed as a man and thinking Sebastian is dead, becomes the Duke Orsino’s page. Viola is then used as an intermediary in the Duke’s wooing of the Countess Olivia. “I am all the daughters of my father’s house and all the brothers too,” states Viola as her alter-ego, Cesario. Mistaken identity and conspiracy lead to all sorts of comedic woes as everyone woos the wrong person.

The cast includes (in alphabetical order):

George Abud (Grosse Pointe, MI) as Sebastian; Mackenzie Conn (Walled Lake, MI) as Fabiena; John Denyer (Dearborn, MI) as Sir Andrew; Jackie Fenton (Allen Park, MI) as a lady of the court; Ivy Haralson (Belleville, MI) as Viola; Laura Heikkinen (Livonia, MI) as Olivia; Jackson McLaskey (Mt.
