WE Reduces Matinee |
WE Multimedia Theatre Group has reduced the ticket prices for Matinee performances from $15.00 to $10.00 effective with the November performance of "Miss Julie" and added an "Actors Q&A" which will be FREE TO THE PUBLIC immediately following the Sunday Matinee performances. The Audience interactive Q&A gives the audience an opportunity to speak directly with the Actors and Director about not only the play itself, but to discuss the creative process in developing the characters and bringing the play to the stage. Audience members may have the opportunity to come on stage and do a scene with the actors as well. WE Multimedia Theatre Group Director Wade Riggs stated "The reduced ticket prices I feel will allow more people to experience live theatre, perhaps some who have never had that experience before. The Q&A or "workshop" as I call it, will give the theatre audience a better insight not only into the play they just saw, but about the theatrical process itself." |

God of Carnage (originally Lay Waste To England For Me) is a play by Yasmina Reza.

However, as the evening goes on, the parents become increasingly childish, resulting in the evening devolving into chaos. The 2009 Broadway production was Directed by Matthew Warchus. The original cast included Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, James Gandolfini and Marcia Gay Harden. All four actors were nominated for Tony Awards for their performances. |

Synopsis March 30, 31 and April 1, 6, 7 - “Five Women Wearing The Same Dress” Directed by Samantha Fork Assistant Diretor: Michele Davis Play suggested by Michele Davis Synopsis June 21, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30 – “Frankie & Johnny in the Clair de Lune”
Synopsis
It focuses on two lonely, middle-aged people whose first date ends with them tumbling into bed. Johnny is certain he has found his soul mate in Frankie. She, on the other hand, is far more cautious and disinclined to jump to conclusions. As the night unfolds, they slowly begin to reveal themselves to each other as they take tentative steps towards the possible start of a new relationship. The reference to "Clair de Lune" in the title refers to a piece of music by Debussy, the third movement of the Suite bergamasque, which is a key plot element.
