Celebrity Guest Speaker This Week

Posted on by Kizer

Wednesday Sept 11th 2:30p to 3:45 Cheney Studio Theatre You might need to ask your parents, but believe me, John Davidson is a very well-known celebrity from 60s into the early 90s. He has been a talk-show host, pop-music singer, gameshow host, and actor for television, film, and Broadway. He currently lives here in New Hampshire. He is absolutely charming and pleasant to talk with. This Wednesday afternoon he will be joining us to talk in the Silver Center. I have asked him to talk with our students about what it is to work in entertainment. He was a little hesistant because his career arc was most powerful in earlier decades, but there is a ton of wisdom and good will he has to share. Please join us and make him welcome. This is a VERY rare opportunity for all of you to talk personally with someone who’s career developed alongside color television, when variety shows were the norm, and gameshows were at their very peak of popularity. If you are available during this slot, please come. This will be an informal discussion in the Cheney Studio Theatre. Take a moment and explore his background. Here are links to IMDB, Read More

War of the Worlds: The Panic Broadcast adapted by Joe Landry Directed by Jessie ChapmanOctober 12 – 14, 2023 • Hanaway TheatreAn alien invasion throws humanity into chaos in the classic sci-fi novel The War of the Worlds–but all it took to cause real-life panic in the streets was Orson Welles’s 1938 radio adaptation, which listeners took for news. Now, ten years later, the WBFR radio ensemble recreates the colorful events surrounding the infamous evening, including the full original broadcast. Complete with vintage commercials and live sound effects, this radio-play-within-a-radio-play is a thrilling homage to the form’s golden age and timely reminder of what fear can do to a society. Godspell composed by Stephen Schwartz with book by John-Michael TebelakDirected by Elizabeth DailyNovember 16 – 18, 2023 • Cheney Studio Theatre A small group of people help Jesus Christ tell different parables by using a wide variety of games, storytelling techniques and hefty doses of comic timing. An eclectic blend of songs, ranging in style from pop to vaudeville, is employed as the story of Jesus’ life dances across the stage. Dissolving hauntingly into the Last Supper and the Crucifixion, Jesus’ messages of kindness, tolerance and love come vibrantly to life. Read More

THE GAIETY SCHOOL OF ACTING

Posted on by Kizer

Three-week study abroad opportunity for Juniors and Seniors The Gaiety School is once again open for international students! This is a three-week acting program in Dublin, Ireland. It’s right on the river by Dublin Castle. This is a long-standing relationship between Plymouth State University and the Gaiety School. We typically attach this program to one of the performance courses offered in the spring semester. Students who wish to participate are expected to pay the tuition plus airfare. Tuition is approximately €1,950, which includes three weeks of housing. Most years, students are there for the first two weeks on their own and are joined by a PSU faculty member in the final days for the showcase presentation. Niki is expressing strong interest in this, and we expect a visit from an emeritus faculty member named Beth as well. 🙂 Let us know which of you are interested. Gaiety keeps space reserved for us, and we like to let them know our general plans as soon as we can.

Fall Course: Solo in a Suitcase

Posted on by Kizer

Acting course culminating in a public performance 13238 TH-4810.01 Acting III Tuesday/Thursday 12:00 – 1:15 This is the first time that this concept has been taught at Plymouth State University. Because it is an unusual concept, we want to be sure everyone who might be interested is aware. We will consider signing students in who may not have all of the prerequisites – please do inquire if you are interested! Acting 3 is the highest-level acting class offered at PSU, readying you for moving out into the professional world. Although we will do some skills work, the focus is that each student will write/create, stage and perform a short solo show, going for 20 minutes. The work on this will begin from Day 1, be deeply developed over the semester, and end with 1-2 public performances—we have tentatively secured approval to show them at the Museum for the White Mountains. Everything you need fits into a small suitcase. No special lighting, no sound effects unless you make them yourself—there will be no tech support. Just you, your body and words, creating a world with your audience. This piece can be a calling card, combined with others to tour or put up a show Read More

Theatre Season 2022-2023

Posted on by Kizer

As sometimes happens, we suddenly had to rethink directors, calendar positions, and titles.  We had a list of shows that suited the first production slot.    As always, the parameters included calendar time for rehearsals, hitting important dates (such as homecoming), time to build scenery for a given show, appropriate roles to serve current students, vocal parts, necessary creative staff, etc. “The students think we’re doing Into the Woods.”  “I know.”  “Ha ha.”  “It’s not even on the list.”  “You know, if we WERE doing into the woods, it would solve almost as many problems as this show.  Maybe more”  “Yes.”  “Actually, it would be better than this one, and this one, too.”  “Yes.  And better than this one, and maybe better than this one.”  “Hmm.”  “Maybe we should add it to the list.”  “If we end up doing it, some of them are gonna be mad.”  “Yes.”  “Ha ha.” So, to those of you who might feel misled:  Sorry.  Also: ha ha.  😀             – Kizer Into the Woodsby James Lapine and Stephen SondheimDirected by Jessie ChapmanOctober 6 – 8 (NHETG and Homecoming)Auditions in April with limited rehearsals following this spring.https://www.mtishows.com/into-the-woods The story follows a Baker and his wife, who Read More

February 24 – 26, 2022 The story that you love. The music you won’t forget. Based on the novel by Louisa May Alcott Music by Jason HowlandLyrics by Mindi DicksteinBook by Allan Knee Plymouth State is proud to present this masterful work. As a Broadway musical it opened in 2005, receiving nominations for Tony Awards, Drama Desk Awards, and the Outer Critics Circle Award. There might be no stories that resonate so deeply with women in America as that of the four March sisters living in refined scarcity in Concord, Massachusetts during the civil war. Alcott’s novel is often regarded as especially dear to young women who have grown up in the New England states. The production under development at the Silver Center for the Arts includes young women with lifelong experiences in this region. Regional Director Jessie Chapman claims Concord, Massachusetts as her birthplace. She has practiced her art throughout New Hampshire for decades. The March Sisters Danee Gosselin has been the resident costumer for Plymouth State University since 2007. She is a New Hampshire native and has made many professional contributions to regional theatre throughout the state. One of the great strengths of the Silver Center and its Read More

It includes in-depth discussion on the benefits and challenges of working on cruise ships, how each panelist got into this work, and many of the unexpected aspects of working in this industry.

The most recent schedules are listed first. Select the appropriate Ensemble for this schedule. If we have three shows in rehearsal, use this to tell us which cast this is for. The Callboard will use this to sort things out. Enter any text you like into the text field. It is just like writing an email or a blog post. More Help on this is Here.
