We are fortunate to have a unique opportunity to present a staged reading of John Cariani’s new play, Dark Night Bright Stars. It is a sequel to Almost, Maine. The World Premiere of the play will happen at Portland Stage Company this year or next. We are the fortunate ones to get to be the first group to do a public staged reading of the play. Here are the details: Title (Work-in-progress): DARK NIGHT BRIGHT STARS or DARK NIGHT BRIGHT STARS SMALL TOWN or DARKER THE NIGHT, BRGHTER THE STARS or IT GETS DARK HERE by John Cariani Notes for Readers from Cariani: Dark Night Bright Stars is an autobiographical and biographical collection of related short plays that will hopefully shine some light on what it’s like to grow up in rural northern Maine. Rural Americans are largely absent from contemporary American theatre, TV, and film. And when they do appear on our stages and screens, they’re not portrayed with much complexity, compassion, or dimension. I hope Dark Night Bright Stars gives some dimension the complex, compassionate people who made me who I am.

Last call for students who are interested in running a workshop for high school students What you need to do: Meet with Jessie before February 5 to write your workshop(s) description and commit to Teaching one-three workshops. If you’d like to receive credit for your workshop(s) you will be able to enroll in a variable 1-3 credit course that will begin AFTER spring break. Your class times will be arranged with Jessie one-on-one (or by group if their is a group of students who would like to teach a workshop collectively). The only thing that needs to happen next week is description writing and scheduling–the rest of the work will happen after Spring Break. I have office hours in Silver Monday & Wednesday 1-2pm–but I can arrange another time with you if this doesn’t work with your schedule. Email jmchapman@plymouth.edu if you can’t stop by during office hours. For reference the workshops are: Thu May 1   4:30-5:15 Fri May 2 9:30-10:15 Fri May 2 6-6:45 (check to make sure they don’t conflict with your classes)

Happy start to the semester! As some of you may know, we (ETC) opened The Show Must Go On this week. Max Shanteler and Samm Johnson are heading up our stage and deck management.

It runs through Sunday at The Flying Monkey. We are happy to offer discounted seats to all PSU students using the promo code: SPOTLIGHT (all caps). You can go to www.flyingmonkeynh.com to get your discounted tickets. We hope to see you there!

Many thanks to all who auditioned for Twelfth Night and Just So! It was a pleasure seeing your work and to have so many fabulous choices to cast these roles. This play is one of my favorites and I am ecstatic to get started on it with all of you! IMPORTANT: We need to meet before departing for winter break! We’ll be having essential conversation about how to approach Shakespearean text so that you can begin your text work over the break and come back fully prepared (and as close to memorized as possible) to begin rehearsal. This will be vital to our ability to put this production on its feet in a relatively short amount of time. If possible, we’ll also do a read-through I realize it’s short notice during a busy time, but PLEASE make every attempt to be there, even if it’s inconvenient. Our meetings will be Tuesday, December 3rd 6:00 – 9:00 and Thursday, December 5th 6:00 – 9:00. Please email Stage Manager Leigh Rohe (leah.rohe@plymouth.edu) by the end of the day on Novemeber 27th and either confirm that you can be there or let them know if you have absolutely unbreakable conflicts. If you’re not Read More

Fee as discussed is €2150 for the 3 weeks (accommodation, tutelage and all cultural & theatre visits). Caveat: all modules are draft at present, we would need to know what exact design (set/ costume/ lighting) attending students were and we would tailor it accordingly. (the Excel sheet schedules are available here)I know a couple of tech students have reached out to Evanna directly, are you happy for us to share this with them?A few videos here. Here is one of our adverts, and here is another short promo. Here is a lovely video of testimonials. I hope this helps the students see what a special experience this could be. All the best,  Maeve

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

Lucky Stiff Based on the novel, The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo by Michael Butterworth, Lucky Stiff is an offbeat, hilarious murder mystery farce, complete with mistaken identities, six million bucks in diamonds and a corpse in a wheelchair.

Should he succeed in passing his uncle off as alive, Harry Witherspoon stands to inherit $6,000,000. If not, the money goes to the Universal Dog Home of Brooklyn… or else his uncle’s gun-toting ex!

Dear Matt and the Legendary P.S.U. Theatre Department,  On behalf of the entire New Hampshire Educational Theatre Guild, I would like to extend our sincerest thanks and congratulations for an incredibly successful day.  To be sure, this year had increased challenges, and your staff weathered them admirably.   I can’t tell you how good it felt to walk back into the Silver Center for a day of theater education after a long hiatus.  Speaking as a teacher of attending students, my group had a fantastic day and learned a great deal that will stay with them as they take on future projects.  As always, P.S.U. set the bar high for our students and have given them a great deal to think about.  Congratulations as well on your production of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime.  A fabulous production, to be sure.  Thank you, Matt, for all of your hard work in setting this up.  We, as a board, are incredibly appreciative of your efforts.  We look forward to our continued attendance to this annual event.   We wish your department all the best for the rest of the year.  Sincerely, Scott GiesslerPresident, NHETG
