IT’S A DEAL!!

Posted on May 15, 2013 by webmaster

SOLDThe day has arrived and we are that much closer to our new location!

Yesterday, we received a commitment from Phoenixville Federal for a $105,000 mortgage.

We’re almost there!  Inspections need to be finished and some paperwork and then it’s GO TIME.

We absolutely need your help. Sunday we had a great first step towards clean out. Next it’s planning and execution for the move itself. 

Watch this space for continuing opportunities to volunteer.    

In the meantime, if you’re ready to help, please contact  any member of the Board of Directors or the Building Committee:  Jim Kelsh, Marnie Herzfeld, Steve Schulz, John Magolan, or JT Grosch.  You can contact any of them by emailing info.forgtheatre.org@gmail.com

 Two things now are certain: “The Drowsy Chaperone” will be the last show at First Avenue; and “The 39 Steps” will be the first show in Port Providence.

Drowsy Chaperone

THE DROWSY CHAPERONE

by Lisa Lambert, Don McKellar, Bob Martin and Greg Morrison

2006 Tony Award winner

A joyful send-up of 1920’s musicals, this play-within-a-play comes to life in the living room of a musical afficionado.  The Drowsy Chaperone is crammed full with every gag and gimmick from the golden age of musical theater.

AUDITION ALERT!!

Posted on April 18, 2013 by webmaster

39

Announcing auditions for the first show of our 2013-2014 season:

THE 39 STEPS by Patrick Barlow, directed by Renee Schulz.

Dates:  Sunday, May 19 and Thursday, May 23 at 7:30 PM

Show Dates:  September 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28. 29, 2013

No preparation is necessary.  Director Renee Schulz suggests that you dress comfortably.  This is a physical show where 4 actors play all the roles, so there will be some movement/pantomime as part of the audition, in addition to reading from the script.

A note from Renee:  ”I’m looking for the male and female Hitchcock archetypes for the two leads (keeping in mind that hair dye and wigs were invented for a reason). I’m open to possibilities for the other two every”man” roles.”

Questions?  Contact Renee at info.forgetheatre.org@gmail.com.

Now Playing: ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

Posted on April 18, 2013 by webmaster

Read what Arnie Finkel has to say in STAGE Magazine HERE.

Tom Stoppard‘s ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD

R&G PuppetsAcclaimed as a modern dramatic masterpiece, Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead is the fabulously inventive tale of Hamlet, as told from the worm’s-eye view of two of the minor characters, the bewildered Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. As this Shakespearean Laurel and Hardy finally get a chance to take the lead role in the story of their own lives, they do so in a world where reality and illusion intermix, and where fate leads them to the tragic but inevitable conclusion.

directed by Diana Gagliardi
