GLTF Producing Artistic Director <B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">Charles
Fee</B>.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“In the fall, we unveiled
the design of our new home, and our audience’s response to our work – both
onstage and surrounding the stage – could not have been more rewarding -
confirming our belief that northeast <u1:place u2:st="on"><u1:State
u2:st="on">Ohio</u1:State></u1:place> is hungry for and deeply supportive of
innovation.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>We look forward to
building on that positive momentum this spring with two great classic
comedies.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I feel very lucky indeed
to have my first opportunity to direct <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Comedy of Errors </I>while
simultaneously producing GLTF’s first Chekhov play during my tenure.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>I simply couldn’t have asked for a
better partner in this endeavor than our longtime artistic company member, Drew
Barr, who is returning to work with us again this season as both the director
and adapter of our production of <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The
Seagull</I>." <B><BR><BR></B><B style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">The
Festival’s production of <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The Seagull</I>

style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“Every performance of a play is an
interpretive act, a translation of written text into the living, breathing
present,” said <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Seagull</I> adapter and
director Barr.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>“One of the things
that I’m delighted by, working on <I style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">The
Seagull</I>, is that it’s so fantastically about theatre, and about art and life
– and love and life; love and art in life.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And I think that it’s a great play for theatre companies to work on,
especially a company of actors that’s worked together as long as this one
has.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is some instinctual
thing that necessitates art in our lives.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>And certain people end up being the creators of it, and others become the
audience for it, but it’s a collaborative relationship and, on one level, the
play is investigating aspects of that relationship: as actor and audience,
artist and subject, lover and object of desire.<BR><BR><B

</SPAN>A melancholy masterwork by a revolutionary Russian dramatist, <I

the comic, the lyric and the tragic in a fashion that has become the hallmark of
playwright Anton Chekhov’s enduring art.<BR><BR><B
