ASHLAND'S TROJAN WOMEN Examines the Strength of Women
by Tricia Applegate 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

Ashland University Theatre presents THE TROJAN WOMEN Euripides' classic Greek drama | translated by Richmond Lattimore directed by Robert Sean Parker November 8-11 at 7:30 p.m. November 12 at 2 p.m. | Studio Theatre *Opening Reception: *Wednesday, Nov. 8 immediately following performance Ashland University Department of Theatre continues the 2017-2018 season with Euripides' classic Greek drama *The Trojan Women *with translation by Richmond Lattimore. Directed by Assistant Professor of Theatre Robert Sean Parker, audiences are advised that seating is limited and advance purchase of tickets is recommended. Euripides wrote this play addressing what happened to the Trojan women whose husbands, fathers and sons were killed by the Greeks during the Trojan war. In this timeless story about the victims of war, this story examines the tragic fates of these women who were taken from their land and were used as slaves or concubines. Director Parker explains in his director's notes, "These women are beacons for us all...Euripides presented important issues and represented women victimized by patriarchy. They were defiant, and although provoked by male abuse, took action and believed in hope...The Trojan Women are a symbol of strength. They are not victims but survivors who should be respected. They are a fortress that is incombustible. These women oppose patriarchal order and strive for equality, respect, and control of their own bodies." With the theatre season's theme of "Building Bridges," AU Theatre is striving to provide opportunities to better understand ourselves and others with performances that encourage dialogue about challenges in our world today. Parker connects the year-long schedule of programs presented by the College of Arts & Sciences' Symposium Against Indifference with *The Trojan Women* production by saying, "Let’s build bridges through dialogue and have *No More Enemies*. Open our hearts with *Interfaith Dialogue*. Find *Strength Through Connection*. Find inspiration in helping and nurturing a desire to help others with our *Voices Inside*. Let’s get *Filtered Through Networks* and know what’s important." The Trojan women are led by Hecuba, the Queen of Troy, played by Kathleen Thompson Parker (Ashland); Hecuba's daughter, Kassandra, played by Ivey Buffenmyer (Ashland); her daughter-in-law, Andromache, played by Gabriella Carr (Pickerington); along with Holly Fongheiser (Wadsworth), Chelle Hannah Frye (Danville), AnnMarie Hill (Mansfield), Emily Schordock (Westlake), Naomi Sims (Grapevine, Texas) and Alyssa Srail (Medina) as the chorus of captive Trojan women. Community member Jace Rickard plays Andromache's son, Astyanax. The Greek Gods Poseidon and Athene are portrayed by Nik Demers (Shelby) and Mia Kardotzke (Clyde) while Greek leaders include King Menelaso of Sparta played by Will Taylor (Fairborn); his wife, Helen of Troy, played by Macy Campbell (Geno a); and Talthybios, the herald, played by Zack Hamilton (Canal Winchester). Rounding out the cast are the Greek soldiers played by Eric Breeden (Medina), Ethan Tingler (Roseville) and Dave Tomlinson (Northfield). AU Theatre is proud to host alumnus D. Justin Bilewicz, III, (2009) as the show's guest costume designer. With a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies in Costume Design, Justin’s theatrical credits extend across Northeast Ohio, working as a costume designer for community and academic theatre in Amherst, Cleveland, Lorain, Shaker Heights, Case Western Reserve University, and Westlake. He is also the costume shop supervisor for Ashland University. Justin's costume design credits include *Mothers and Sons *(Beck Center for the Arts), *Carrie, the Musical *(Sandstone Summer Theatre), *Waiting For Lefty *(Case Western Reserve University), *The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee *(Fine Arts Association), *Willy Wonka *(French Creek Theatre), *Sister Act *(Sandstone Summer Theatre), and *Parade* (French Creek Theatre).

Michael Desper as the scenic designer with junior musical theatre major Maya Rickard (Wooster) as the associate scenic designer; Parker as the sound designer with support from Ingrid Schmidt (Mansfield) as assistant designer, and a joint lighting design by the lighting design class.

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKENDS to see The Caucasian Chalk Circle!
by August Scarpelli 03 Nov '17

03 Nov '17

The Caucasian Chalk Circle Opens Shahrazad Theatre Company’s Inaugural Season Ensemble Theatre presents Shahrazad Theatre Company’s adaptation of Bertold Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circle October 27 -- November 12 Fridays & Saturdays - 8pm Sundays - 2pm Ensemble’s Playground Theatre Space Cleveland Heights, OH (October 24, 2017) -- Ensemble Theatre ushers in the next generation of Cleveland theatre as the incubator for the new Shahrazad Theatre Company (STC). The new company is co-founded by three Artistic Associates of Ensemble and graduates of Hiram College, Kayla Davis (‘14), Kyle Huff (‘14), and August Scarpelli (‘16). Shahrazad Theatre Company’s inaugural production is of Bertolt Brecht’s parable, The Caucasian Chalk Circle (translated and adapted by STC) performed in Ensemble’s Playground Theatre -- 2843 Washington Blvd, Cleveland Heights OH 44118. Much like Ensemble Theatre, STC is dedicated to works that “celebrate the human spirit and it’s struggle.” Much like the revolutionary playwrights and artists who changed the conversations theatre could have, STC believes a fresh and living light can be shed on the facets and flaws of the modern human condition. Chalk Circle features a group of well-known local actors including Robert Hawkes, Valerie Young, James Rankin, Tim Young, Andrew Keller, Katelyn Rotuno, Hannah Storch, Steve Vase-Hansell, Allen Branstein, Kayla Davis, and August Scarpelli. Kyle Huff is directing the STC adaptation. About The Caucasian Chalk Circle: With the help of a few wayward actors, two divided and destitute post-war villages in the middle of a heated debate over “their” land, share the story of Grusha, a peasant who is given an abandoned and noble child whom she chooses to raise as her own. It is a long and dangerous journey into the northern mountains to find the child a home; all while her beloved fiance is at war. Meanwhile, the city is in flames -- a scoundrel and drunkard is appointed judge, and suddenly the child's mother decides she wants him back! Grusha is put on trial. In this "golden age,” law and justice will be tested; will it bend or will it break? In light of Ensemble theatre’s 2017/18 season entitled “We the People” and the recent events concerning the future of the Coventry Corner, the last lines of the play resound clearly: “And you who have listened to the story of the chalk circle, Bear in mind the age-old wisdom: That all things should belong to those who would do well by them, Children to the motherly, so they may thrive, Cars to good drivers, so they may be well driven. And the valley to the waterers, that it may bear fruit”. Tickets are $12-15 and are available atwww.EnsembleTheatreCLE.org <http://www.ensembletheatrecle.org/> For reservations and information, call216-202-0938 <(216)%20202-0938>.
