It is various poems and monologues, combined with music and dance that comment on living with HIV and the quest for love. The tradition of the choreopoem as a theatrical vehicle to explore the conditions of black life goes back to at least Ntozake Shange’s For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When The Rainbow Is Enuf. The genre remains popular, specifically in African-American theatre, largely because it allows multiple narratives to tell a collective, unifying story. *GET TICKETS HERE <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/loneliness-is-a-terminal-disease-tickets-82559…>*

Roles available for What the Butler Saw, directed by Jim Fippin, performance January 26, 2020: Dr. Prentice (m): 40s or 50s. “A husband must be allowed to put his wife into a straight-jacket. It’s one of the few pleasures left in modern marriage.” Geraldine Barclay (f): 20s. (answering the question “What is your shorthand speed?”) “I can manage twenty words a minute with ease, sir.” Mrs. Prentice (f): 40s or 50s. (said of her, not by her) “You were born with your leg apart. They’ll send you to the grave in a y-shaped coffin.” Nicholas Beckett (m): 20s. “I’d like to get out of the indecent photograph racket. It’s so wearing on the nerves.” Dr. Rance (m): 50+. “I once put a whole family into a communal straight-jacket…It was my own family.

Politically correct to a fault, a big one. He’s that guy everyone loves, but his logical PC thinking takes weird turns. Alicia (f): Brunette Caucasian but has looks that would have been cast as ethnic in 1950’s movies. Hot, but not bright. That actress whose every script note ends with her being allocated more lines.

Tim (m): 40s, her husband, a good ol’ boy. Jen (f): early 30s, with a wedding binder, who has dreamt of her wedding day her whole life. Macy (f): early 30s, her reluctant fiancé, African American. Roles available for The Pillowman: directed by Kyle Huff, performance on November 8, 2020 Katurian (m): a writer of gruesome short stories often involving children. His disturbed imagination is the result of hearing his brother abused when they were younger. Michal (m): Katurian’s brother, who is “slow to get things.” Tupolski (m): a detective, the “good cop.” Cold, uncaring, detached. Ariel (m): a brutal and violent detective who has a vendetta against anyone who commits crimes against children because of abuse in his own past. Questions?
