BTAT Presents SOMEONE WHO’LL WATCH OVER ME
By: Gabrielle Sierra Dec. 21, 2011
METG Award Winner Jack Serio will direct the Boston Teen Acting Troupe in Frank McGuinness's "Someone Who'll Watch Over Me", the first Boston revival in over a decade, with the proceeds benefiting The Boys and Girls Club of Dorchester.
Someone Who'll Watch Over Me is a play written by Irish dramatist Frank McGuinness. The play focuses on the trials and tribulations of an Irishman, an Englishman and an American (Edward, Michael, and Adam) who are kidnapped and held hostage by unseen Arabs in Lebanon. As the three men strive for survival they also strive to overcome their personal and nationalistic differences. Related to this is each individual's own attempt to maintain sanity under the watchful eye of both captors and supposed comrades. At times the dramatic dialogue reaches a level of Beckettinian absurdity, as even the audience is unable to draw a distinction between the characters' insanity and humor. We are made witness and accomplice to a humor based on something apparently ghastly, the loss of rationality.

Founded in January of 2011 by Jack Serio and Catherine Spino the BTAT prides themselves in producing professional quality theatrical events produced, managed, directed and acted completely by teens. With hopes of breaking the cliche of horrible high school productions and bad actors, the BTAT challenges themselves by producing difficult theatrical pieces. While producing professional theatre the BTAT gives back to local charities. Most recently the Keep-A-Breast Foundation.
