STAGE TUBE: Backstage Fight Call for Main Street Theater's LIFE IS A DREAM

By: Stage Tube Oct. 15, 2012

Check out a behind the scenes look at a "Fight Call" for Main Street Theater's production of Calderon's Life Is a Dream!

Life Is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, translated and adapted by Nilo Cruz, runs through Oct. 21 at Main Street Theater in Rice Village.

A woman seeking revenge on her former lover. Cousins vying for the throne. A prisoner grappling with what is rightfully his. A king questioning destiny. Everyone fighting for their lives. Life Is a Dream is an intense and marvelously human tale of passionate people striving to do what’s right: either for themselves or for the world – and they don’t always coincide.

This beautiful play is very rarely produced. For tickets, scheduling and more about the production, visit www.MainStreetTheater.com.

Review: A CHRISTMAS CAROL at Alley Theatre

Now in its third year under the skillful guidance of new (Remounting) Director Amber D. Gray, this Dickens classic has been freshly adapted by Alley Theatre’s Artistic Director Rob Melrose. A CHRISTMAS CAROL tells the story we all know so well: a miserly old man is visited by four ghosts who reveal the impact of his actions on others and the trajectory of his own life, leading him toward redemption. This adaptation stands out by weaving carols into the narrative as a guiding thread. Sung a cappella by the cast, these songs enhance the show’s festive charm. Some are timeless classics, while others feel rooted in the Victorian period, lending authenticity to the setting. The arrangements, rich with harmonies, are beautifully performed by a small group or the entire ensemble.

Review: LOVE BOMB at CATASTROPHIC THEATRE

LOVE BOMB is a masterpiece of the absurd, but at the same time, it’s a viable Melanie jukebox musical that could command any stage in town. Yet I doubt that any company other than the Catastrophic Theatre will ever dare to do so because it asks much of its audience.
