I have been invited to participate in this year's Directors Lab North in the city of Toronto, CA this coming June, 2018.
The goal of the LAB is to foster a national and international exchange between a community of emerging, mid level and established career directors that need a safe space to explore and connect with like-minded peers. Participants will be exposed to foreign techniques and practices, broadening their scope and repertoire. It is a series of workshops, readings, rehearsals, investigations, roundtable discussions, shared sessions and master classes with Master Directors from around Canada and the world. To learn more about the Lab visit directorslabnorth.com  Please join us for a FREE Public Reading of Gina Femia's newest play WE ARE A MASTERPIECE, currently in development as Retro Productions Theater Company's next offering.
This reading is free and open to the public but reservations are required as seating is limited. The reading will take place in the Community Rooms at the 14th Street Y (344 E 14th St at 1st Ave) which will be co-presenting the production next year. WE ARE A MASTERPIECE By Gina Femia Directed by DeLisa M. White Featuring: CK Allen, Danielle Boivin, Nat Cassidy*, Heather E. Cunningham*, Joe Mathers*, Antonio Minino, Ben Schnickel, Kristen Vaughan, Aubrie Therrien. *Appears courtesy of Actors' Equity Association. WE ARE A MASTERPIECE takes place at the dawn of the AIDS crisis, when the disease was still a mystery. In Kalamazoo, Michigan, Joan, a no-nonsense nurse, becomes a sort of fairy godmother to the town’s gay community when no one else will step up to care for them as they die one by one. She becomes their friend, their mother, their sister, as they navigate life and death with this new plague; caring for them, taking in John - an artist who becomes like a son to her, burying the dead on her property. Out of the ashes of their collective lives, lifelong bonds are forged and beauty is found even at the darkest of moments. TO RSVP: Please RSVP to retroprods@gmail.com by December 14th if you plan on attending. |
