May 24 and 25, 2006 7:30pm Tickets: 206-443-2222 Under the guidance and direction of Seattle Repertory Theatre teaching artists, over 50 Center School high school students will present the original play "Pants on Fire" May 24 and 25 in Seattle Rep's Leo K. Theatre. Over the last five months, the students have learned about costume design, set construction, marketing, playwriting and acting in two different Center School classes, and then applied those skills to bring to life the script by Seattle Rep Education Director Andrea Allen. This is the fifth year Seattle Rep has partnered with The Center School for the semester-long Drama Intensive program. Last year students gave Greek drama a modern spin in "My Life as a Greek Tragedy." Students enrolled in the Rehearsal and Performance class build their acting techniques and offer personal responses to Allen that may be incorporated into the script. Once the script is finished, the acting students audition for roles and begin an intensive rehearsal process. Students in the Design and Production class learn from professionals about designing sets, costumes and marketing pieces for theatre while also getting the chance to see and respond to local theatre productions. Under the leadership of Matt Smucker (sets), Carisa Brunner (costumes) and Joanna Horowitz (marketing), the Design and Production students help design and build the technical elements of the show. In "Pants on Fire," the infamous showman P.T. Barnum leads a cast of everyday liars and cheats to find their way in and out of reality while trying to understand their own identity. At the center of the story is a modern day "freak show" of liars, including a few whose false online personas get them into trouble. "I'm fascinated by the ways we all lie. Everyday. Often without realizing it. And how we can come to believe in these lies and make them into our own truths," Allen said. "Sometimes this is a great thing. But when do these lies and self-delusions turn ugly?" Tickets are on sale now at 206-443-2222. A Seattle Repertory Theatre press release |
