ALUMNI THEATER AND FILM

 

 
 
ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD
 
Alumni Hannah Steblay is the assistant director for Theatre in the Round's production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, in which she will also appear as Ophelia. Alumni Connor Bohne will appear as Rosencrantz (or is it Guildenstern?). Deconstructed narratives are only fun when their farces: Take a look at Hamlet from the viewpoint of its minor characters, the college chums of the Prince of Denmark.

PROOF

Alumna and Artistic Director Ellen Fenster directs Proof for the Phoenix Theater Project. After the death of her father, Catherine is left to pull together her own life; a life that was set aside to care for her ailing father, a famous mathematician. She must deal with his legacy; hundreds of notebooks that most likely hold the ramblings of a man slowly losing his genius, but may reveal the last great work of a brilliant mind.  Now she is forced to face her own life and can no longer avoid her possible inheritance; genius or insanity.

FULLY COMMITTED
 
Starring alumni Nathan Keepers. Fully Committed is a devastatingly funny play about a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant.  While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can Sam manage to make it home for the holidays?
 
Jungle Theater
November 5th - December 19th, 2010
 

 
 
OPUS
 
A celebrated string quartet has their backs against a wall on the eve of their White House debut. They’ve had to replace their violist with gifted, inexperienced Grace, who’s never played Beethoven's difficult Opus 131. Opus explores the power and pettiness of collaboration... and what a girl's gotta do to play with the big boys. Alumni Emily Gunyou Halaas stars as Grace in Park Square Theater's area premiere.

INSTITUTIONS

This section is dedicated to the South High Theater alumni who have become part of institutions for theater, film, or the arts. As we all know, there's more to theater than just the performers up on stage. This is our way of acknowledging more than just the tip of the iceberg and recognizing the many accomplishments and achievements of our South High Theater alumni. (In general, the idea is that if you're contributing creatively to a specific show -- acting, directing, editing, designing, stage managing, writing, or the like -- the show will be spotlighted up above. But if you're on the board or own the company or running the theater's box office, this is the place for it.)
