Metamorphic Theatre Launches 2008 Season with Original Play
Halifax based theatre company, Metamorphic Theatre, is launching their 2008 season with an original play by local playwright, Caitlin Pilsworth. Pilsworth’s Living My Life in Circles will debut at BusStop Theatre, 2203 Gottingen Street, May 1-3, 2008, 8:00 pm with a 4:00 pm matinée on Saturday, May 3. Tickets are $10 at the door or can be reserved by calling (902) 429-8742. Visit metamorphic.ca for more details.
“Living My Life in Circles is a continuation of last year’s inaugural Script to Stage Project,” said Samantha Madore, Metamorphic Theatre. “This beautifully written, first-draft play by Caitlin Pilsworth has been workshopped and developed into a finished, polished work.”
Directed by Leana Todd and assistant directed by Metamorphic Theatre founder, Samantha Madore, the play will feature choreography by Susie Keating. Technical director is Evan Brown and stage manager is Karen Josey with set assistance by Holly Irving.
Living My Life in Circles tells the story of Van, a young woman with a self-involved, eccentric mother and a strict Catholic aunt. These two women take turns “raising” Van in opposite environments. Frida barely acknowledges her daughter whereas Ruth showers Van with rules and regulations. Van lives most of her life telling stories from the past. Men come and go in Van’s life including a lovable handy man, a South American with bad teeth, and finally a kind-hearted stranger at a bus stop. Frida, Ruth, and Van exist in each other’s orbits but are only truly alive in Van’s stories.
Living My Life in Circles stars: Sher Clain as Ruth (Sunday in the Park with George), Andre Davey as David (The Bacchae, Pulp Fiction - LIVE!), Steven Heisler as Ed (The Threepenny Opera, All in the MacFamily), Lisa MacCormack as Frida (The House of Bernarda, Alba Under Milkwood), Allison MacDougall as Van (Soul Alone, Morning Dove), Eugene Sampang as Juan (theatrical debut).
