NOTES
From the Playwright Shakespeare and wordless movement theater? I know, crazy! However, I’ve always felt and been taught that while Shakespeare is beautiful language that it is also raw human impulse and extremely physical. So why not? LEAR is a pastiche of the family drama that is King Lear. This adaptation of Shakespeare’s work pulls together the multitude of story lines and investigates them through only Lear, the Fool, and the three daughters.

PLAYWRIGHT
UP C O MI N G CL AS S ES Ch e k h ov Te c hn i q u e Wo r k s h o p s with Gail Cronauer Saturdays, 10 AM-Noon November 4-December 16 Theatre Three is teaming with National Michael Chekhov Association (NMCA) to provide performance training to adult actors, both professional and novice, who are seeking to learn more about the art and science of acting.
“Michael Chekhov’s work and technique is a gift to the performing artist — or anyone interested in peak performance,” says Cronauer. “It gives the actor real tools, fosters a healthy aesthetic, unlocks the imagination, enlivens the body and voice and fosters ease, confidence and courage.”
