THEATRE EXCURSIONS 2016-17 As a way of developing artistically, it is vital to see live theatre. While Flagstaff has some wonderful theatre at Theatrikos and NAU, it is also important to see the trends in acting going on elsewhere. This philosophy has brought FALA students to London, New York, Chicago, and – many times – to Phoenix. I would contend that a large part of the success in our art programs is witnessing great artists in their element. These trips are completely optional and I encourage you to discuss which plays/cities you wish your son/daughter to attend. I am always available to talk and help organize fund raising opportunities, as I believe all students should be able to attend if they wish. UTAH SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL September 1-4, 2016 $350 – Includes plays, transportation, and rooming Monies due May 25 This will be our ninth visit to the cozy town of Cedar City, Utah. We will see four shows in three days: HENRY V Prince Hal has inherited the throne as King Henry V and now must quickly act to save his kingdom. His stunning St. Crispin’s Day speech includes some of Shakespeare’s greatest lines, but is it enough to rally his countrymen around their new leader? THREE MUSKETEERS A fresh, fast-paced, and funny adaptation of one of literature’s most thrilling romantic adventures: the dashing musketeers—and one plucky kid sister—swashbuckle their way through nefarious villains, international intrigue, and exotic ladies. It’s “all for one and one for all” in an action-packed update of this beloved classic. MARY POPPINS Everyone’s favorite nanny takes the stage in this supercalifragilistic adventure. One of the most popular Disney movies of all time comes to life in this “practically perfect” musical! It’s an enchanting mixture of irresistible story and unforgettable song. MURDER FOR TWO Everyone is a suspect in this hilarious musical murder mystery with a twist: One actor investigates the crime. The other plays all the suspects. And they both play the piano! A zany blend of classic musical comedy and madcap mystery, this ninety-minute whodunit is a highly theatrical duet loaded with killer laughs. LOS ANGELES, October 6-9, 2016 $350 – Includes plays, transportation, and rooming Monies due August 14 MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM @ MARK TAPER FORUM An American masterpiece, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom is an incredibly powerful depiction of rage, racism, and exploitation set in 1927 Chicago during a recording session at a white-owned studio with the legendary singer—inspired by real-life Mother of the Blues Gertrude “Ma” Rainey. Tony Award® winner Phylicia Rashad (director of August Wilson’s celebrated Joe Turner’s Come and Gone at the Mark Taper Forum) directs this groundbreaking play from Wilson’s The American Century Cycle chronicling the African-American experience of the 20th century. BARBEQUE @ THE GEFFEN From Obie and Helen Hayes Award winner Robert O’Hara comes a raucous and rollicking new comedy about sibling love and loathing. This Barbecue skewers any ideas we have about the families we think we know. ACTOR’S GANG To be announced. A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE @ AHMUNSEN The Tony-Award winning (Best Revival of a Play & Best Director) Young Vic production is being remounted in Los Angeles. NEW YORK CITY, Last week of February $1600 – Includes all art, classes, performances, transportation to and around the city, and rooming. Monies due in four installments; final installment due January 15 Join Ms. Henes and Mr. Levin on this exhilarating (and exhausting) journey. We will see performances each night, take a cooking class, a dance class, visit a high school, see world class art and meet with artists. Past shows include: Once, Sleep No More, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, The Iceman Cometh, Buried Child, and Big Love. ASU GAMMAGE SOUND OF MUSIC: October 22 BEAUTIFUL: November 26 THE ILLUSIONISTS: January 21
