F0R IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 16, 2009 Ashley Zach Communications Coordinator [email protected] (850) 524-4157 ENDSTATION THEATRE COMPANY ANNOUNCES THE 2010 BLUE RIDGE SUMMER THEATRE FESTIVAL SEASON Sweet Briar, VA (8/26/09) – Endstation Theatre Company has announced its 2010 Blue Ridge Summer Theatre Festival Season. The first show, The Complete Works of Shakespeare: Abridged, will tour local schools from May 24-28, followed by a twoweekend run at Lynchburg’s Renaissance Theatre, June 4-13. For the second show of the season, Endstation will produce its first theatre production/event for young audiences, Alice in Wonderland, July 1-17 in Sweet Briar College’s Babcock Auditorium. In keeping with their tradition of site-specific outdoor theatre, Endstation will be offering Shakespeare’s Hamlet, July 16-25, against the background of an old dairy barn on the scenic Sweet Briar College campus. "Our 2009 season was such an exciting experience as we expanded the season to three shows,” says Endstation Artist Director and Amherst native, Geoffrey Kershner. “In 2010 we continue to expand our growth with performances in area schools and our first show for young audiences. Our Hamlet, set in the Civil War era, will also be our most ambitious outdoor show yet." Endstation has also introduced a new program, A Playwrights’ Initiative, which will occur in conjunction of the Blue Ridge Summer Theatre Festival. Playwrights from around the country will participate in a short series of writing intensives, and will then show their work in public performances. Dates and times for these performances are still to come. The Blue Ridge Summer Theatre Festival is produced each year by the Endstation Theatre Company and is hosted by Sweet Briar College. The Endstation Theatre Company is the resident theatre company of Sweet Briar College, and is dedicated to the exploration and promotion of the theatre arts in Central Virginia. Endstation creates unique theatrical experiences by heightening the theatrical convention itself - every Endstation production explores and defines the relationship between live theatre and the audience.
