Singthrough of The Pirates of Penzance
Chris Snyder, Julie Frakes
|
Jan/24 | Sat | 02:00PM-05:00PM | 24-115 |
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Prereq: None
Singers, musicians, and theater-lovers!
What better way to get acquainted with the humor of W.S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan than one of their most famous productions, with equally silly pirates and soldiers? We'll informally sing through The Pirates of Penzance. Folks singing lead roles will be selected electronically during the first week of January, and we'll have some informal rehearsal opportunities available for those less familiar with the music.
If you wish to sing a lead role, please fill out this form by Fri 1/9/15: http://goo.gl/PFAW4E If you wish to sing with the chorus, no RSVP needed (though it's helpful for us to predict attendance).
Depending on interest and available space, we may also be accompanied by orchestra! If you're interested in playing, let us know on the form.
Synopsis: Frederic is a pirate's apprentice until his 21st birthday -- but what is a "birth day" when you're born on the February 29 of a leap year? Will he fulfill his duty to the pirates, or will he side with the Very Model of a Modern Major-General (and his Very Eligible Bachelorette of a Daughter)?

How do you begin to think about lighting a set for a theatrical production, and what techniques can you use to go from "good" to "great"?
Led by Mike Bromberg '70, this seminar will introduce folks to how to do lighting design for a theatrical performance. The first session is an introduction to stage lighting hardware with demonstrations of the quality of light obtainable from the various fixtures. The second covers lighting design techniques such as frontlight, sidelight, washes, specials, etc. with a live demonstration of the effects of different angles and qualities of light. The third session covers the chronology of a stage lighting design including the light plot, hookup, and other documents.
No experience required! Sign up at http://goo.gl/bnjj9J so we can predict attendance, since we can take up to 20 people per session.
