Stanislavski's Ultimate Acting Technique by renowned instructor Philip Bennett

Stanislavski’s Ultimate Acting Technique

(An introduction to Stanislavski’s greatest discovery!)

Presented by

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company and Philip Bennett

Although the name of Stanislavski has dominated theatrical methodology for nearly a century, many misunderstandings, assumptions and distortions have taken place. In the United States Stanislavski has been identified with Strasberg’s Method Acting and psychological realism. The “Cold War” and “Iron Curtain” prevented Stanislavski’s greatest Ultimate Acting Technique from reaching the West for decades. In Russia, the Marxist Revisionists censored nearly 50% of the System’s basis in Buddhism and Raja Yoga, subjugating the Master’s teachings to the materialistic designs of the Soviet State.

Philip G. Bennett has been an actor, director and instructor of Stanislavski’s Ultimate Technique of Physical Actions for forty years. He was protégé to the world famous Russian émigré actress, director and teacher, Sonia Moore (author of The Stanislavski System, and Stanislavski Revealed). As Assistant Artistic Director to Ms. Moore and the American Stanislavski Theatre in New York, he trained and directed actors for AST’s professional theatre company. Mr. Bennett founded the San Francisco Theatre Academy, the Bennett TheatreLab and has trained and worked with directors and instructors of the Royal Shakespeare Company, including Peter Brook. He is a three-time recipient of the prestigious Hollywood Dramalogue Award and numerous other honors and awards for his work.

Join us as either an observer or jump in the fun as an acting participant.

Non-actors, Novice and Professionals are all WELCOME!

New Year's Pick
Downtown Get-Down
By TAYLOR AVEY


Tucson is hosting a New Year's Eve party for the entire city—one that folks may still be recovering from (in a good way) a year from now.

The Downtown Tucson Partnership has spent the last six months planning Tucson's First Night, aimed at offering festive entertainment for the entire family, including several magic shows, live music and an explosive finale.

"We felt like there was a need for an alternative New Year's Eve celebration for Tucsonans—something that's community-based and family-friendly," said Cara Rene, the newly appointed vice president of community development for the Downtown Tucson Partnership. "It is really an eclectic arts and culture festival that is perfect for young families and adults of all ages."

If the concept for First Night sounds familiar, it's because First Night is a tradition that began in Boston and has since spread to dozens of major cities around the country.

"More than 100 American cities do First Night festivals on New Year's Eve," Rene said. "It started in Boston in 1976, and it has just taken off with extensive community involvement, and while ours will be on the smaller scale in this inaugural year, our hope is to grow it in a similar way in years to come."

First Night is a festival that aims to bring families together and provide them with multicultural entertainment, dancing, singing, laughing and overall wonderment.

"Having it downtown gives us the opportunity to showcase our performance venues for those who are not familiar with them, and this is the perfect avenue for people to see the changes that are happening downtown," Rene said.

First Night will begin with free parking starting at 3 p.m., followed by entertainment and festivities from 4 p.m. to midnight. Performance locations include the Leo Rich Theatre (Hispanic-influenced music), the Scottish Rite Cathedral (music and a children's magic show), the Children's Museum and Beowulf Alley Theatre. Visitors are asked to buy buttons which will serve as tickets to the venues.

There will also be a variety of free outdoor entertainment offered from 4 p.m. to midnight, in the main courtyard of La Placita Village and outside of the Leo Rich Theatre.

"This is a chance to celebrate New Year's Eve in a very different way." Rene said. "We encourage people to come down and give First Night a try. Of course, we're hoping people will buy buttons, because we need community support if this is going to happen again next year, but for those who can't, there is still free entertainment, and we want people to come and experience it."

For families with small kids, the Children's Museum will have a magic show, a hip-hop dance performance and a puppet show. Children will also be able to decorate souvenirs for the final countdown. At Beowulf Alley, families can enjoy a children's sing-along, an improv-comedy skit, and music from Lisa Otey and Diane Van Deurzen, and Angel Diamond and the Blues Disciples.

"There is such a variety of entertainment, and there really is something for everybody," Rene said. "Everything that's starting off in the very early hours will be geared more toward parents and kids. It's all going to be family-friendly, but we've got a lot of stuff that's really kid-friendly in the beginning."

A midnight countdown will take place in the courtyard of the Leo Rich Theatre, with Brazilian-inspired music and a dance group performing until midnight.

"The grand finale will be a really dynamic laser-light show which is free, and everybody is encouraged to have a good time and hang out together and celebrate the New Year," Rene said.

Performances at each venue are 45 minutes long, and seating will be first-come, first-served. After each show, audiences will be cleared for those next in line. Free party favors will be available to help set a festive mood, and there will be plenty of First Night volunteers to help.

"It's an alcohol-free event and therefore provides a needed alternative to the traditional party scene," Rene said. "We're telling people not to be deterred from coming to First Night if they want that traditional party scene, because all the downtown bars and restaurants will be open all night."

First Night buttons cost $12 for adults, and $6 for kids 6 to 12 years old. Admission is free for kids 5 and younger. Paid admission allows entry to all indoor venues. Buttons can be purchased at any Food City or Bookmans location, the Fox Tucson Theatre or online.

'First Night' to showcase Downtown
By Cara Rene

SPECIAL TO THE ARIZONA DAILY STAR

Tucsonans will have a fresh option for celebrating New Year's Eve this year.
The Downtown Tucson Partnership is launching First Night – an eclectic arts and culture festival, and the most ambitious event our city has produced.

First Night will begin at 4 p.m. and end at midnight, with most performances starting every hour on the hour at seven locations Downtown. Each will last 45 minutes, giving you plenty of time to walk to the next venue.

It's a non-alcoholic family affair designed to be welcoming to parents with young children as well as teens and adults of all ages.

There will entertainment appropriate for children, as well as teens and adults. You'll be choosing between live multi-genre music, dance, comedy, magic, visual arts, interactive activities and more.
To get inside some venues, you will need to buy an admission button.

But there also will be continuous free entertainment at La Placita Village courtyard and the Tucson Convention Center Music Hall courtyard. The Tucson Children's Museum will present free entertainment in its outdoor spaces from 4-8 p.m.

First Night is a popular concept in more than 100 American cities including St. Louis, Mo.; Hartford, Conn.; Austin, Texas; Tacoma, Wash., and Boston, where the original First Night was born in 1976.
Many of the First Night events around the country are treasured holiday celebrations that feature extensive community involvement, dozens of entertainment venues, parades and fireworks, and often draw upwards of 30,000 people. We hope to expand our event in the same way over the years to come.
In Tucson's inaugural year, First Night will be on a smaller scale from the long-established sister festivals. Yet it will still offer an impressive program of live performances at several Downtown venues.
The event also is an opportunity to introduce Tucsonans and visitors to changes taking place Downtown. Those who come to the festival may be surprised by additions to the landscape and new businesses, including restaurants.

The Partnership's mission is to revitalize Downtown by creating and supporting business expansion, refurbishing structures, initiating new construction and attracting residents and visitors to the many restaurants, retail establishments and housing options. First Night fits right in.
The festival also will showcase Downtown performance spaces.

The Tucson Convention Center's Leo Rich Theatre and its outdoor plaza, the Scottish Rite Cathedral, Fox Theatre, Beowulf Alley Theatre, Tucson Children's Museum and La Placita Village's courtyard will each present a rich schedule of entertainment.

None of the participating venues will be selling alcohol. This aspect makes the event an attractive alternative for families and others for New Year's Eve.

Of course, those who wish to partake in a traditional party scene may do so: Many Downtown bars and restaurants will be open.

First Night will be capped at midnight in the Leo Rich Plaza with a dynamic laser light show paired with the energetic sounds of Brazilian-style music and dance ensemble Batucaxé.
Street parking Downtown will be free starting at 3 p.m. Infrequent visitors to Downtown will learn what the regulars already know — parking is plentiful, affordable and easy to find.
Look for a festival program inserted in today's Star. Please join us for the inaugural First Night. We need you be a part of making this festival a Tucson tradition.

If you go :
Tickets for First Night are colorful admission buttons that are worn at the festival to allow entry into all venues and performances.
Buttons are $12 for adults, $6 for children aged 6-12. Kids 5 and younger are admitted free.
You can buy buttons at Bookmans, Food City, the Tucson Convention Center box office, Fox Theatre and at www.downtowntucson.com online.

DINNER WITH FRIENDS by Donald Margulies, Directed by Susan Arnold

Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Play, the Dramatists Guild/Hull-Warriner Award, the Outer Critics Circle Award, the American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award, and a Drama Desk Award nomination.

Cast includes: Art Almquist, Rhonda Hallquist, Carrie Hill, and Rick Shipman.

A funny, yet bittersweet, examination of the married lives of two couples who have been extremely close for dozens of years. Gabe and Karen, a happily married middle-aged couple, have been friends with Tom and Beth, another married couple. In fact, it was Gabe and Karen who fixed up their friends in the first place. While having dinner at Gabe and Karen's home one night, Beth tearfully reveals that she is getting a divorce from Tom, who has been unfaithful. Tom, who had been away on business, finds out that Beth has told their friends about the looming divorce, and hastens to Gabe and Karen's home. Tom and Beth had planned to tell their friends about their breakup together, but Tom now believes that Beth has unfairly presented herself as the wronged party, and feels he must present his own side of the story. Over the course of the play, we see both couples at different ages and stages of their lives, and we witness the effects of Tom and Beth's breakup on Gabe and Karen, who first feel compelled to choose sides, and then begin to question the strength of their own seemingly tranquil marriage.

3 GUYS IN DRAG SELLING THEIR STUFF by Edward Crosby Wells, Directed by Cynthia Jeffery

2000-2001 Winner of the Spotlight On Best Play Award for Excellence in Off-Off Broadway Theatre

Cast includes: Richard Chaney, Kenton Jones and Mike Sultzbach.

Diva, Lillian, and Tink (three men in drag) are having a yard sale to raise funds for a Faberge egg in which to place the ashes of Diva's dead husband.  Diva bosses Lillian, whose principal expertise is making punch with ingredients that could fuel a rocket. Tink is confined to a wheelchair, mostly comatose, but when she does try to make herself heard, the others invariably misunderstand, causing dire consequences. The miscommunications of this misfit trio cause a friend to be run over by a pickup truck while trying to cross the street with her walker. We meet an entire neighborhood of characters through the eyes of the "ladies" during the course of their yard sale, including Diva's mother who has the yard wired with eavesdropping devices and is listening in from her room in a nursing home across the street. Finally, in an explosive climax, the day's shenanigans result in a police shootout when someone plays with a starter pistol filled with blanks. This is a raucous, raunchy, gut-busting, more than a laugh-a-minute play. 

April 11 - 26, 2009
Preview Performance April 10

PROOF by David Auburn, Directed by Sheldon Metz

2001 Tony Award, 2001 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Joseph Kesselring Prize, the Drama Desk Award

Cast includes: Jill Baker, Chris Farishon, Roberto Guajardo, and Jonathan Northover.

A comic drama, Proof is about Catherine, a young woman who has spent years caring for her father, Robert, a brilliant mathematician in his youth who was later unable to function without her help. His death has brought into her midst both her sister, Claire, who wants to take Catherine back to New York with her, and Hal, a former student of Catherine's father who hopes to find some hint of Robert's genius among his incoherent scribbling. The passion that Hal feels for math both moves and angers Catherine, who, in her exhaustion, is torn between missing her father and resenting the great sacrifices she made for him. For Catherine has inherited at least a part of her father's brilliance -- and perhaps some of his instability as well. As she and Hal become attracted to each other, they push at the edges of each other's knowledge, considering not only the unpredictability of genius but also the human instinct toward love and trust.

Watch the rooftops - The Eight Reindeer Monologues landing at Beowulf Alley Theatre

Last Chance to see The Eight Reindeer Monologues!

 

This Friday and Saturday night, RES Productions and the Unlikely Theatre bring their closing performances of the around-town hit, The Eight Reindeer Monologues to Beowulf Alley Theatre. Each performance begins at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 general admission, $10 for students/seniors. For more information, see below!

 

“This play is tasteless, dark, dirty and downright hilarious.” –Kathy Allen, Arizona Daily Star

 

 

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

They've got hilarious stories about working at the North Pole in a dysfunctional environment that makes your crazy boss look like a beginner.  Dasher (Jeff Robinson) starts with a practically military devotion to being "the leader of The Eight," and Vixen (Laine Peterson) ends the evening of hilarity with the "truth" about the National Media Scandal over rumors of sexual harassment at the Pole.  Anyone who can use a little ADULT black comedy to get over the usual conventional and commercial nonsense of the Holidays is in for major laughs. These very "human" reindeer deliver on the crazy office politics we have all experienced.  What's worse: they know the "whole truth" about poor Rudolf. 

RES Productions and the Unlikely Theatre bring you eight of the very best actors in Tucson for comedy in the style of Saturday Night Live with addition of wonderful and sometimes poignant testimony from "reindeer" who have their own stories to tell about Santa and even Mrs. Claus (at last year's office party).  All directed by the 2007 MAC award winning Best Director in Tucson, Howard Allen.

Starring Alida Wilson-Gunn, Garrett Staab, Eric Anson, Chris Farishon, Roxanne Harley, Jeff Robinson, Laine Peterson, and Alex Garday.

See what local newspapers are saying about the cast:

“There wasn't a disappointment in the ensemble piece. But Alida Holguin Gunn as the street-wise, tough-gal Comet, a Santa supporter (he did, after all, save her from a life on the streets), stood out.” –Kathy Allen, Arizona Daily Star

 

“Roxanne Harley delivers what is ultimately the most poignant, if not entirely relevant, monologue as Dancer, who keenly misses being able to dance. Eric Anson does some of his best work ever as Donner, Rudolph's father, who struggles to justify selling out on so many levels.” –James Reel, Tucson Weekly

 

And, on Laine Peterson, who plays the infamous Vixen:

 

“Imagine Sarah Silverman with antlers.”-James Reel, Tucson Weekly

 

Santa’s Reindeer will be giving their FINAL TESTIMONY for the Holiday Season:

December 19-20 @7:30pm: Beowulf Alley (11 South Sixth Ave)
