Hot Thespian Action!
Author: Robin Whittaker
Publisher: Athabasca University Press
ISBN: 1897425260
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 585
Book Description
In Hot Thespian Action! Robin Whittaker argues that new plays can thrive in amateur theatres, which have freedoms unavailable to professional companies. He proves it with ten relevant, engaging playscripts originally produced by one of Canada's longest-running theatres, Edmonton's acclaimed Walterdale Theatre Associates. This collection challenges notions that amateur theatre is solely a phenomenon of the pre-professional past. Whittaker makes an important contribution to Canadian theatre studies with the first North American anthology in 80 years to collect plays first produced by a nonprofessionalized theatre company.

Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
What is the new generation of Canadian playwrights writing about? What makes them turn to theatre as the medium of choice? As they graduate from writing programs and intensives across the country, as they produce their work and take it to the festivals, what stories are they telling us? This exciting anthology answers those questions. The writers come from theatre and creative writing schools across Canada, and the settings of their plays take us from large urban centres to small rural communities. Many of these new writers are young, some are not so young. These 12 short works by Canada's newest playwrights focuses on one-act plays that feature a small cast (one to three actors) and can be performed in under an hour. The characters range from sweet to unsettling, and all stops in between. The plays are witty and wise, and they are often hilarious. They offer fresh perspectives on universal problems: How do I find love? How should evil be dealt with? What do I do about loss? What makes a good person? Included are: Almost, Again by Briana Brown Kiss Me Outside the Box by Carmen Cartterfield Mature Young Adults by Wesley J. Colford The Stillbirth by Kara Crabb Waterfront: The Blessing by Leah Jane Esau The Kharkiv Letters by Alexa Gilker Red by Jordan Hall Bathsheba by Jennifer Kearney The Motherhouse by Tamara Langrandeur Mrs. Ferguson's Bed by Sherryl Melnyk Crazy Love by David Sklar Third Person by Brandon Wicke This anthology will be of particular interest to students and teachers looking for current, challenging scene work for young actors.
