Saint Joan - Orchard Theater Collective

2/9/2020

0 Comments

 
Last week, I started rehearsals for Saint Joan with the Orchard Theater Collective in Minneapolis.
We've got a team of five actors playing the couple dozen roles. I'm playing Charles the Dauphin, John de Stogumber, Poulengey, some pages, and, for the briefest of moments, the Executioner.

The play has a short run (March 6 - March 21).
​For tickets and more details, visit this link.

And here's a first-day-of-rehearsal shot with the cast and our director, Ben Shaw (no relation to George Bernard Shaw...I think).

I'm headed back to Texas Shakespeare Festival for the summer!

​I'll be playing:
  • Eddie Brock in Born Yesterday, directed by Leda Hoffman
  • Touchstone in As You Like It, directed by Matthew Simpson
  • Iago in Othello, directed by Donald Carrier

Come visit me in Kilgore, Texas this summer. They're also doing Into the Woods and a brand-new children's show called The Girl Who Cried Throgmonster by my friend Grace Abele.

This leaves me booked until August 1 in 2019.
I'm eager to find work after that.

Mark Rylance on Directing and play

9/19/2018

0 Comments

 
"I'm very keen that [the actors are] always speaking to try and affect the other person...to affect, to try and change the world--either by affecting what the other person is doing or wants them to do, or by releasing something that's pent up in themselves, which needs to be expressed. But they're never saying anything in order to illuminate you about 'ooh, that's a big theme, or that's what the play's about.' It's a play. It's a play. "

Review: TSF’s ‘King John’ turns ‘minor’ play into major triumph

"Sailer’s performance is a tour de force. He presents himself as cocksure and arrogant — and a warrior, but he is also the embodiment of the expression 'uneasy lies the crown.'” 
- Andy Coughlan, English with a Bit of Texas
