2024-2025 Theatrical Season:

THEME: DARK AMBITIONS

One might infer that all of society’s ills are due to self-centered human ambition, and the narcissism and callousness required to myopically pursue such goals.

This season we look at dark ambitions in

  • MacBeth. A Shakespeare play in which one man’s ambition requires the death of others (FALL)
  • The Corsican Brothers. An interactive Melodrama about two feuding houses in Corsica
    • Think Capulets and Montagues, Hatfields and McCoys, and current conflicts around the world (FEB)
  • A Study in Scarlet. The Sherlock Holmes murder mystery that features opposing wills and goals (SPRING)

FALL 2024 – MacBeth a la UBU

The Shakespeare tragedy, MacBeth, starring the comically absurd Pa and Ma UBU (from Alfred Jarry’s UBU ROI) as MacBeth & Lady MacBeth.

  • The presence of these grotesque characters, who parody the worst of humanity, highlights the dark ambitions in this play while breathing new life and new perspectives into one of Shakespeare’s most popular works.
  • Tragedy becomes Tragicomedy – dark and layered with bursts of laughter from the gut.
  • MacBeth as you’ve never seen it before. This is not your grandma’s MacBeth.

 

FEBRUARY 2025 – The Corsican Brothers or The Fatal Duel

An interactive Melodrama adapted by T.S. Forsyth from the script by Dion Boucicault, based upon the novel by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers).

  • Conjoined identical twins, separated at birth but connected through their senses, seek to defend and revenge their family.
  • Comedy, adventure, romance, action (including sword fights) and more.  Performed interactively (like the 2024 Placer Rep hit Frankenstein).

 

SPRING 2025 – SHERLOCK HOLMES: A STUDY IN SCARLET

This play is an adaptation of the very first novel by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle featuring the character Sherlock Holmes.

  • “There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colorless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.”
  • A clash of wills and ways of life.
