9/13 - The Bonnie and Clyde Fall Gala - Peppermint Creek

8/31/2013

 
Friday, September 13, 2013 7:00pm until 10:00pm

On Friday, Sept. 13, Peppermint Creek Theatre Company will be hosting their 2013-2014 season kick-off event, “The Bonnie and Clyde Fall Gala”, from 7 to 10 p.m. at the Miller Performing Arts Center located at 6025 Curry Lane in Lansing. This annual event allows PCTC patrons, supporters, and community members to kick off the new season with a small taste of what’s in store for their 11th season.

In keeping with the spirit of Bonnie and Clyde’s era, the Fall Gala will include food, wine, a silent auction, music from the period, a demonstration of swing dancing, and a preview of scenes from the season opener, Bonnie and Clyde, the musical. Tickets are $60 for one or $100 for a pair. Proceeds will support PCTC production and operational costs for the 2013-2014 season. 

Attendees are encouraged to dress in period clothing, and of course, need a password to enter this night of whoopee (a good time, for those of us not familiar with 1920’s slang). Tickets may be obtained at www.peppermintcreek.org, and remember, “It’s going to be the bee’s knees.” 
(btw Chad assures me that the "password" is "just creating ambiance…you don't need to remember the password!" for those of you who may share my confusion/paranoia - ;-} - See you there! - Jane)

Bonnie and Clyde, by Frank Wildhorn, will run at the Miller Performing Arts Center from Sept. 19-29, and focuses on America’s most renowned folk heroes, and Texas law enforcement’s worst nightmare, Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow. This musical tells the story of their love, adventure, and crime through a thrilling non-traditional musical score that combines blues, gospel, and rockabilly music. 

Other shows in PCTC’s 2013-2014 season include Other Desert Cities by Jon Robin Baitz, Big Love by Charles Mee, Tribes by Nina Raine, and Clybourne Park by Bruce Norris. For more information about PCTC’s full season including season tickets and how to get involved, visit www.peppermintcreek.org.

9/5-15 -  Zombies from the Beyond at Over the Ledge

8/31/2013

 
A musical comedy celebration of American ideals and foibles in the Eisenhower era. Songs, dances, and laughs abound in the unlikeliest of settings as the Cold War and space race paranoia threaten the good folks at the fictional Milwaukee Space Center in 1955, where the staff is all abuzz at the arrival of rocket scientist Trenton Corbett. The budding romance of Trenton and Mary—the daughter of Space Center commander Major Malone—is jeopardized when a flying saucer lands in Milwaukee. The craft is piloted by Zombina, a buxom alien aviatrix bent on procuring he-specimens to re-populate her planet. www.overtheledge.org

Inner Monologue in Acting
www.amazon.com
What should an actor be thinking on stage? This overlooked, important question is the crux of this new book that combines psychological theory, practical exercises, and a wide-reaching examination of inner monologue in various forms including film, musical theatre, and comedy. The inner monologue is that "stream of consciousness" or "inner voice" that constantly echoes in your head. This revolutionary new book tames and harnesses that voice to be used as a powerful tool in acting. Written in an accessible tone, the book assists actors, directors and educators in their quest for deeper more thoughtful acting and is a perfect supplement to traditional actor training.

8/27 - Red Cross/Riverwalk team up to help save lives

8/23/2013

 
In an effort to boost the blood supply and also show appreciation to blood donors, the Great Lakes Region of the American Red Cross and Riverwalk Theatre are joining forces for a blood drive Aug. 27 at the Radisson Hotel, 111 N. Grand Ave.  Anyone who comes out to donate blood, from 9 a.m. to 2:45 p.m., will receive a voucher they can exchange for a discounted ticket to see any performance of Riverwalk Theatre’s production of M*A*S*H. Performance dates for M*A*S*H are Sept. 12-22.
 
“The need for a large blood supply for transfusions is evident in both the script and in real life” says Gary Mitchell (producer of M*A*S*H and a member of the Riverwalk Theatre Board of Directors). “Riverwalk Theatre is delighted to be working with the Red Cross to encourage people to donate blood. This is a noble cause that benefits many.”
 
To schedule an appointment, call 1-800-RED CROSS or visit redcrossblood.org and use sponsor code: MDOC. Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are welcome as space permits. The discounted ticket vouchers will be distributed at the blood drive.
Vouchers are to be turned in at the Riverwalk Theatre box office in exchange for a discounted theatre ticket for M*A*S*H. Tickets for the performances are available at the door on a first-come first-served basis. To guarantee a seat (even with a voucher), call ahead for reservations at 482-5700.
