Curtainless Oedipus at Colonus Friday

8/25/2020

0 Comments

 
The Curtainless Theatre is thrilled to present the next installment of The Oedipus Cycle: 
Oedipus at Colonus. 
Streaming live on our Facebook page at 8 pm on Friday, August 28, this second part of Sophocles' classic trilogy catches up with the tragic Oedipus many years after the events of Oedipus Rex. 

Having been thrust from his home and kingdom in Thebes, Oedipus finds himself a wayfarer in Athens, where he rests on a rock near the town of Colonus. Reflecting on fate, guilt, treachery and friendship, Oedipus spends his final hours with his daughters. When a haunting figure from his past returns to take his daughters away, Oedipus looks to Theseus of Athens for aid.

Directed by Dale Wayne Williams with technical direction by Cody Skalmowski, the cast features a host of Lansing area favorites, including transplants Jordan Climie in Detroit and Monica Holland in Boston. Those who tuned in to our production of Oedipus Rex will see some familiar faces in the cast, including Tim Edinger returning as Oedipus and Joe Clark continuing in the role of Creon (joined this time around by his fiancee Kate Dickinson!).

This event is Free, but donations are encouraged and very much appreciated: paypal.me/curtainlesstheatre

Note: this play contains sensitive material that may not be suitable for all ages. Parental guidance suggested.

Note from Jane: You can check out the “prequel” Oedipus Rex, at Curtainelss Theatre’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/search/videos/?q=the curtainless theatre

As a “classics-challenged” viewer, I recommend checking out the Cliff’s Notes version, in advance. You can also review summaries of the previous “Oedipus” and the subsequent “Antigone” at this site: https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/o/the-oedipus-trilogy/play-summary/oedipus-at-colonus

Jeff Daniels is probably best known to audiences as a film, television, and stage actor, from his Emmy-winning roles in Netflix’s Godlessand the HBO seriesThe Newsroom to the popular film series Dumb and Dumber.He also received a Tony® nominee for his recent year-long role on Broadway as Atticus Finch inTo Kill A Mockingbird. Most don’t realize Daniel’s is also talented playwright, musician, lyricist, and storyteller, with nearly four hundred songs, three hundred live gigs and engagements, and five albums to his name. His songwriting continually draws favorable comparison to Arlo Guthrie, and the late John Prine and Steve Goodman.

“We are thrilled to present this virtual concert with Jeff Daniels,” says Wharton Center Executive Director Mike Brand. “The last time we presented Jeff, back in November of 2017, demand was so great we added another show. He is a wonderful musician and great story-teller.”

Daniels has shared the stage with Lyle Lovett, John Hiatt, Joe Ely, Cheryl Wheeler, Guy Clark, Christine Lavin, Keb Mo’ and Bruce Hornsby. He performed at David Bromberg’s 70th Birthday Bash at NYC’s Town Hall. In 2012, the Martin Guitar Company began selling the OM Jeff Daniels Custom Artist Edition Guitar. He also narrated their award-winning documentary, The Ballad Of The Dreadnought.

For more information call 517.775.4246 or email mailto:ixionensemble@gmail.com. 

Note: recent Facebook troubles have resulted in a resend of the erroneous Thur-Sat dates. I am assured that the Fri-Sun dates are correct. One of the performers tells us "The show will last about 2.5 hours. It does have strong language in some of the monologues, so beware of that."
Excited to see a New Real Live Show in PERson again! See you there opening night?
