(February 6, 2014; Lansing, MI)--Newly formed theatre group, Ixion, makes its local debut with a series of staged readings in the Lansing area. These readings are part of the development process for four new plays collected under the title of The Four Disgracers. Admission to all readings is free and audience members are encouraged to participate in a talk back afterwards.
The staged readings will be Mondays (TONIGHT)
• February 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Capital Area District Library Downtown location
• February 24 at 7:00 p.m. in Room 12 of the Michigan State University Theatre Building
• March 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Capital Area District Library Downtown location
The Four Disgracers are meditations on engravings by the 16th Century Dutch engraver, Hendrick Goltzius. The engravings represent four fallen figures from Greek mythology: Icarus, Ixion, Phaeton and Tantalus. (More information on the engravings can be found here: http://www.dia.org/auxiliaries/5/23/GAC/recent-acquisitions.aspx.
The four scripts are being written by local playwrights and actors: Sarah Hauck, Oralya Garza, A.S. Freeman and Brad Rutledge. Each has taken a myth or its meaning and developed a contemporary story based upon it.
The staged reading is being coordinated by Ixion Artistic Director, jeff croff. jeff returns to the Lansing theatre community after a three year hiatus. He was formerly the artistic director for Icarus Falling Theatre Ensemble, which had a ten year run in Lansing.
