MSU Behind the Scenes Class

3/18/2025

0 Comments

 
 Please Join Us for Another Free “Behind the Scenes” Class
After the wonderful turnout at the recent class on the musical “9 to 5”, the MSU Friends of Theatre and MSU Department of Theatre, in collaboration with our hosts at The Peoples Church of East Lansing, are pleased to offer a second free “Behind the Scenes” class, a discussion of the student production of 
“Decision Height” by playwright Meredith Danya Levy
“BEHIND THE SCENES” is composed of two discussion sessions separated by a one-week opportunity to attend a performance of “Decision Height” at Studio 60 on Auditorium Rd on the MSU Campus. 
  • Our initial class will focus on the background of the show and the rehearsal process.  The presenters will discuss the Storefront model that is used for the play.  Dramaturg Addy Vanderbilt and Assistant Director Rileigh Wine will lead the discussion.  The class will be held at Peoples Church on Thursday, March 27, 2025, from 3:00-5:00 pm.
  • Class participants will have a one-week opportunity to attend the play at MSU’s Studio 60, located on the lower level of the Auditorium building, on the day and time of their choosing (details are below). Parking is available across the street from Auditorium building.
  • A second discussion-style class will be held at Peoples Church on Thursday, April 10, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm, after the play closes. Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with actors involved in the production; this always promises to be a lively discussion. 
  • Although classes are free, registration is required. Please submit this REGISTRATION FORM: https://forms.office.com/r/VFHdjP7q3K  to secure a spot. If you have any questions, please contact Kath Clark at [email protected] or (517) 884-7796. Seating is limited.  
Peoples Church is at 200 Grand River Ave, East Lansing. Classes are in the Robertson Room. Free parking, including handicapped spaces, is available on the west side of the church. The Church is handicapped accessible.
Since the show run is short and the theater is the smallest one at MSU, the Department of Theatre is offering a chance to attend the dress rehearsal on Monday evening, March 31.  A donation of $10, payable at the door, would be appreciated. The play runs from April 1 to 5.  To purchase tickets to the play, go to WHARTON CENTER or call the Ticket Office at (517) 432-2000 or toll-free at 1-800-WHARTON.  The cheapest way to purchase tickets is to go in person to the Wharton Center or to buy at the time of the performance when tickets will be $10.  If you order online at Wharton Center.com the cost is $13.  Tickets purchased by calling Wharton Center are $20.
Class Organizers: Carol Bryson, Sam Austin, and Joan Mattson; Faculty Collaborators: Rob Roznowski and Kirk Domer. 
PLAY SYNOPSIS:
Amidst the chaos of war, Virginia has left home to become a Woman Airforce Service Pilot during World War II.  As she faces a pivotal decision that will change her life forever, “Decision Height” tells an unforgettable story of bravery, sacrifice and sisterhood, shining light on a courageous group of unrecognized American Heroes.

One Night Only — and it’s Valentine’s Day! 
A romantic and silly cheap date for your Day of Love
Audio Air Force performance of Live Radio Show — Acts of Love 3.0 - with all the fun sound effects in full view.
7pm at E. L. Hannah Center
$10 at the door; general seating

Everyone’s favorite emcee, Matt Ottinger, will provide humorous/sarcastic and/or poetic commentary — as well as a brief but poignant portrayal of Millard Filmore in the script where President’s Day and Valentine’s Day morph together to recruit dead presidents for dating advice.

Other new scripts in this collection answer the burning questions:

Can zombie-fighting video-game AI characters escape the game for love?

How would a hierarchy of angels fare in a Glengarry-Glen-Ross performance review?

Can the sensible sister save her silly smitten sis from a sacrificial wedding to Satan at Bob’s Bargain Bridal Shoppe?

Is The Love Boat a cult?

What does it take to flip a middle-aged couple’s romantic perspective in a coffee shop? 
(That last script I wrote! I’m excited to hear it performed by the stellar Jim Coyer and Rachel Mender!)

Playwrights: Patti Spinner, John & Michelle Jackson, Debbie Lundeen, Tom Cantrell, Jonathan Ritz, Jane Zussman

Performers: Josh Bliss, Holly Kay Cannon, Tom Cantrell, Maria Cook, Jim Coyer, John Jackson, Michelle Jackson, Hollie Lane, Steve Ledyard, Bobby Maldonado, Rachel Mender, Matt Ottinger, Lynne Peacock, Morgan Pohl, Tony Radebaugh, Sandy Thomasson, Patti Spinner,  Jane Zussman, Mark Zussman

Jan Lockwood joins Gordon on the heavenly stage

1/15/2025

0 Comments

 
As we plan to attend dear friend Gordon Hicks Clarks’ Karaoke Memorial at 7pm tonight at One North on West Saginaw, I’m also remembering yet another Theatre Stalwart.

This one has been a Community Circle Players supporter from way back to the Okemos Barn days, and an active volunteer at Riverwalk up to recent times. Jan Lockwood left the planet December 30 at the age of 84. I’m assuming it was complications from her pulmonary sarcoidosis. Thanks to Mike Siracuse for sharing with me this post by Jan’s daughter in law:

​"Almost 13 years ago at our wedding (Eric and Cindy Lockwood) Janet Jordan Lockwood told me this is the photo she wanted to be remembered by when she passed. With great sadness, that day is today (December 30).  After a slow, steady decline following her son Matt Lockwoods death in May 2023 and a more rapid decline in the last few weeks, Jan was hospitalized December 26 and passed early this morning. She was a force of nature, great mom and grandma, supportive friend and the very best mother in law. She was an avid reader, a political and theater hound and sports fan. Funny and pragmatic to the end, she was cheered that she wouldn't be alive for another Trump presidency. Matt and Jan were huge Lions fans and we are hoping that by joining forces in the beyond, this will be the year they win the Super Bowl. Rest in peace Queen."

I don’t have any info on memorial service or donation instructions, though Jan is on the Estes Leadley site https://estesleadley.com/obituaries/janet-j-lockwood/ which promises a full obituary to come — but I will be donating to Riverwalk, which seems appropriate considering her history. See Matt Ottinger’s wonderful database http://lansingtheatre.org/Lansing/JanLockwood and know that her history goes back even further than Matt’s info —to the 70’s at least… maybe 60s?. If you send a check to Riverwalk, PO Box 12249 with “in memory of Jan Lockwood” on the memo line, Jan and her donors will be listed in programs for a year.

Lustful Youth - new farce coming to Riverwalk

1/6/2025

0 Comments

 
Riverwalk Theatre is preparing to open the fast-paced comedy, "Lustful Youth." This riotous farce features a small cast of skilled actors all playing multiple parts. The show opens on January 9th and runs through the 19th.

When TV statistician Walt (TJ Kelly) is contracted by his boss Tony (Lewis Elson) to create a hit soap opera, he's given conditions meant to push the show out as fast as possible and guarantee a network hit: One, the show must include broad subjects that everyone likes. Two, nothing that is written into the show may be unwritten; mistakes must be written around. With the help of his muse, Dill (Rachel Steffens), he writes the bizarre soap opera "Lustful Youth,” creating outrageous caricatures inspired by real people in his life. Soon the lines between fiction and reality blur and chaos ensues. Do people like the show? Will Walt find success? Also, why the heck are there pirates? Tune in on January 9th to find out!
“R.I.P. Shakespeare. You would have loved Lustful Youth.” - Rachel Steffens (Dill). Lustful Youth is a larger-than-life romance, with violence, and comedy. First-time director Kait Wilson has typically music directed or acted in shows in the past. She was inspired to direct Lustful Youth after joining an improv troupe in 2010 run by the show’s playwright, Mike Eserkaln, and subsequently viewing Mike’s production of the show. Wilson is thrilled that both the cast and crew are dedicated to breathing life into her uproarious vision.

“Lustful Youth is a ridiculous comedy that manages to be over-the-top and heartwarming at the same time. The actors have the characters to life in their own unique and creative ways, and the production team has been completely committed to making sure all of the theatrical elements work together to help tell this hysterical story. Riverwalk Theatre is an amazing and supportive community and I’m privileged to be able to contribute to their 36th Season!”

This cast is full of well-known Lansing performers, all incredibly talented in their own right. TJ Kelly is well-cast as the Walter, , doing everything he can to write something people will enjoy. The small size of the cast enables every supporting
performers to shine, each playing multiple characters. For instance, Lewis Elson flawlessly swaps between British and American accents to differentiate between Walter’s boss “Tony,” and Lustful Youth’s character “Jake I.” Allison Meyer shows off her wide acting range as well, playing both Tony’s timid intern, “Deb,” and “May,” the stereotypical soap opera “sexpot” character on Lustful Youth.

Friendly faces can be seen backstage as well, with Riverwalk’s favorite Matt Ottinger in charge of sound design. Costume Anna and Kristine Maier have been having fun putting together a wide variety of costumes, ranging from typical office wear to over-the-top pirate garb. 
The show includes both intimacy and violence so actors need to get comfortable trusting one another onstage. Thankfully, the physical and emotional safety of these actors is supported by Connor Kelly, fight choreographer, as well as Shannon Bowen, intimacy coordinator. These two play a large role in making sure the moments that look the most unscripted are both safe and predictable for those involved with production.

Lustful Youth won’t be a show you want to miss! With a little bit of something for everyone, the show manages to be both funny, and strangely touching. Grab those tickets now!

Show Dates:
Thursday, January 9th, 7:00 P.M.
Friday, January 10th, 8:00 P.M.
Saturday, January 11th, 8:00 P.M.
Sunday, January 12th, 2:00 P.M.
