Twelfth Night presents A…My Name is Alice
Youngstown tenant organization Twelfth Night Productions recently held their run of Private Eyes in the Youngstown Thelma Dewitty Theater. They will be opening their next show, A…My Name is Alice, at Kenyon Hall in April. Check out the post below, written by Twelfth Night’s Anna Cronin, to learn more about what TNP is up to!
Twelfth Night Productions, by Anna Cronin:
Twelfth Night Productions (TNP) is busy planning and preparing for our spring and summer productions, as well as working with our student playwrights for our upcoming Young Playwrights reading at Youngstown.
For five years running, TNP has been invited to participate in ACT’s Young Playwright’s Program. Fostering the next generation of artists and performers is a central component to the Twelfth Night Productions’ mission and we are thrilled to participate in this opportunity for young playwrights. Staged readings will be held on May 14th at 7:00 pm at Youngstown with Jasmine Joshua directing. “This program has really helped me to find out more about myself. The more I write, I discover connections between each piece and that’s when I realize, wow, this is what I’m interested in, this is who I am,” Si Jia Yu, Roosevelt High School. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear and support our upcoming artists.
Following a successful run of Private Eyes at Youngstown in February, TNP will be producing A… My Name is Alice at Kenyon Hall in April, performed by women of different ages and types in a wide variety of situations and relationships with insight, empathy and self-deprecating humor. From the horrors of parent/teacher conferences, the delights of a male strip club, to the tragedy of losing a parent, the show explores the many facets of women’s lives through scenes, monologues and songs.
A… MY NAME IS ALICE will be presented at Kenyon Hall (7904 35th Ave SW)
April 4, 5, 11 and 12 at 7:30 PM and April 6 and 13 at 5 PM.
Tickets are $18 for adults and $15 for students and seniors.
You can purchase tickets online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/595658 or at the door up to an hour before show-time. Called “a bundle of laughs,” by the New York Post and “delightful” by the New York Times, A… My Name is Alice is a musical revue conceived by Joan Micklin Silver and Julianne Boyd. It won the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Revue and consists of some 21 songs by composers David Zippel, Winnie Holzman, and Lucy Simon, along with sketches by writers like Anne Meara. The delightful and thought provoking show features songs and sketches performed by women of different ages and types in a wide variety of situations and relationships with insight, empathy and self-deprecating humor. From the horrors of parent/teacher conferences, the delights of a male strip club, to the tragedy of losing a parent, the show explores the many facets of women’s lives through scenes, monologues and songs.
Stay tuned for our summer production, Hello Dolly! with auditions to begin in May.
