eNews: The annual Phoenix Fringer Edition

The last lazy days of summer reap some of Victoria's most fun theatre rewards... Intrepid Theatre's annual Victoria Fringe Festival! We're pleased to once again offer our Phoenix Fringe round up of all the students and alumni who have created, are acting in, designing or stage managing shows in this year's festival. As well, we're proud to start the Phoenix season off in October by also focusing on our theatre graduates and presenting their work on our own stages. Read on to hear about our entire 2014/15 season.

Behind the Scenes: Alumni show starts of popular Phoenix season

The Phoenix Theatre has a great reason to be excited about their upcoming season of plays. Why? With subscriptions already up 20% over last year at this time, it's obvious that our audiences are ALREADY excited about it! Here are the plays that audience members are booking into in droves.

Starting in October with our annual "Spotlight on Alumni", we present The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe featuring Mack Gordon (BFA'08) and Kaitlin Williams (BFA'09). This creative, two-person play, retells the much-loved story of the Pevensie children who journey through the doors of an old wardrobe and into the land of Narnia. However this adaptation has a bit of a twist. Now adults, Peter and Lucy return to the attic where, years before, their adventure began, and relive their memories of Narnia, performing all the roles of characters they meet along the way, including Mr. Tumnus, the Beaver family, the evil White Witch and the mighty lion Aslan. It's storytelling at it's best! This adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel has been presented to much acclaim by the Pacific Theatre in Vancouver each winter. Mack and Kaitlin have performed this show for two of those years and toured the play across BC last December. The two alumni met here at UVic's theatre department and married a couple of years ago. We're really looking forward to having Mack and Kaitlin return to their Alma Mater!

In November, director, actor and faculty member Fran Gebhard relives some memories of her own as she presents her vision for Shakespeare's romantic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream. In the 1970s, Fran spent a few months living in New York City and absorbed changing and sometimes clashing cultures between the waning flower-power generation and the uprising of punk rockers. She's harnessing these experiences, and adding a little magic of her own, in the setting for Shakespeare's most poetic play. The two pairs of lovers in "Dream" will find themselves wondering through Central Park and Greenwich Village. In this "Faces of UVic Research" video, Fran talks about her love of post-modern Shakespeare where the Bard's centuries-old words are recontexutalized into contemporary culture. So interesting!

In February, movement professor Conrad Alexandrowicz will direct one of Canada's more recent masterpieces. Playwright Judith Thompson's award-winning Lion in the Streets is an engaging look at the dark side of humanity through the eyes of Isobel, a frightened nine-year-old Portuguese girl who is lost in a Toronto neighbourhood. While it deals with some difficult subject matter, Thompson's work also shows us the redemptive power of forgiveness. Conrad loves to direct works with a strong sense of social commentary. He also directed the 2012 Phoenix production of Brecht's The Good Person of Setzuan.

The season closes next March with Amadeus, the Tony Award-winning play, and much loved Academy Award-winning movie, about the musical genius Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and his jealous rival Antonio Salieri. (One has only to think of the movie and actor Tom Hulce's hilarious high-pitched laugh springs into your head!) MFA Director Chari Arespacochaga, who hails from the Philippines where she directed touring Broadway productions, wants to emphasize the psychological aspects of the play which is partially set in an ancient insane asylum and partially takes place in Salieri's imagination.

If you, like all of our other subscribers, are interested booking in for 3 or 4 of these plays, click here to learn how you can go to all of them for only $48 or choose your favourite 3 shows for $36.
