2012 Library Traveling Show: Heart Of A Dog

Mark Flanders — 2012-10-27T06:00:00-08:00

2012 Library Traveling Show:
HEART OF A DOG by Mikhail Bulgakov
Adapted by Frank Galati�

Directed by Steve Stolee

OPENS OCTOBER 6, playing various venues through the month

��Heart of a Dog,� Frank Galati�s modern adaptation of Mikhail Bulgakov�s classic Soviet comedy, will tour libraries and theaters in Kitsap County October 6�27 in connection with the Kitsap Regional Library annual "One Book-One Community." Written as a reaction to the socialist revolution, �Heart of a Dog� is a wonderfully witty 1920s Russian comedy designed and directed by Steve Stolee, featuring a troupe of players led by I.T. veteran actor�Fred Saas and�performing in a commedia dell'arte-inspired spectacle. Admission is free (donations welcome) at all venues.� Due to the adult concepts and content of the play it is considered PG-13.

In the story, a Moscow medical rejuvenation specialist has made a successful career of restoring sexual prowess to an aging bourgeoisie. One evening, with aspirations of scientific greatness, the professor lures home a stray dog to be his latest test subject. The dog, like the proletariat, will put up with anything as long as his stomach is full. Then one day, the professor transplants human testes and a pituitary gland into Sharik, the dog, who sheds his hair and tail becoming Sharikov, the human, with a consuming taste for vodka, chasing women and politics.

In, Bulgakov had a good job�working alongside the famously revered stage director Constantin Stanislavsky in the Moscow Art Theatre and was well on his way to being a bestselling author and playwright. One of his plays was a favorite of Josef Stalin but his criticisms of the Soviet life led to censorship of his works. His 1925 play��Heart of a Dog,� takes issue with a housing crisis, healthcare reform and what it means to be human, and as a result, was denied publication in Russia for 40 years, and wasn't produced on stage until the late 1980s.

Since 2006 Island Theatre has toured the KRL county library branches with shows that connect with the KRL One Book-One Community events series held in the fall. The 2012 book selection is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks�about a woman whose remarkable cells, acquired without her consent, became extremely valuable tools in medical research�a story of the collision between ethics, race and medicine. What makes a man: Nature, or Nurture? HEART OF A DOG resonates with these themes and other current debates�philosophical and political�and spins them in a darkly fantastic and comical vein.

The Island Theatre traveling production, sponsored by Kitsap Regional Libraries, is designed and directed by Fred Saas and Steve Stolee, and will feature a company of performers in a commedia delle arte style spectacle. The tour will follow the pattern set in 2006 with the I.T. production of AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE and play at many KRL library branches, including Bainbridge, Poulsbo, Bremerton, and Manchester. This year the tour will include KRL sponsored performances at Bremerton Community Theatre, CSTOCK Theatre in Silverdale, and the Dragonfly Theater in Port Orchard.

The Haunting Of Hill House

Mark Flanders — 2012-10-19T06:00:00-08:00

CSTOCK Black Box Presents

Cut off from the outside world by its remote location and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley. Its isolation is broken by the arrival of Dr. Montague, an investigator of supernatural phenomena who has been granted a short lease by the present owner. His mission is to delve into the morbid history of the house and to come to grips with the occult forces that have made it uninhabitable for many years. He is joined by three others, all unacquainted, but all having their particular reasons for accepting Dr. Montague's invitation to share his Hill House sojourn. Their visit begins with jovial informality, but their sensibilities are soon jolted by strange and eerie occurrences. As they struggle to disguise their mounting fears they are joined by Dr. Montague's wife and a friend, who have come to Hill House for purposes of their own. They too are absorbed by the supernatural, but their approach is via direct communication with the departed spirits�a type of psychic research which is regarded fearfully by Dr. Montague and which, as subsequent events bear out, brings on a crisis in which the evil forces of Hill House are goaded to a new and, for one of those present, fatal fury.

HMS Pinafore

Mark Flanders — 2012-03-16T06:00:00-08:00

CSTOCK Black Box Presents

The fourth collaboration between Gilbert & Sullivan was their first blockbuster hit: "HMS Pinafore", or "The Lass That Loved a Sailor." This opera opened May 28, 1878 at the Opera Comique. It ran for 571 performances and became a huge fad in England, as well as in America, being copied illegally by dozens of performing companies in the US, as well as being presented there by Gilbert, Sullivan and Carte themselves. Pinafore is among the most popular Gilbert and Sullivan operas, perhaps because of its infectious tunes and generally well-constructed libretto.

Drawing on several of his earlier "bab ballad" poems, Gilbert embued HMS Pinafore with mirth and silliness to spare. The opera's gentle satire reprises and builds upon one of The Sorcerer's themes: Love between members of different social classes. The gentlemanly Captain of the Pinafore, who claims that he would never swear at his crew (What, Never?), does not know that his daughter has fallen in love with a common sailor serving on her father's ship. Meanwhile, the Captain has arranged for her to marry the First Lord of the Admiralty, Sir Joseph Porter. Sir Joseph himself has risen from humble beginnings to gain his office by political acumen, despite having never gone to sea! And the Captain himself fancies a poor bumboat woman. Fear not: it all works out in the end. Hip, hip, hoorah!
