Tennessee Repertory Theatre Needs YOU! If Tennessee Rep can raise $100,000 by February 28, it will be matched dollar for dollar through a special grant being offered by an anonymous arts philanthropist.

The current economic crisis has impacted not-for-profit arts organizations all of over our nation. All customary revenue sources are in sudden and substantial decline, and the future of Tennessee Repertory Theatre could be in jeopardy. Despite the challenges we face in the current economy, Tennessee Rep has a unique opportunity. 

Please donate now by going to this link: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=flow&SESSION=OykrhF4xgqXs3jtda6XQt0bbLMdfv4DagrdeRKpW9B9bF6o0h5Mj9a4QPju&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f9fecf49521b3f5afc18ba9034b1c79cbd5929eac28412d99
Any amount you give, whether $10 or $10,000, will make a difference—in fact, it will have double the impact.

"A thousand people giving $25 in support is just as good as one person giving $25,000. Every dollar is going to count in this effort to keep live theatre viable and vibrant in Middle Tennessee," said Ed Benson, president of Tennessee Rep's board of directors.

You can provide added impact by forwarding information to your friends, co-workers, and contacts, wherever they may be.  Tennessee Rep needs support not just from Nashvillians but from supporters of live, professional theatre everywhere!

FINAL WEEK

Don't Miss The Santaland Diaries

He wears a yellow turtleneck... a forest green velvet smock... and a perky hat decorated with spangles.  This is his work uniform.  It frightens him.

 

Tennessee Repertory Theatre's production of The Santaland Diaries runs through Saturday, December 20.  Don't miss David Sedaris' sardonic look at portraying an elf at Macy's in New York City during the bustling holiday season.  It's enough to erode the spirit of even the most earnest elf.

 

The critically-acclaimed and hilarious Matt Chiorini returns to don the ears of the elf.

Tennessee Rep 2008-2009 Workshops
"Sundays with the Rep"

Tennessee Rep is thrilled to introduce 35 arts enrichment workshops to its 08-09 season. Workshop instructors are leading professionals in the Nashville area who offer a wide variety of artistic experience. Workshop categories include acting, auditions, combat, dialects, makeup, movement/dance, TV/film, technical theatre, voice, and other (playwriting, producing). Each class is designed for high school age and above. Workshops will take place on Sunday afternoons, October through May.

The workshop calendar, workshop descriptions, instructor bios and registration form can be found on our website: http://tennesseerep.org/workshop_intro.php

*November Workshops*

MOVEMENT/DANCE

Viewpoints
Sunday, November 9; 1:00-4:00pm; maximum participants: 20
Instructor: Claire Syler
Viewpoints is a technique of improvisation that grew out of the postmodern dance world. It was first articulated by choreographer Mary Overlie who broke down the two dominant issues performers deal with—time and space—into six categories. She called her approach the Six Viewpoints. Since that time, Artistic Director Anne Bogart and SITI Company have expanded her notions and adapted them for actors. The Viewpoints allows a group of actors to function together spontaneously and intuitively and to generate bold, theatrical work quickly. It develops flexibility, articulation, and strength in movement and makes ensemble playing really possible. 3 hours.
Cost: $35

TECH

What? I Have to Do Costumes, Too?
Sunday, November 16; 1:00-4:00pm; maximum participants: 15
Instructor: Trish Clark
This workshop will explore that frightening question of how to get organized for a big show on a small budget. Tennessee Rep Resident Costume Designer Trish Clark will discuss possibilities for making resources stretch as far as they will go to make a professional-quality production. Participants will learn about costume plots, organizing volunteers, conducting show-specific research, and costume rentals. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions to a resident costume designer and glean advice for their specific shows. The workshop will provide artists with the knowledge for making good design decisions. 3 hours.
Cost: $35

Stagecraft 101
Sunday, November 30; 1:00-5:00pm; maximum participants: 8
Instructor: Jonathan Hammel
This workshop will cover basic MIG welding, flat/platform construction, and other basic carpentry used when creating sets for theatrical productions. 4 hours.
Cost: $40

VOICE

Introduction to Voice & Diction for the Stage
Sunday, November 16; 1:00-5:00pm; maximum participants: 20
Instructor: David Alford
This workshop will present the basics on warming up, the mechanics of good vocal production, how everything works in there, tips for good vocal health, group exercises, stretches to physically "free the voice," etc. Another goal will be to identify individual problem areas and recommend what to seek help/work on. 4 hours.
Cost: $40


*December Workshops*

ACTING

Tableaux: Artful Specificity
Sunday, December 7; 1:00-4:00pm; maximum participants: 20
Instructors: Robert Kiefer, Carol Ponder
Tableaux are windows into the world of theatre. Relying mostly on body language and physical interpretations of events and emotions rather than words, they're often less intimidating than other types of improvisatory theatre work. They also allow actors—inexperienced or old hands—the opportunity to experience or remember what it feels like to make very specific choices about posture, breath, gesture, center-of-gravity placement, balance, focus, and intention: things that make the difference between a stellar and an adequate performance. Participants will be guided through several types of tableaux (single, sequential, moving, with and without words) starting from various stimuli (photographs, paintings, and abstract concepts). Actors will take away new habits of mind and body to help them create their next on-stage characters in vivid, revealing detail. 3 hours. Cost: $35

COMBAT

Broadsword: 14's a Crowd
Sunday, December 21; 1:00-5:00pm; maximum participants: 14
Instructor: David Wilkerson
This workshop will focus on the basics of broadsword combat: movement, parries, attacks, special moves, etc. In the second half, we'll focus on the unique skills required by the group fight. Ever dreamed of being Conan hacking through a horde of enemies? Well, now's your chance! 4 hours. Cost: $45

OTHER

Producing 101
Sunday, December 14; 1:00-5:00pm; maximum participants: 25
Instructor: David Alford
The basics of how to set up production companies, the realistic costs involved, the realistic time commitments involved, the ins and outs of finding a space, advertising, etc.—A primer for people who want to get their own vision out there and are tired of waiting. 4 hours. Cost: $35

TECH

Fun with Caulk
Sunday, December 7; 1:00-3:00pm; maximum participants: 12
Instructor: Gary C. Hoff
Is your set missing that extra bit of detail that would take it from just okay to great? Join us for a workshop in how to create dimensional decoration with everyday latex caulk. This simple technique can turn ordinary molding, furniture, and props into something really unique. With a standard tube of white latex caulk, a caulk gun, and some simple steps you can be on your way. 2 hours. Cost: $50 (includes a $20 materials fee)

Scene Painting Basics: Wood & Stone
Sunday, December 14; 1:00-4:00pm; maximum participants: 8
Instructor: Erica Edmondson
This hands-on workshop will begin with a complete introduction to the tools and materials common in theatrical scenic painting. An explanation of basic techniques will be given, and participants will use demonstrated skills to create four different samples to take home. Participants will also be given a basic brush set and printed handouts. 3 hours. Cost: $55 (includes a $20 materials fee)

TV/FILM

Auditioning for the Camera
Sunday, December 14; 1:00-5:00pm; maximum participants: 16

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to work on camera and receive direction in the takes and feedback in the review. Each participant will receive information to take home with tons of tips, advice, local acting websites, books to read, union info, and agency contact information. 4 hours. Cost: $50

By EVANS DONNELL • For The Tennessean • October 5, 2008

The Tennessee Repertory Theatre's solid production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street is worth seeing.

A portion of Tennessee Performing Arts Center's Johnson Theater has been transformed into a gloomy, brownish-gray 19th century London for this intimate revival of Stephen Sondheim and Hugh Wheeler's 1979 musical masterwork. There's wicked fun to be had with this tale of a wronged man seeking revenge with a razor, and director Rene D. Copeland's production makes the most of it.

Much has been written about Sweeney Todd since Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury led a cast across the Uris Theatre's vast expanse nearly 30 years ago — a production that possessed a wonderfully melodramatic, darkly comedic, delightfully bloody Grand Guignol structure, story and score.

That multiple Tony Award-winning original, and a subsequent national tour with Lansbury and George Hearn that was also recorded for television, were enormously-staged shows with parts of an iron foundry on stage. A 1989 New York revival by York Theatre Company made it clear Sweeney Todd worked well on a smaller scale, too. A smash 2005 Broadway reimagining was essentially a chamber music-styled performance with 10 actors doubling as orchestra players.

The Rep's production takes from the best of the large and small approaches. Gary C. Hoff's well-crafted set design, and elements of costume by Trish Clark, technical staging by Jonathan Hammel and lighting by Michael Barnett give us appropriately scaled-down reminders of this work's early mountings.

But Copeland's intimate staging at the Johnson, her 10-member cast and lead actors Lane Davies and Martha Wilkinson's interpretations of their characters remind us of how this work has progressed through theater circles over three decades.

Davies plays the title character as a hollow man, clearly embittered and left without desire for anything but revenge against an evil judge (Matthew Carlton) who sent him to a penal colony on a trumped up charge years before. He knows how to smile when that's required, but beneath the smile is a contemptuous sneer for a world that no longer holds hope.

Wilkinson's Mrs. Lovett has a wicked sense of humor, but longs for love from Sweeney so desperately that her attempts to woo him are both funny and supremely sad. She's bawdy, but there is engaging pathos alongside the vulgarity.

Their firm foundation is well-supported by Carlton, Patrick Waller, Brooke Bryant, Zachary Hess, Bobby Wyckoff, Holly Wooten, Samuel Whited and Marguerite Lowell. Two particularly moving moments stand out — Hess's beautiful rendition of the love ballad Johanna and Waller's shining contribution to the Not While I'm Around duet he has with Wilkinson. The fine singing voices in this cast make the show a pleasure on the ear while their solid acting makes it entertaining.

There's also fine musicianship from the orchestra led by Timothy Fudge. They remind us there's no good substitute for live players.

Yes, there's no place like London, to borrow from one of the show's songs, and there's no show like Sweeney Todd. Catch it while you can.
