Again this year BCT Artistic Director, Matthew Cameron Clark, joins the creative team at the 7 Devils Playwright Conference in Mccall, Idaho. Each June writers, directors, dramaturgs and actors from around the country gather at the Alpine Playhouse in McCall for two weeks of rehearsals and workshops that bring together a diverse group of artists, students and community members all dedicated to the development of new plays. So if you are in McCall this weekend or the next we encourage you to check it out. The featured playwright is Sam Hunter author this last season’s main stage play NORWAY and 5×5 Reading THE WHALE. Sam is also writing a new play for BCT that will premiere in November 2011.

Tour-de-force is right!

I love that Dana Oland at The Statesman loved GOD’S EAR. What I love even more is that the extra plug in today paper calls Tracy Sunderland’s performance a tour-de-force. I couldn’t agree more. When I saw this play the first time in New York a year and a half ago, the idea that excited me most about producing it at BCT was seeing Tracy play Mel. If you are an aspiring actor or just someone who appreciates great acting in Boise, Idaho (or anywhere close) and you want to see an actor at the top of her game. Get down to BCT this weekend and watch Tracy shine.
The thrilling details…
Hello-
I finally find myself with some time to update the blog. Why? because I have been on the phone (mostly on hold) for more than an hour, trying to book a flight for Jeff Weatherford, the director of the new Lauren Weedman play NO…YOU SHUTUP. I want to poke out my optical Orbitz!
Breathe.
Otherwise, all is well. I go into a line-through in about an hour. If you don’t know, a line-through is like a pick-up rehearsal, a time to get the cast together after three days off and run the lines from the show. If you’ve seen GOD’S EAR, you know why a line-through is absolutely necessary. There isn’t a straight line in the script. It jumps around and loops back on itself in a way that makes our job as actors more than just a little more challenging.
If you haven’t seen the show yet, I’ll assume you have tickets already and are coming later in the run. Because, if you’ve made it this far into the BCT website, and don’t have a ticket, stop right now and buy some. Really, you have no excuse. It a beautiful show and we only have ten performances left.
Feel free to leave comments here about the play. I would love to have a conversation through this series of tubes about what we put on stage at BCT.
Thanks for stopping by.
-Matt
