On Stage

I really loved to play this character. I've just finished my second show and I'm really happy. It went very well and I'm glad to be part of this theatre academy 🎭🌟

This just came up in Facebook memories for this day.

It's me (Ian) and Berit, this week in 2017, less than a month before we got tipsy one afternoon and came up with Life With Althaar, after a big Gemini CollisionWorks company meeting to discuss our Fall season and future plans (including the possibility of an audio series). In our Batman '66 "HENCHMAN" shirts -- as we say, "the Master of all is the Henchman of all."

Berit says that in all our "formal" portraits like this we look partly like NYC downtown artists and otherwise like carnies or owners of a biker bar.

What productions has your theatre company done recently? Do you have pictures?

:D

I sure do!

So the production I was most heavily involved in (so far) was a show called The Kornilov Affair, which was a two-act comedy written, rehearsed, and performed in under two months at the beginning of 2022. It was kind of one of the most insane but also rewarding shows I've ever been a part of. I wrote the book and lyrics and helped to compose the songs, as well as performed in the ensemble (that's me in the back left)!

If you're interested in reading the play, it's available on New Play Exchange!

More recently, we did a production of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, which was super fun and very cool!

We're a tiny theatre company, but we have our own space, which means that we do a lot of things other than theatre in order to be able to keep the doors open. I really like it because anyone can come in and use our space for a performance, so we've done comedy, music, play readings, benefit events, and so much more! Our primary education program at the moment is improv, but we're planning on expanding into playwriting, intimacy coordination, and potentially burlesque and drag classes.

(This was from a production of the wish, which is a play about abortion rights, that we did in November to raise money for our local abortion access funds)

I'm especially excited for the beginning of 2023, because we'll be devising another show, and this one's going to be a full musical! I'm heading up the writing again. We're also putting on a production of The Fantasticks in February and have a lot more in store for the rest of the year!

I think our theatre stands out from other theatre companies because of our openness. If someone wants to do something, we'll provide as much space and support as we can to make it happen. We are also dedicated to paying our artists for every performance, which is where most of our financial need comes from. As of now, we're only able to provide payment after performances by taking out a percentage of ticket sales, but we would love to be able to pay people before they start the work so that they are able to have something to support themselves with while they make art.

Basically, it's a really special little place with a lot of new and original art coming out of it! If anyone is in the Iowa Corridor, please come on down and check us out!

In university studying a director that used techniques and endurance work that was pretty harsh on his actors.

Shocking no one I learnt today that he has accusations of being abusive to his actors

Why do we let these people do this, it’s so clear what the outcome will be.

Theatre companies > directors

Collaboration is always better on your created than a dictatorial director

Theatre Doesn't Have to Be Toxic

My theatre company is over twenty years old. I guess I've realized some things I wish I'd known in those early years. #theatre #CreativeProcess

Once upon a time in New York City, my friends and I started a theatre company. We’d have readings and rehearsals at our apartments. We made molds for masks in my kitchen. We had snacks and drinks and a generally lovely time. We wrote our first fundraising letter at Yaffa Café in the East Village and rubbed one of their buddha statues’ bellies for luck. The bumps in the road were quickly smoothed…
