“Even the way they dovetail each other’s thoughts in a discussion confirms that “collaborative” is a key part of their company chemistry. All graduates of the Trinity MFA program, they’ve stumbled on one of those lucky synergies that makes artistic magic, and they’re running with it.”

This year’s production, the father, the son and the holy go.go, draws its title from the seven Catholic Sacraments, which were randomly assigned to the three playwrights. The playwrights used their chosen sacraments to inform the plays as they wrote them, and were given the additional challenge of setting the plays in a common location. The setting, chosen at random from a hat full of suggestions, was a cabin.

As a play, Peter Shaffer’s Amadeus has more than its share of theatrical muscle: Strong and compelling characters, an absorbing storyline, clever structure, and a pretty classy soundtrack. The playwright’s film adaptation couldn’t much improve on the stage potential. It’s heartening to see that going in the opposite direction budget-wise, from big screen to church auditorium, doesn’t have to lose anything essential. Elemental Theatre is putting it on at Providence’s Beneficent Congregational Church, and the production is exquisite.

This is a shoe-string production, to be sure, with very little in the way of sets and embellishments. But it is also a powerful production, with excellent leads and the addition of live music, rather than the usual taped sound track.

At the Trinity Rep Conservatory – now Brown/Trinity Rep – MFA candidates learn the technique of acting through voice, movement, dance and scene study. But the most important lesson students learn is that they are responsible for their own professional and artistic development.

Max and D’Arcy brought up the idea of having open rehearsals during the rehearsal process for Amadeus. My first response was “Yeah, sure, why not?”
Last night we were able to be in Perishable Theatre for a tech run, and the cast expanded visibly in the space. It was amazing to see their performances grow in size, to hear the music fill the room, and to see them dashing madly to find foley props in time for their cues.
Tonight the whole cast assembled to start learning the music of Recession! (The Musical).
Sitting amidst the remains of burritos from Tacqueria Pacifica and mugs of Lapsang Souchon – which, according to Kevin, smells like Band Aids – we made our way through the six songs that Dave and Peter have written for the show.
We started [...]
