The Providence Journal praised Elemental’s “engaging,” “well-crafted” plays, and the Phoenix called it “as absorbing as a campfire tale.”

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.
