Artist's Lab: Beyond the Surface
This fall ReVamp Collective introduces its first Artist Lab, an opportunity for local theatre artists to connect, collaborate and create. Entitled “Beyond the Surface,” this arts incubator will pair two theatre artists of various mediums together to create an original piece based on the Grimm’s fairy tale “Snow-White and Rose-Red,” a story that explores themes of perception, sisterhood and kindness. Over a three-month period, the artists will work together to create a brand-new theatrical work based on the story, using the strengths of their artistic mediums, culminating in performances. November 2017 Plays & Players Theatre 1714 Delancey Street, Philadelphia Co-Produced by Plays & Players Theatre Plays & Players thanks the Wyncote Foundation and Philadelphia Cultural Fund for their continued support. |

The Helen Project
by: Kristen M. Scatton Rediscover the woman behind the face that launched a thousand ships. The Helen Project is a brand-new, full-length one-act play that mixes elements of classical Greek drama (use of a chorus, simple staging) with modern storytelling. It's an ensemble-based piece; the actor playing Helen in each scene changes, to represent the many forms that beauty can take, and show the many facets of this complex woman who's been portrayed as largely one-dimensional throughout history. WHEN: June 2018 WHERE: Plays & Players Theatre 1714 Delancey Street, Philadelphia Co-Produced by Plays & Players Theatre Plays & Players thanks the Wyncote Foundation and Philadelphia Cultural Fund for their continued support. |
