The Post You've Been Waiting For...

Next year's shows!

Sorry it has taken so long, we just needed to get a few things confirmed. Here they are!

In Fall 2012, we'll be performing

The Comedy of Errors

Directed by Jennifer L.

Stage Manager: Maddy Austin

Assistant Stage Manager: Anu Goedhart

In Spring 2013, we'll be performing

Twelfth Night

Directed by Emily Williams

Assistant Directed by Raminta Holden

The Women by Clare Boothe Luce

Directed by Sarah Gilmour

Luckily all of these shows have movie adaptations/parodies that you can spend some quality time watching while you wait for the exciting school year to begin. Some are better than others. This of course go without saying, but we here at SPT always always advise that you read the plays before auditioning or even doing crew, so you can do that too. I'll post the edited scripts over in a link in the doobly-doo to the right (labeled Online Scripts) when I get them.

I'll also post the audition pieces for tCoE when I get them, probably sometime in the middle of August before we head back to school. So sit tight for that.

There's also something brewing in the distance of SPT... a new endeavor that could possibly be a thing in Fall 2012. Those of you in SPT have heard a couple things about it (or lots of things if you've seen me at a party). But I'm not going to talk about that until it is official. Or until a Co-co (short for Co-Coordinator for all you n00bs) tells me I'm allowed, basically.

Anyway I'll just leave you in suspense while you wait for scripts, audition materials, secret things, updates on pre-production for the upcoming season, and more, throughout the summer.

Calling All SPT'ers (Alums and Current)

I bet you've noticed the rad Flickr photostream to the right on the main page. It has shows from many (well, three) years back, and I'd love pictures from even older SPT shows to put on our Flickr page.

Also, the YouTube channel is begging for footage. I've only got one show and two curtain calls to put on there so far.

So, if you have good footage of SPT shows, or pictures of the shows, please email us at shakespeare.performance.troupe@gmail.com! Also, I'd like it to be as high-kwality as possible, so no 2004 camera phone pictures or the like, please.

Thanks everyone, hopefully we can put together an awesome collection.

Testing, testing...

Just about what it says on the tin. I'm hoping to get this site fully up and running in no time, so let's see what else we have left to do for the semester:

• Move over most, if not all, of the posts/material from the old SPT page
• Post updates from this semester regarding our two shows ('The Tempest' and 'Cyrano de Bergerac')
• Start up an archive of all manner of cool SPT-related goodies, such as past programs, any available posters, and photos/videos from past performances

This is by no means an exhaustive list, but definitely something to start off with. Also, as a shout-out to anyone currently reading this page: if you have anything even remotely SPT-related lying around, please let me know so that I can borrow it for archiving purposes (They will be returned to you in a timely manner, so no worries!).

Well that just about sums it up. The next few posts are coming from the old page (and will be labeled as such), and then we can get started! Here's to a great rest-of-the-year!
