mcdowell children's theatre (teens) presents
The Addams Family Young@part October 20, 21, 22 & 27, 28, 29 October 22 will be an ASL (American Sign Language) Interpreted Performance Tickets will go on-sale October 1st As the curtain rises, the last dead leaf of autumn falls from the Family Tree, and all is right with the morbid, macabre world of Gomez, Morticia, Fester, Grandma, Wednesday, Pugsley and Lurch. They’ve gathered – where else? – in the family graveyard, to celebrate life and death in a yearly ritual to connect with their past and ensure their future. They seem at peace, not just with each other and their inimitable, unchanging Addams-ness, but with their dead ancestors, too – who emerge from their graves on this night each year to join in this celebration of continuity. But, at the end of the ritual, Fester blocks the ancestors’ return to their graves. Those unchanging Addams family values are about to be tested. |
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
a 4 Dimensional Performance
A shadow-cast or shadowplay: A group of people that performs a movie in front of a screen while that movie is playing; they essentially pantomime the movie. Most often seen during showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
+
A film screening of Robert Wiene's 1920 film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
+
The live accompaniment performed by local composer and pianist Nathan Shirley. Silent Film is something of a misnomer, as these films were almost always accompanied by live sounds. During the silent screening era that existed from the mid-1890s to the late 1920s, a pianist, theater organist—or even, in large cities, a small orchestra—would often play music to accompany the films.
+
Live special effects and puppetry to support the shadow play, designed and performed by Aaron Shirley.
-
This will be a two-night limited performance featuring the live music of Nathan Shirley, a full ensemble cast of performers, puppetry, unique artistry, production design by Ashton Helton, with the backdrop of the 1920's German Expressionist Film, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.
Who: Folks who enjoy silent films and live music,
goths, live RHPS experiences
Age recommendation: PG-13
When: October 6th and 7th at 7pm
Where: The Greenlee Theatre at MACA | 50 S Main St.
