Welcome to the Wicked Stage

This is the Wicked Stage, a blog of theatre reviews by the students of the Watershed School. What happened was this: I was approached by Jason Berv, who runs the school, to create a week-long theatre class for students, using my perspective as a playwright, actor, teacher, and theatre critic. I decided to have the class focus on theatre from the point of view of a critic. I used the model of nytheatre.com, where I where I was a senior reviewer for several years, as the template for the kind of reviews we would write. So each day the students and I talk about theatre and reviewing and all the elements that comprise a play, and each night we go to a different theatre, take backstage tours, attend shows, and have talk backs with the cast after the show. So far, we've seen Mariela in the Desert at the Denver Center Theatre Company, Hamlet- Prince of Darkness at the National Theatre Conservatory, and Opus at the Curious Theatre. Tonight, we see our last show, Nine, at the Arvada Center. In the blogs that follow, you'll see the reviews that the students have written about the shows.
Enjoy.

ROSE RED AUDITIONS


AUDITION NOW FOR ROSE RED:  A NEW MUSICAL (Ages 8 - 12 & 12 - 18)














Rose Red is a new musical by Kelly McAllister & Kari Kraakevik based
on the classic fairy tale “Rose Red and Snow White” by the Brothers
Grimm, “Rose Red” is the adventure of two sisters: the wild Rose and
the obedient Snow, who live in the forest with Mother Chrysanthemum.
When the malicious Imp and the cursed Timberwolf enter their world,
life becomes much more interesting…and dangerous. With the help of the
noble but confused knights Sir Lost, Sir And, and Sir Found, Rose and
Snow confront the evil Endorra Belle, the dreaded Wolf King and the
Armies of the Night. Some hearts are shattered, some redeemed as
secrets are revealed, and destinies fulfilled.
