Sam Mooney, Mooney on Theatre, Reviews Albertine in Five Times
Deciding to produce Michel Tremblay’s play Albertine in Five Times is fairly straightforward. Deciding how to stage it isn’t. Alumnae Theatre has made a bold choice for its current production.
Director Cassidy Sadler presents Albertine in Five Times as an integrated virtual/live production. Two actors are live on stage, four are performing from home and are projected into the theatre. It’s presented digitally. The audience watches from home – or wherever they want.
This is a production for our times ...

The Alumnae Theatre Goes "Cross Country" ...
Anne Tait

On February 7, 2021, CBC Radio’s Cross Country Checkup asked the following question:
Has Zoom made your life better or worse? Anne Tait, a long-time Alumnae member, responded to host Ian Hanomansing with an emphatic “Yes!” She recalled that the COVID-19 pandemic hit right in the middle of our festival of new plays and caused the cancellation of all our upcoming live shows. On the bright side, however, the Zoom platform has allowed Alumnae members to create lots of new and very popular programs for its members. “I thought we’d lose that precious connection you have with each other when you’re all working to get a show up on stage," Anne said, "but at the Alumnae, we started online play readings, then fully rehearsed performances, and new groups, where we comment on plays we read, or sharpen our acting skills, or as directors, two of us will direct the same scene. We’ve grown closer together, we’ve attracted many new members, and we’ve enlarged our scope. “ To listen to Anne's interview click on the link below and scroll down to the February 7/21 episode. (*The segment starts at the 11:50 mark and runs for about 3 minutes.) Anne Tait's interview on Cross Country Checkup > |
Please help Alumnae raise $6,000.00 so we can re-open safely, artistically and joyfully!
