A note from the director of Steel, Duygu Erdogan Monson
Can we speak now? Are we safe? Has enough time passed? Have we healed enough? May I ask my questions now? I have a lot of questions…

Does my skin color, my religion, my ethnicity make you mad if I ask you my questions?

Fifteen years after the 9/11 attacks it is still heartbreaking to see the pain of the nation and the individuals who buried their loved ones and also their souls under the steel of the Twin Towers. Their minds have wandered with the dust particles since. 

This is an invitation to join the conversation. It is time to listen. Believe me, you will hear a lot, and realize, you have a lot to talk about…
 

 

Theater department’s 2016 Opera Workshop “A Little Night Music” opens Fri., Feb. 19

Shoreline Community College’s Musical theater department presents their 2016 Opera Workshop with Stephen Sondheim’s 19th century romantic waltz-based operetta/musical,  “A Little Night Music” !

Clive Barnes in the New York Times called the musical “heady, civilized, sophisticated and enchanting.”

The Telegraph wrote that “Sondheim’s lyrics are often superbly witty, his music here, mostly in haunting waltz-time, far more accessible than is sometimes the case. The score positively throbs with love, regret and desire.”

Winner of a Tony for Best Musical and Best Musical Score!

Sondheim creates a stunning tour de force when he takes Ingmar Bergman’s comedy of manners, Smiles of a Summer Night, and turns it into a musical of masterful execution and elegance. Winner of four Tony Awards including Best Musical and Best Musical Score, this is a musical work that has forever entranced the world of theatre.

Set in 1900 Sweden, A Little Night Music explores the tangled web of affairs centered around actress Desirée Armfeldt and the men who love her: a lawyer by the name of Fredrik Egerman and the Count Carl-Magnus Malcom. When the traveling actress performs in Fredrik’s town, the estranged lovers’ passion rekindles. This strikes a flurry of jealousy and suspicion between Desirée, Fredrik, Fredrick’s wife, Anne, Desirée’s current lover, the Count, and the Count’s wife, Charlotte. Both men — as well as their jealous wives — agree to join Desirée and her family for a weekend in the country at Desirée’s mother’s estate. With everyone in one place, infinite possibilities of new romances and second chances bring endless surprises.

A Little Night Music is full of hilarity, witty and heartbreakingly moving moments of adoration, regret and desire. This dramatic musical celebration of love is perfect to showcase our talented cast of singers and actors, with it’s harmonically-advanced score and masterful orchestrations. And, it contains Sondheim’s popular song, the haunting “Send in the Clowns.”

The Shoreline Theater Department’s Presentation of Texarkana Waltz Opens This Week

Texarkana Waltz

Get your tickets now for Shoreline’s presentation of “Texarkana Waltz,” opening this Thursday, March 5 and playing through March 14.

Directed by Debra Pralle, the Theater department presents Seattle playwright Louis Broome’s semi-autobiographical play that explores the horror of murder and the healing power of family and forgiveness in fresh, funny and stylistically creative ways.

From echoes of Hamlet, to Brechtian epic drama, and into a realistic exploration of a modern lesbian couple, “Texarkana Waltz” employs modern and classical sensibilities, colorful characters and the occasional singing cowboy to catapult us to the heartland of America as an Oklahoma clan struggles with the violent demons of its past.

“One of those rare works that manages to tickle the funny bone while plucking the heartstrings with quirky writing that sparkles with playful wit.” – Los Angeles Times

Playing in the Shoreline Community College Campus Theater, performances are March 5, 6, 7, 12, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are:
General admission, $10
Children 14 and under and SCC Students, $6
Seniors and Non-SCC Students, $8
