Maclab Enterprises

Students Club

T

he 2010 - 2011 season has already proved remarkable for Students Club Members, and the best news is that it is still possible to sign up for the remaining four plays of the Citadel’s Students Club season.

Maclab Enterprises Students Club is a Citadel Theatre/Robbins Academy program that offers a unique opportunity for junior and senior high school students from Edmonton and surrounding areas to experience a backstage look at the many challenges and remarkable artistry that is involved in creating a piece of professional theatre.

On the first three Tuesdays and Wednesdays during the run of the Landmark Classic Homes Mainstage productions, Students Club members gather prior to the performance, enjoy refreshments and are provided a half hour pre-show presentation designed to stimulate their minds, ignite their imaginations and foster a more personal connection to the work onstage.

Following each performance Student’s Club members are then invited to stay for a lively post-show discussion involving members of the creative team, cast and crew.

For the season’s opening production of Billy Bishop Goes to War the student’s explored the highly visceral world of sound design and musical creation for theatre. This featured one of the great masters of this area – the superbly talented Michael Becker. This presentation involved both in-depth demonstration of sound design in process, and examples of the dynamic contribution this work makes as part of a finished production.

For Intimate Apparel the students enjoyed a first hand glimpse of the multilayered process of creating a new work from scratch. This presentation featured various artists involved in the development of Hunchback; and the evolution of its text, music and design elements as it moves toward a world premiere on the Shoctor stage this March.

Yet to come, Students Club Members will be introduced to the transformative process of Scenic Art, and experience the magic of the multi-talented Michelle

20

2010-2011 season Dias whose work has appeared on the Citadel stages for more then a decade. Using the intimate confines of the Rice Theatre, Michelle’s pre-show presentation will demonstrate some of the breathtaking techniques and brilliant inventiveness this area of work so often requires.

Also as part of the program students will get a special introduction to the above, onstage and below of the Maclab Theatre. As one of only two of its kind in Canada we will not only explore the secrets of using this theatre to the best advantage - but reveal some of the unique directing, design and acting opportunities this particular theatre can offer.

For information about joining the Students Club for the final four shows of the season please contact Shar Powell, Booking Coordinator at 428-2127.

For individual students who are interested in joining please e-mail Shar at spowell@citadeltheatre.com and leave your name, contact information and the name of the school you attend.

CITADEL THEATRE Robbins

The 2010/2011 Citadel/Banff Centre Professional Theatre Program is well underway.

This is our third iteration of the Professional Theatre Program, one of our five pillars of the Robbins Academy, and will culminate in not one, but two full-length Citadel productions in the spring of 2011. Finding a play that has a large cast and strong roles for both male and female actors is often a challenge. So, in an attempt to offer each actor in the program a chance to shine, two very fitting plays were chosen: The Three Musketeers and Little Women, The Broadway Musical, both a part of our Landmark Classic Homes Mainstage Series.

A group of fourteen professional actors converged at the Banff Centre for four weeks of intense training in acting, singing, voice, movement, dance, stage combat, text, and script analysis, taught by a faculty of some of Canada’s leading theatre artists, and led by Program Director James MacDonald. Then, in February and March 2011, they will relocate to the Citadel, where they will continue their training and begin rehearsals in repertory (both plays at the same time) for The Three Musketeers and Little Women, The Broadway Musical, both directed by Bob Baker.

For more information on the Professional Program, to donate to the Robbins Academy, and to watch weekly video blogs by the participants, please visit our website at www.citadeltheatre.com and at www.youtube.com/citadeltheatre.

Colin MacLean Colin MacLean is the dean of Edmonton theatre reviewers.

In 2007, Colin was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Outstanding Contribution to Theatre in Edmonton at the Sterling Awards.

Jean is a slyly funny, feisty, no nonsense octogenarian fighting to maintain her dignity in a world that has little time for the elderly.

For 50 years, she and her husband, Alec, have lived in their Vancouver home but now her family is spread all over the country – except for her very busy daughter who often just can’t seem to find the time to visit.

In this house, the two raised three children and have gone through all the troubles, adjustments and joys that are the stuff of family.

foreshadowing with Colin MacLean They have been waiting for 27 months to move into “The Rotary”, an assisted living facility but, in the way of these things, they are just two names on what great deal of that which is seems like an endless list. The fiercely proud Jean doesn’t want to be a burden to anyone and had about people. ... hopes she and her husband would walk into their new “home” with grace and self-reliance. But recently Alec had a heart attack and now needs looking after. She lives with her greatest fear – the two of them will be forced to split up. Or they will be shipped off to some anonymous facility in, as she observes with considerable venom, “Abbotsford,” far away from anything familiar.

“If you only look at the dark you are missing a real

”

Jean is desperately lonely and one afternoon there comes a knock on the door. She has been cautioned not to answer to anyone she doesn’t know but out of her isolation and loneliness – she opens the door. And changes her life forever.

Joan MacLeod is now a professor in the writing department of the University of Victoria.

Her latest play, Another Home Invasion, has already been seen across much of the country, playing to enthusiastic audiences and collecting uniformly superlative reviews from critics. It opens February 12th in the Rice Theatre.

The Governor-General’s Award-winning writer has become one of Canada’s best known and most produced playwrights. Her first play, Jewel, a one-person show about the widow of a man killed when the Ocean Ranger platform sank off the Grand Banks in 1982, opened at

the Edmonton Fringe in 1985 and she’s followed that with a succession of highly regarded works. One that stands out in my mind was the marvellous 2007 Concrete Theatre Edmonton mounting of her play, The Shape of a Girl, based on the senseless murder of Vancouver teenager Rena Virk by a group of her peers. It’s MacLeod’s most successful and oft produced play.

MacLeod has written about Canada’s dismal refugee policies (Amigo’s Blue Guitar), the Doukhobor’s struggles to live as they choose (The Hope Slide), the sad story of the 100,000 children shipped to Canada from Scotland and England to work in factories and farms in this country (Homechild) and her experiences as a social worker with the mentally challenged (Toronto, Mississippi).

Now all this may sound like MacLeod’s social problem of the week dramas but she’s much too astute a playwright to bore an audience with polemics. “Yeah, if you look at my output just in terms of premise or content, they all look so dismal,” she says. “But I find them kind of funny.”

She’s not alone in that. Critics have often remarked on how she skillfully uses humour to make her dramatic points. “If you only look at the dark you are missing a great deal of that which is real about people. You open audiences up with laughter.

As a playwright, I feel more confident about my ability to make people cry – but I love to sit in the dark and hear audiences laugh.”

Joan MacLeod first came to Banff in 1984 as a budding poet and was persuaded to turn toward drama, but, as the editor of the Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia, Anne Nothof, points out, the

33

foreshadowing with Colin MacLean poet inside her still lives. Says Nothof, “One of the things I most admire about her is her use of language. Her poetic, lyrical plays are characterized by evocative imagery and layered themes that consider the complexities of personal and political relationships. She’s complex but accessible. I think she writes very truthfully about human experience and feelings.”

MacLeod’s interest in social issues stem from a lifetime of concern and not from any desire to find dramatic fodder for her next play. “I come across these issues and I think that something should be done about them. I tend to write about things I care about. I was born in 1954 and so I came of age in the late ‘60’s. It was a time of great social change. My family was very aware and I just grew up that way. I went on peace marches when I was 14.”

Another Home Invasion came out of a newspaper story about a couple in the interior of BC. “They were very old – in their 90’s I think – and the wife was sent to a different care facility miles away from her husband and she died within two days. Her husband died two weeks later.” The incident stirred memories of her own life. “My mother lived in an extended care hospital for 10 years. The home was almost all female and all of them had been at home with their husbands. But the husbands died first and these women, well, I thought they were extraordinary. Here was a big old group without a voice and I wanted to write about them. Most of these woman gave up everything to look after someone – and their health was declining.”

Although the problems of caring for older parents are universal – they are not contemporary in the sense that they

seem distant and removed to many younger people. So MacLeod added another layer to her story. When Jean answers the knock on the door, on the other side is a violent young man – a crystal meth addict. Says the playwright, “Another Home Invasion” is very much a part of this century, so that was important to me.”

“

I come across these issues In the words of one critic, MacLeod has the “ability to stretch tension out of everyday domestic scenes and I think that making every trip to the basement or late-night something should be glass of milk in the kitchen feel like the climax of done about them. ... a thriller.” Echoes famed Vancouver actress Nicola Lipman (who plays Jean in the Citadel production and for whom the play was written), “Joan can turn a story from despair to hilarity in an instant, making the episode vibrate with dramatic tension.” Nothof compares her writing to that of English theatre god Harold Pinter, “There’s menace and mystery in her writings. A threat from the outside trying to come into her house. This is not just a play about this old lady but a portrait of a very strong, independent woman dealing with many issues in her life.”

”

When not teaching, MacLeod writes (or researches) four hours a day. For years, she wrote in longhand in little notebooks, finally assembling her plays in a computer. “I’m always afraid the computer will make me look too good too soon,” she says. Now she writes on “a lovely little Macbook. You can take them anywhere and I like that.” She adds wryly. “My writing will probably go to hell.” She’s working on a new play at the moment.

“At the end of of the day,” says MacLeod, “All my work is about family and, you know, human stuff more than anything. I want them to work as a piece of art but not as a political diatribe. I look for complex questions. Nothing in real life is simple.”

Says Anne Nothof, “This is an outstanding Canadian play that speaks to everyone. Just listen to what the playwright has to say and your life will be enlarged.”

about our

W

Carpentry Department Scenic Carpentry

hen the plays are chosen for the season and the designers hired, the director and designer of a show meet and a set is sketched out. The designer then creates preliminary drawings and a maquette (small model of the set) which the director looks at. Changes may be made and then preliminary drawings are given to Les Myhr, Head of Scenic Carpentry, and Bill Heron, Technical Director, to cost. Then depending on the budget for the show, changes may be made. Once final approval is given on the budget, Les receives final drawings of the set. He now produces construction drawings, makes sure that it will be structurally safe and decides what materials will be used. At that time, the build begins. All of our sets are built at the Citadel in our shop.

Once it is built and painted in the shop, they tear it down, transfer it to the stage and put it back together. When the actors begin to rehearse on the set, sometimes modifications must be made.
