 Acting Unlimited (AUI) and Wanderlust Theatre Co. are teaming up with the UL-Lafayette Performing Arts Department to present an exciting addition to the summer theatre calendar: WOLVES IN THE WALLS, a world premiere adaptation of Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s award-winning children’s book “The Wolves in the Walls,” and THE BOOK OF D,  a world-premiere play for young actors by Cody Daigle.

Lucy is hearing strange noises in the walls  – noises she believes to be wolves. No one believes her… except her puppet, Pig. Then one night, Lucy discovers that the wolves in the walls are real. And they’re coming out to play…

Adapted for the stage by local playwright Cody Daigle, WOLVES IN THE WALL will feature  a spectacular puppetry design by Brady McKellar and Elsa Dimitriadis, artistic directors of Wanderlust Theatre Co., incorporating a host of puppetry techniques. The show will be a visual theatrical event filled with puppetry, pandemonium and the dark fantasy world of Neil Gaiman.

The production will also receive support from the area’s vibrant visual arts community. Rob Guillory, local artist and an Eisner-award winning creator of the comic book series “Chew,” will supply the poster art for the production.

Gaiman and McKean’s “The Wolves in the Walls” was first published in 2003, and it won awards for the New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book (2003), the IRA/CBC Children's Choice (2004) award and the British Science Fiction Association award for Short Fiction (2003).

This production has the blessing of Gaiman and his team, and it will be the only time this version of the show will performed anywhere.

In THE BOOK OF D, imagination and myth combine to help two young people forge a friendship and cope with the pressures of growing up. D keeps a book that contains an explanation for everything. When D meets Blu, it seems like a new story of friendship is going to be written. But life has other plans – as it always does – and stories become the strongest link between them.

THE BOOK OF D was written specifically for the show’s cast, and will serve as a curtain-raiser for WOLVES IN THE WALLS.

The production also marks the first collaboration between the two lead producing companies. AUI has recently produced David Ives’ “Lives of the Saints” and the first post-controversy production of Mike Daisey’s “The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs” in the country. Wanderlust Theatre has delighted audiences with their production of “Match” and “Shylock.”

“AUI and Wanderlust Theatre both have reputations for delivering exciting theatre work,” Marie Diaz, lead producer, said. “This collaboration is a natural fit. We look forward to bringing Gaiman’s world to life for local audiences.”

WOLVES IN THE WALLS (with the curtain-raiser THE BOOK OF D) will run July 26 – August 5 at Burke-Hawthorne Hall on the UL Campus. Curtain on Thursday, Friday and Saturday is 7:30 p.m. Curtain on Sunday is 3 p.m. For more information or for ticket reservations, call 484-0712.  To purchase tickets online, click here.

Theatre--Review (AUI/UL-Lafayette/Festival International)

Kaleidoscope begins with an accident: a spaceship hauling lumber across the cosmos explodes, sending a handful of its passengers hurtling through space. They’re a small brace of survivors – it’s suggested there were others who died in the crash, but only these six escape – and they are connected only by radios that are soon to run out of power. All that’s left of their pre-crash lives are the voices of their fellow shipmates, and each is hurtling outward into his own oblivion.

The play is an adaptation of two radio plays by Bradbury also called Kaleidoscope, done by the show’s director, Nathan Gabriel. The adaptation is smart – just the beginning of a slew of smart choices made by Gabriel across the production – and it cleverly honors both the piece’s radio beginnings and its new stagebound life. This isn’t an easy feat, but Gabriel has found a way to make the play’s aural landscape as evocative as its visual one.

The ensemble of actors do fine work across the board. Their relationships with each other, and ultimately their relationship with their inevitable ends, are clear and fleshed out. The stakes are high, and no one (thankfully!) reaches or showboats with their limited time on stage. Two performances are particularly effective. Vince Barras, as Hollis, has the show’s biggest role and serves as its de fact conscience. He’s genuine, warm and affecting, particularly in his final moments.

The show’s standout performance was Chris Matochi’s as Stimson, the one survivor who’s not handling his end with grace. The part is small – although he lasts longer than some of his companions, Stimson isn’t given a lot of text – but Matochi fills it with a rich energy that’s deeply affecting. His death is the most painful to watch, and his departure was the only one I felt in my gut.

What’s impressive about Kaleidscope is its restraint. Gabriel wisely chooses to hold back from unnecessary theatrics and bold, overstated gestures. His touches are small, quiet and powerful – small lights going out on each of the actor’s costumes signaling their demise was my favorite – and his artistic team followed suit. Brady McKellar’s costumes were simple yet evocative. Travis Johnston’s lighting design was spot-on. And the show’s music (Max Richter), sound design (Jack Klotz and Gabriel) and video design (Lisa Marie Patzer) were impressive and understated, honoring the show’s 1950s science fiction sensibility without resorting to camp.

The whole enterprise is impressive, and it’s encouraging to know that folks like Gabriel and McKellar, both newish faces on the UL Performing Arts faculty, are helping to steer local theatre into its future.

Kaleidscope invites us not only to consider the vastness of the universe but also the uncharted distances between people. In that distance, the play seems to say, our inability to connect honestly and completely with the people around us keeps us untethered, alone. And the play seems to say that it’s not our joys but our regrets that keep us company once all the lights are out. And once the silence is descending, with whatever courage we have left, we should send those regrets out into space, as a fevered cry in the dark. 

---Cody Daigle

Kaleidoscope continues its run at Theatre 810 through the remainder of Festival International, beginning at 7 pm every night and will also run May 3-6, again at 7 pm.

The play takes place on Labor Day weekend in the joint backyards of two middle- aged widows. One house belongs to Flo Owens, who lives there with her two awakening young daughters, Madge and Millie, and a boarder who is a spinster school teacher, Rosemary Sidney. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly and invalid mother. Into this atmosphere comes a young man named Hal Carter, whose animal vitality upsets the entire group. Hal is a most-interesting character, a child of parents who ignored him, self-conscious of his failings and his hard luck. Flo is sensitively wary of the temptations Hal poses for her daughters. But Madge, bored with being merely a beauty, sacrifices her chances for a wealthy marriage for the excitement that Hal promises."

The University of Louisiana Department of Performing Arts presents Good Thing by Jessica Goldberg. Performances are March 24th through the 27th at 7:30pm and March 28th at 2:00pm in Burke Theatre in Burke-Hawthorn Hall on the UL campus.

Sara Birk, Assistant Professor of Acting and Voice at UL, is directing this production. Professor Birk has worked as actor, director, and vocal coach in numerous productions in both educational and independent theatres around the country. Actors for this production include students from the Performing Arts Department at UL-Lafayette.

Dean is about to be a father for the first time. Unfortunately, what should be a joyful occasion is not quite what he expected. The impending birth has necessitated locking the mother-to-be in a room so that she won’t get into Dean’s brother’s drug stash and harm the baby. And just to make things more complicated, Dean’s ex-girlfriend has returned from college to renew their relationship, prompting Dean to wonder if his choices in life have been the right ones.

Good Thing examines those moments when we look back at past decisions and try to figure out where we went wrong, and how we can make things right. Sometimes the right choice is the one most difficult to face, and the one that will cost the most.

Tickets for Good Thing are $10.00 for General Admission, $5.00 for UL Alumni, Senior Citizens, children and students. UL faculty, staff and students with a valid ID are admitted free of charge. Tickets are available at the door one hour prior to each performance. Due to adult situations and language, this production is intended for mature audiences.

Theatre--Competition Results

Following outstanding recognition at the Louisiana State Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (KC/ACTF) held in New Orleans, the UL-Lafayette Department of Performing Arts is very proud to announce that its production of Noises Off was selected as an example of high excellence in theatre production and will go on to represent the University in competition at the 42nd annual KC/ACTF Region VI Festival.


Highly competitive, and adjudicated by national and regional respondents, productions held for regional presentation are adjudicated and than ranked for excellence in overall theatre production by the 17 member Regional Committee. Of the 112 productions put on this past year by participating Universities and Colleges in the five-state KC/ACTF Region, UL-Lafayette’s Noises Off was chosen as one of only six productions to earn this highly coveted recognition and to be awarded the opportunity to perform at the 2010 Regional Festival held in Amarillo, Texas.

In choosing UL Lafayette for excellence in moving forward to Regionals, one respondent sited Noises Off as, “an excellent example of style and ensemble discipline.  What the UL-Lafayette folks have accomplished with this production serves both to show off the quality of their training/production program and offer up a genuinely entertaining few hours of theater.”

Designed to promote and celebrate the work of educational theatre programs and to identify and promote quality in college–level theatre production, the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival is a national organization containing eight regions. UL-Lafayette participates as part of Region VI, which is comprised of five states: Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas.

In addition to Noises Off competing for national recognition and an opportunity to represent excellence in theatre production and perform at Nationals, held late spring 2010 in Washington, DC, seven UL-Lafayette students will also be competing for national recognition and prestigious scholarship awards. Bobby Bender, Sarah Hitchcock, Madison Ali Hubbard, Rachel Mauti, and Greta Trosclair will be competing in the Irene Ryan Acting Scholarship Competition; technical theatre student Jenna Fontenot will be competing for Regional Commendations for Excellence in Properties- design and execution; and graduating senior Katie Lamson will be competing in the 2010 Stage Directors & Choreographers (SDC) Student Directing Competition.

Theatre--Performance

The University of Louisiana--Lafayette Department of Performing Arts presents Noises Off! by Michael Frayn in the Burke Theatre November 12th through the 14th at 7:30 pm and November 15th at 2:00 pm.  This will be the first production housed in the newly renovated Burke Theatre (located in Burke-Hawthorne Hall on the UL-Lafayette campus).  Tickets are $10 for general admission, $5 for UL-Lafayette alumni, senior citizens, students and children and free (with a valid ID) for UL-Lafayette students, faculty and staff.  Tickets are only available at the door.

From Wikipedia:
In his plot for Noises Off, Frayn plays on the concept of a play within a play, in this case a dreadful sex comedy titled Nothing On—the type of play in which young girls run about in their underwear, old men drop their trousers, and many doors continually open and shut. Nothing On is set in "a delightful 16th-century posset mill that has been converted to a modern dwelling for which renters are solicited; the fictional playwright is appropriately named Robin Housemonger. Each of the three acts of Noises Off contains a performance of the first act of Nothing On.

In theatrical stage directions, the term "noises off" specifies sounds that are meant to originate offstage.

The University of Louisiana at Lafayette Performing Arts Department and Alpha Psi Omega present The Birthday Dinner, a play written and directed by Brian Egland on Thursday (October 29th), Friday (October 30th) and Saturday (October 31st) at Fletcher Hall (on the University of Louisiana Lafayette Campus--on the corner of Girard Park Circle and E. Lewis St.).  Admission is free, and tickets are only available at the door.  Please arrive early because seating is limited.

This Show is Suggested For Mature Audiences.

A birthday can also be a time to recognize the change in someone else. A boy becoming a man or a girl becoming a woman. The blossoming of identity or the losing of innocence

Living life, we as people often do not stop to notice or celebrate the changes that has arisen in our lives. We often ignore it or continue to go with the flow, but there is one day when the changes in life cannot be ignored. That day is a birthday. It is nearly impossible to ignore life on that day because it is the anniversary of a person’s emergence into life. People choose to commemorate the day different ways. Some choose to celebrate and then there are those who try to ignore it, but most likely find themselves reflecting on the past or wondering about their future. You cannot ignore your life on its anniversary.
