SYNOPSIS:

Gone With the Wind was one of the most-beloved books and films of the 20th century, but how did the book become the movie? In Moonlight & Magnolias, Ron Hutchinson shows us what happens when you lock three of the most driven men in Hollywood in an office for five days. Coming in February 2013.

1939 Hollywood is abuzz. Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind. The screenplay, you see, just doesn't work. So what's an all-powerful movie mogul to do? While fending off the film's stars, gossip columnists, and his own father-in-law, Selznick sends a car for famed screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls formidable director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and the three men labor to fashion a screenplay that will become the blueprint for one of the most successful and beloved films of all time. Leave those winter doldrums at the door! Join OCTA for this farce that the New York Daily News termed "Frankly, my dear, this is one funny play…a rip-roaring farce…[with] witty, pointed dialogue and hilarious situations…."

Sunday, January 27th 5pm-7pm
Callbacks TBA (either the Monday after, weekend
after, or following the Sunday evening open call
on the 27th)

A FEMININE ENDING
SYNOPSIS: Amanda, twenty-five, wants to be a great
composer. But at the moment, she's living in New
York City and writing advertising jingles to pay
the rent while her fiancé, Jack, pursues his
singing career. So when Amanda's mother, Kim,
calls one evening from New Hampshire and asks for
her help with something she can't discuss over the
phone, Amanda is only too happy to leave New York.
Once home, Kim reveals that she's leaving Amanda's
father and needs help packing. Amanda balks and
ends up (gently) hitting the postman, who happens
to be her first boyfriend. They spend the night
together in an apple orchard, where Amanda tries
to tell Billy how her life got sidetracked. It has
something to do with being a young woman in a
profession that only recognizes famous men. Billy
acts like he might have the answer, but doesn't.
Neither does Amanda's mother. Or, for that matter,
her father. A Feminine Ending is a gentle,
bittersweet comedy about a girl who knows what she
wants but not quite how to get it. Her parents are
getting divorced, her fiancée is almost famous,
her first love reappears, and there's a lot of
noise in her head but none of it is music. Until
the end.

Moving Sculptures, Telling Stories - A movement for theater workshop

Byrd Productions Presents:
Moving Sculptures, Telling Stories - A movement for theater workshop by Kirsten Stephens


The moment you arrive on stage, before you even open your mouth, you have begun telling a story. Learning to sculpt your movements allows you to communicate with your audience more directly and with greater variety and precision. In this workshop we will delve into the techniques of both Marcel Marceau and Etienne Decroux (father of Corporeal Mime). We will explore the importance of weight, form, rhythm and breath in creating character, illusion, and story in search of a more complete actor.

Kirsten is a graduate of L'Ecole International de Mimordrame de Marcel Marceau in Paris,France. She first discovered the magic of inclinations and rotations and triple designs at a church
in Oklahoma City, finally deciding to head for Paris to audition for the school. She spent the next three years studying with Marceau, as well as the world's foremost practitioners of Corporeal
Mime (which is to mime what ballet is to dance), rounded out with classes in dance, fencing and acrobatics. Following graduation, Kirsten spent another year and a half touring Europe with
some of her classmates as Mime de Rien in an original production titled Le Pese, le Flouze, le Blé. Returning to the US, she moved to Minneapolis where she met Dean Hatton at the MargolisBrown physical theater company. Discovering a common love of mime-based
movement theater, the two have been working together as Kirsten and Dean since 2001.

acts like he might have the answer, but doesn't.
Neither does Amanda's mother. Or, for that matter,
her father. A Feminine Ending is a gentle,
bittersweet comedy about a girl who knows what she
wants but not quite how to get it. Her parents are
getting divorced, her fiancée is almost famous,
her first love reappears, and there's a lot of
noise in her head but none of it is music. Until
the end.

Mix a Hitchcock masterpiece with a juicy spy novel, add a dash of Monty Python and you have The 39 Steps, a fast-paced whodunit for anyone who loves the magic of theatre! This 2-time Tony® and Drama Desk Award-winning treat is packed with nonstop laughs, over 150 zany characters (played by a ridiculously talented cast of 4), an on-stage plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers and some good old-fashioned romance!

Soon, a mysterious organization called "The 39 Steps" is hot on the man's trail in a nationwide manhunt that climaxes in a death-defying finale! A riotous blend of virtuoso performances and wildly inventive stagecraft, The 39 Steps amounts to an unforgettable evening of pure pleasure!

SYNOPSIS: Les Liaisons Dangereuses (Dangerous Liaisons)" is adapted from the 1782 novel of the same title by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. The plot focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, rivals who use sex as a weapon of humiliation and degradation. Their targets are the virtuous (and married) Madame de Tourvel and Cécile de Volanges, a young girl who has fallen in love with her music tutor, the Chevalier Danceny. In order to gain their trust, Merteuil and Valmont pretend to help the secret lovers so they can use them later in their own treacherous scheming seductions and betrayals. Their games eventually turn deadly.

Ordinary Days
Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon
From one of musical theatre's most exciting new
composers comes ORDINARY DAYS, a refreshingly
honest and funny musical about making real
connections in the city that never sleeps (but
probably should at some point.) ORDINARY DAYS
tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose
lives intersect as they search for fulfillment,
happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of
vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences
ring startlingly true to life. ORDINARY DAYS is an
original musical for anyone who's ever struggled
to appreciate the simple things in a complex
place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it
celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories
combine in unexpected ways to make New York City
such a unique and extraordinary home.

SYNOPSIS:

The Fantasticks is the simple story of a boy (Matt) and a girl (Luisa) who fall in love on either side of a wall that has been erected between their houses by their fathers (Bellomy and Huckabee) in a plot to trick their children into falling in love with each other. Bellomy and Huckabee eventually arrange for Luisa to be abducted by a dashing villain (El Gallo, who also serves as the play's narrator) and two actors for hire (Henry and Mortimer). This plan does not proceed as planned as the children learn of their fathers' deception, causing a rift in their romance and decide to go off into the real world instead. This world proves more difficult than they had bargained for and each eventually returns home a more mature person ready to accept their relationship as it is.


PRODUCTION CREW:

Director/Choreographer: David Martin
Musical Director: Sara Blakesley
Assistant Musical Director/Accompanist: Michelle McIntyre
Stage Manager: DK Evenson
Set Designer: RickL and Mickie Riley
Lighting Designer: Chuck Cline
Costume Designer: Kerry Schafer
Properties: Valerie Martin


CHARACTER BREAKDOWN(age breakdown indicates playable age NOT actual age):

EL GALLO (male, late 20s to early 40s, SINGING role – baritone:

The bandit/narrator. He needs to be charismatic with a versatile voice that is both powerful and melodic. Think a singing version of Zorro – complete with the cape.

MATT (male, late teens to 20s, SINGING role – tenor):

Half of the main pair of lovers in the show. He needs to be young and ambitious, but a little quirky wouldn't be a bad thing. Must be similar in age to Luisa.

LUISA (female, late teens to 20s, SINGING role – soprano):

Half of the main pair of lovers in the show. She must be young and innocent but with a hint of worldly wisdom about her. Must be similar in age to Matt.


HUCKLEBEE (male or female, 40s to 60s, SINGING role) – The father/mother of Matt. Hucklebee takes a wait and see approach to parenting and gardening, preferring not to do too much. Age range will be determined in conjunction with Matt as Hucklebee must be believable as Matt's parent.


BELLOMY (male or female, 40s to 60s, SINGING role) –

The father/mother of Luisa. Bellomy has the opposite approach to parenting and gardening, preferring to overwork with the thought that too much of a good thing is never bad. Age range will be determined in conjunction with Luisa as Bellomy must be believable as Luisa's parent.

HENRY (male, 30s to 70s, NON-SINGING role) –

Described as "an old actor" may be played younger with age makeup or older. He is hired by El Gallo to help abduct Luisa and portray Matt as her savior. He is an experienced stage veteran, at least in his own mind. Improvisational skills are a plus.

MORTIMER (male, any age, NON-SINGING role) –

Henry's partner in crime and in staging scenes, Mortimer is a "man who dies." The actor playing this role will need to be a large character and comfortable with physical comedy. Improvisational skills are a plus.

THE MUTE (female, any age, NON-SINGING role) –

And, in fact, a non-speaking role, but a vital one to the production. The Mute needs to be able to drift into the background and be totally unobtrusive at times and be the most expressive person on stage at other times. In my opinion, this is the hardest role in the show.

NOTE – Henry, Mortimer, and The Mute will be called on fewer nights as there is no music for them to learn.

A MODERN NIGHT AT THE FOLLY

10th Anniversary Choreographers' Showcase

8 p.m., Feb. 9, 2013

The Folly Theater, 300 W. 12th St. KCMO 64105



Join us at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, 2013, as City in Motion Dance Theater celebrates the 10th anniversary presentation of "A Modern Night at the Folly!"

This performance features 10 of the area's most talented choreographers. This eagerly awaited one-of-a-kind event is Kansas City's only adjudicated showcase. It provides the audience with insight into the direction of our region's modern dance artists.

This year's performance will feature the choreography of Willie Lenoir, Erin Lustig, James Moreno, Jennifer Owen, Cathy Patterson, Lucy Shopen, Andrea Skowronek, Patrick Suzeau, Halley Willcox, and Ming Xia. Choreographer Andrea Skowronek, Co-artistic Director and original company member of City in Motion, will be available for interviews.

Tickets for "A Modern Night at the Folly" can be reserved by calling the Folly Box Office at 816.474.4444 or by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. Tickets are $18 in advance, $15 for students and seniors and $20 at the door. Tickets subject to convenience charge. Call the Folly Box Office for details. The Folly Theater is located at 300 W. 12th Street, Kansas City, MO 64105.

For more than 25 years, City in Motion has provided opportunities for local choreographers to present their work through the Choreographers' Showcase, the New Dance Series and Dance in the Park. "A Modern Night at the Folly" is a continuation of that tradition.

This event is partially funded by the Missouri Arts Council, the Neighborhood Tourist Development Fund, the Arts Council of Metropolitan Kansas City, United Missouri Bank and a grant from the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation.

Since 1985, City in Motion Dance Theatre has worked to promote modern dance in Kansas City. Its mission is to foster the development of high-quality contemporary dance programming and expand the dance audience in the Kansas City metropolitan region.

This 501c(3) nonprofit organization has utilized a three-pronged approach—a professional dance company; a dance school offering affordable classes for children, youth and adults; and contemporary dance programming and presentations—to achieve awareness and appreciation for modern dance. The organization is perhaps best known for its high-quality annual dance concerts at the Gem Theater, Folly Theater, Roanoke Park and other locations throughout the metropolitan area.

Ordinary Days
Music and Lyrics by Adam Gwon
From one of musical theatre's most exciting new
composers comes ORDINARY DAYS, a refreshingly
honest and funny musical about making real
connections in the city that never sleeps (but
probably should at some point.) ORDINARY DAYS
tells the story of four young New Yorkers whose
lives intersect as they search for fulfillment,
happiness, love and cabs. Through a score of
vibrant and memorable songs, their experiences
ring startlingly true to life. ORDINARY DAYS is an
original musical for anyone who's ever struggled
to appreciate the simple things in a complex
place. With equal doses of humor and poignancy, it
celebrates how 8.3 million individual stories
combine in unexpected ways to make New York City
such a unique and extraordinary home.

A FEMININE ENDING
SYNOPSIS: Amanda, twenty-five, wants to be a great
composer. But at the moment, she's living in New
York City and writing advertising jingles to pay
the rent while her fiancé, Jack, pursues his
singing career. So when Amanda's mother, Kim,
calls one evening from New Hampshire and asks for
her help with something she can't discuss over the
phone, Amanda is only too happy to leave New York.
Once home, Kim reveals that she's leaving Amanda's
father and needs help packing. Amanda balks and
ends up (gently) hitting the postman, who happens
to be her first boyfriend. They spend the night
together in an apple orchard, where Amanda tries
to tell Billy how her life got sidetracked. It has
something to do with being a young woman in a
profession that only recognizes famous men. Billy
acts like he might have the answer, but doesn't.
Neither does Amanda's mother. Or, for that matter,
her father. A Feminine Ending is a gentle,
bittersweet comedy about a girl who knows what she
wants but not quite how to get it. Her parents are
getting divorced, her fiancée is almost famous,
her first love reappears, and there's a lot of
noise in her head but none of it is music. Until
the end.
