ESU Theatre Presents: A Christmas Carol

30 November 2016


PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release


Emporia State University Theatre presents live
radio broadcast of "A Christmas Carol".

Emporia State University Theatre students and
faculty will perform a radio adaptation of A
Christmas Carol, the timeless classic by
Charles Dickens, on December 10 at 7:00 pm in
the Karl C. Bruder Theatre. The performance
will be available to hear on the radio or
streamed online, but it can also be watched
live in the theatre. A suggested donation of $5
can be made at the door for the live
performance; donations will go toward theatre
scholarships. The performance will be broadcast
live on KISS 103.1 FM Radio.

The radio adaptation of the play was adapted by
Assistant Professor Dan Matisa. On the process
of adapting the play for radio, Matisa said, "I
loved re-reading the original Charles Dickens
story and adapting it for radio! I didn't look
at any other stage versions or adaptations of
the story—just the original Dickens novella.
Nearly every word we say will be from the pen
of Charles Dickens… My aim at the outset was to
stay as faithful as I could to the words of
Dickens, while getting the play to an hour in
length."

This will be the first radio performance
presented by the ESU Theatre Department in
collaboration with KISS 103.1. It is also KISS
103.1's first live radio play. ESU Theatre
students performed a radio adaptation of Frank
Capra's It's a Wonderful Life in 2009, however
that performance was not broadcast over the
radio.

Cameron Reynolds, ESU Theatre student and KISS
103.1 radio personality is "super excited for
the opportunity to produce this radio play.
Radio and theatre have been my passion for my
entire college career and I am overjoyed to
combine both of those to do something that is
not only great for the community, but also
allows me to give back to ESU Theatre."

Performers include Matisa (as Scrooge), Jim
Bartruff, Lindy Bartruff, Taylor Galloway,
Chris Lohkamp and Jennifer Newell. Student
performers include Bailey Carter, Tyler Lang,
Ryan Howerton, Justin Scheck and Nathan Short.
Music will be provided by Sue Seeman and
Madison Schultz. Before the program goes live
there will be a Christmas carol sing-along.
People of all ages are encouraged to listen on
air or attend the live performance on December
10 at 7:00 pm in the Karl C. Bruder Theatre in
King Hall.

CableOne is the corporate sponsor for the
broadcast and Brickyard 20 Ale House will host
an after party where "The Wanted" will be
playing live. The cover charge at the door will
also support ESU Theatre scholarships.

EnArts announces The Toymaker and Me

EnArts

The Toymaker and Me by Marc Wayne: Nov 17-18, 22-
23: 7 pm; Nov 20: 7:30 pm

The Toymaker and Me tells the moving story of a
precocious orphan girl and a grumpy old toymaker
who in spite of repeated rejection and great
disappointment find the secret that gives life to
broken things. When a gift meets a need, sparks fly
and life happens. In Marc Wayne's The Toymaker and
Me, that life comes in surprisingly moving ways.

This premier production of Marc Wayne's The
Toymaker and Me is family-friendly and appropriate
for all ages. It may be especially appealing to
kids, as it focuses on a 12-year-old orphan girl
who in the process of discovering her unique
giftedness (her "spark") helps Mr. Baker, a grumpy
old toymaker, rediscover the joy and meaning of
life.

chapter of "Incompetents Hospital", spoof
commercials and satirical songs for the holiday
season.

admirers remains unknown. Discover with Amalia and
Georg the identity of their true loves and all the twists

The 39 Steps

24 October 2016


PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release



ESU Theatre presents a comic adaptation of a
Hitchcock masterpiece.

Emporia State University Theatre will present
The 39 Steps, adapted by Patrick Barlow from
the novel of the same name by John Buchan. The
show features Richard Hannay (Gabriel Diaz-
Serrano, freshman, Olathe), a Scotsman living a
completely ordinary and even boring life—until
he meets Pamela (Bailey B. Carter, senior,
Topeka), a mysterious woman claiming to be a
spy. After spending the night with her, he
awakens the next morning to find her murdered.
He soon finds himself on the run from a
mysterious organization known as "The 39
Steps." Hannay chases across Britain in order
to save himself and get back to his ordinary
life.

The show features over 150 characters despite
its small cast of 4. Most of those characters
are played by two clowns (Cameron Reynolds,
senior, Louisburg and Ryan Howerton, senior,
Haysville). Combining elements from classic spy
novels, gags from Monty Python, and the
dramatic elements of Alfred Hitchcock, this
show is filled with thrills, laughs, and a
death-defying finale.

The 39 Steps is under the direction of Theresa
Mitchell, who began working at ESU in 1999.
"I am most excited to create a pants-on-fire
paced spy thriller with a HUGE theatrical twist
with a fantastic student driven company."
Mitchell says. This will be the 30th play she
has directed at ESU.

Mitchell will have the assistance of stage
manager Tyler Lang (senior, Wichita) and
assistant stage manager Andrew Ralston
(sophomore, Topeka). Nancy J. Pontius is
designing the set and lighting, and Evan
Eisenbarth (senior, Cassoday) will design the
many costumes with help from Costumer Amanda
Dura. Assistant Professor Dan Matisa serves the
production as Dialect coach. Chris Lohkamp will
serve as both technical director and sound
designer.

The 39 Steps runs November 30th – December 3rd
at 7:30 pm. All performances will be in the
Karl C. Bruder Theatre in King Hall, located at
1301 Market Street. Tickets can be reserved at
the university box office or by calling 620-
341-6378.
