Ensemble Retreat

We had a wonderful Ensemble Retreat at the Creekstone Inn in Idyllwild from June 1-4. Ensemble member Jack Missett was generous enough to sponsor the retreat (we had the entire Inn to ourselves) and we got a lot of work done and had a ton of fun. Here’s a photo from our night out at Cafe Aroma:

Amanda Sitton, Amanda Morrow, Tom Zohar, Joshua Everett Johnson, Kristianne Kurner, Wendy Waddell & Jack Missett. (Also attended but not in photo: Manny Fernandes & Adam Brick. Not able to attend: Dana Case, Rachael VanWormer, Ron Choularton, Daren Scott & Sandra Ellis-Troy).

We worked on defining what it is that New Village Arts does that is unique, what we believe as theatre artists, and the kind of environment we want to create to enable that art to happen.

Check out our Ensemble Members in the following shows:

Amanda Sitton, Joshua Everett Johnson & Manny Fernandes: Golden Boy at NVA

Tom Zohar: Yank! at Diversionary Theatre (opens in July)

Sandra Ellis-Troy: Crazy for You at Starlight Theatre

Rachael VanWormer: The Listener at Moxie Theatre

Shakespeare Switcheroo

Look below this post for the press release explaining the change in the Shakespeare for this year. We are thrilled with the cast and elated that Rob Salas, who originally signed on to direct The Tempest, will be able to direct The CompletE Works of Wllm Shkspr (Abridged) for us.

2008-2009 Season

We have selected the upcoming season. We shared it with a very enthusiastic Ensemble over the weekend, and are looking forward to sharing it with you all. We’re working on the press release now and we will be doing a full season announcement on June 16th before the reading of Woman Before a Glass (featuring Sandra Ellis-Troy).

Staff Changes. Again.

We’ll be announcing a new, full-time staff position shortly. We’re really excited about making some shifts around here and look forward to seeing who steps up for the job. We’ll announce as soon as we hammer out the details but if you’re on the hunt for a dynamic, exciting, face paced and challenging position with one of the hottest theatres in town, watch this space.

Looking forward to seeing you all at the theatre!
