Charlestown Working Theater and Whistler in the Dark Theatre join
forces this September to present a special two-week festival featuring
encore performances of two highly acclaimed productions. All the
Journeying Ways, running from September 14th-25th at the Charlestown
Working Theater, will feature the CWT's two-actor interpretation
of The Odyssey and a re-explored version of Whistler's 2009 season
production of The Bacchae.
This two-week celebration of two of ancient Greece's most revered
writers takes stories and characters we have embraced over the
centuries and breathes new life into the tales we think we know.
During its 2011-12 season the Charlestown Working Theater is focusing
on presenting the work of several excellent Boston-based companies.
These companies include Orfeo Group, Whistler in the Dark, Theatre on
Fire, and Beau Jest Moving Theater. During it's 2010-11 season CWT
presented five international projects. Last year CWT's The Odyssey
toured to Yerevan Armenia as part of an exchange with Armenia's
National Center for Aesthetics.
"After a great season of international projects we are really excited
and interested in turning our focus to extraordinary artists in our
hometown" states Jennifer Johnson, CWT Co-Director and actor/director
of The Odyssey.
"It is particularly exciting to us to be able to revisit our staging
of The Bacchae in collaboration with our friends at the Charlestown
Working Theater," says Artistic Director Meg Taintor. "Both of these
productions explore epic sagas and huge emotional journeys in the
close confines of one of Boston's most intimate theatres."
All the Journeying Ways opens September 14th at the Charlestown
Working Theater..
