Come see My Kingdom for a Whore this weekend in the '92!

A Second Stage Production

Written by Rob Boyd '08, directed by Rob Boyd '08 Lizzy Susca '09

Once upon a time, a young unassuming lad accidentally became the king of a small European nation. It isn't long before he finds himself lost in a sea of booze, strippers, kitten-punching homicidal assistants, and plenty of plain ol' sex. Can he lose his virginity? Will he ever finally swim with dolphins? What would his mother think?

Show times:
Thursday @ 8pm
Friday @ 9pm
Saturday @ 4pm and 8pm (Note: the video says 2 pm; it's wrong)

Stage Management Forum

Tori Amoscato '08 and Annie Paladino '09 write in to tell us that they'll be hosting a not-for-credit forum on stage management this semester:

Interested in learning about Stage Management?

Stage Managing a show this semester and want to have a group of people to bounce ideas off of?

Come be a part of a not-for-credit, discussion-based student forum on Stage Management.

Shows are always in need of competent Stage Managers, and this is a great way to get involved in theater at Wesleyan or just see how this process works!

Our first meeting will be this Tuesday, January 29th from 12-1 in the '92 Green Room. (Go to the '92, go backstage and downstairs, it's the second room on the left). We will be handing out syllabi and course materials at this meeting. Classes will meet every other week at the same time, and we will be holding office hours on the off weeks. Spaces are limited, and we will be determining the class list at this first meeting, so please arrive on time. If you are interested and can't make it, email one of us (email addresses are below).

Questions? Contact Tori Amoscato '08 (tamoscato@gmail.com) or Annie Paladino '09 (anniepaladino@gmail.com).

Miss[(ed) it]

Sometimes people say fabulously witty things, coining insightful new aphorisms at the drop of a hat that will go down in the annals of lexicography as the words that forever changed the course of modern intellectual thought. Sometimes people just say really weird stuff at Usdan. Come to Miss[(ed) It] and see some of Wesleyan's most shining examples of the latter, savagely decontexualized and lovingly reanimated into a Frankenstein's monster of theatrical exploration that WON'T be tragically misunderstood and chased out of town by a vicious mob. At least, we're hoping it won't.

Dates: Thursday, September 27th, and Friday, September 28th
Time: 8pm and 9:30pm
Venue: '92 Theater

Manuscript

Manuscript:

Sex, drugs, and creative writing: For David, Chris, and Elizabeth, these are the things that really light their fire as they charge through their freshman year of college. They’ll have plenty of each when they reunite, during Winter break from their respective Universities (Yale and Harvard), in David’s Brooklyn Brownstone. Gauntlets are thrown and obscure cultural references are hurled as secrets stir and motives manifest. Three students put their stake in love, lust, and literature, as they try to distinguish fact from fiction in the poetry of two wild nights.
