EL DORADO - UMO ENSEMBLE AT ACT |
 August 19 - 28, 2010 A Central Heating Lab at ACT Event. UMO Ensemble celebrates 20 years in the Northwest with a new production of El Dorado, the internationally acclaimed show that's been called “A feast for the eyes and the mind” (The Victoria Times-Colonist) and “simply masterful” (The Stage, London). Created by UMO Ensemble in the style of ‘Buffoon Theatre,’ El Dorado’s grotesque, fantastical, irreverent Buffoons play at humanity and mock our follies, casting knowing glances at our obsession with power. El Dorado focuses on the Spanish conquistadors’ quest for the legendary “Kingdom of Gold” in the Americas. UMO’s buffoons direct their darkly comic, unbridled energies into a re-visitation of this quest, searching ruthlessly for the city of El Dorado and its mysterious secrets and treasures.

THE BELLE OF AMHERST WITH MARIA GLANZ: NOW PLAYING AT THE CENTER HOUSE |
 Back by popular demand, Sound Theatre Company’s production of The Belle of Amherst starring Maria Glanz returns for limited engagement. Don’t miss the production the Seattle Times calls “Exquisite…A jewel with every aspect in perfect alignment…glorious!” One of the most beloved American poets, Emily Dickinson is known only through her letters and her vast collection of poems; much of her private, secluded life in Amherst, Massachusetts, in the mid-nineteenth century remains a mystery. Her poetry, published after her death, reveals a contemporary sensibility that transcends the limitations of her provincial life, her gender and her era. Accompanied by cellist Brad Hawkins’ live original musical score, William Luce’s tour de force one-woman drama utilizes these writings to depict a witty, passionate, and conflicted woman wrestling with the largest questions of existence.

| | Ask the Auditor |
Quick tip ...
Why didn't *I* get that part? Directors help keep a theater viable - besides following an artistic vision. They must balance what the company wants with which actors audition. Your skills must balance well with others who would be cast. Its a question of timing & chemistry & - YES! - fate. All as difficult as finding the right career, meeting a soulmate or making a leap in learning. Don't sweat it - there is enough theater to go around for all of us.
Need some advice or have a question, ask theAuditor

Created by a longtime talent agent, who was fed up with all of the wasted time, money and heartache expended by ill-prepared "newbies." You'll laugh, you'll sigh and you'll be forever grateful.
