The following was submitted by Orcas Center.
Here’s your opportunity for an immersion and/or a refresher in great theatre: three major theatre works from three major writers from three totally different periods of history.
From the Greek classic of Euripides, to one of the most famous American playwrights Tennessee Williams, to the contemporary renowned David Hare, Orcas Center will stream their works live: “Medea,” “Streetcar Named Desire” and “Skylight.”
Each play is performed by a stellar cast including Gillian Anderson, Ben Foster, Bill Nighy, Carey Mulligan and Helen McCrory.
Each production is filled with innovative and ofttimes ingenious sets and sometimes multiple and revolving stages and costumes reflecting three different periods from the Greeks (415 BC) to the 1950s to today.
Get your tickets now for these three major theatre works from National Theatre Live:
• “Medea,” Thursday, Sept. 4
• “Streetcar Named Desire,” Thursday, Sept. 25
• “Skylight,” Thursday, Oct. 23
All performances are at 7:30 p.m.
In addition to local productions at the Actors Theater, Orcas Center and other island venues, you now have the opportunity to leave our magical island and be transported to England or Broadway through technology to see live performance. You will experience yourself in England watching live theatre with a theatre culture that treasures the past and the present.
Check this link to get a taste of what you may look forward to experiencing in the theatre via Orcas Center’s 30 foot HD screen and state of the art surround sound: http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/
If you’re a theatre lover or an infrequent attendee, if you love community theatre productions, take a virtual trip off island to the London stage and be transported by these experiences.
Come one come all. Teachers: bring your students, friends bring friends. Share the experience with those who just might treasure it as much as you do. If you are already an NT Live regular attendee, commit to bringing just one person with you to experience it.
Again, this is NOT film; this is live and you will experience yourself in London seated in the second row of the National Theatre. Take yourselves on this voyage through theatre history from your own seat at Orcas Center.
Tickets for each of these NT Live presentations are $18, $13 for students, $2 off for Orcas Center members, and may be purchased at www.orcascenter.org or by calling 376-2281 ext. 1 or visiting the Orcas Center Box Office open Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.
