Add Review/Comment

Weaver Academy for the Performing and Visual Arts is presenting their original adaptation of Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author. His original 1921 production met very mixed reviews, forcing the author and his daughter from the theatre. Its subsequent performance in Milan; however, met with great success. The show is an artistic look at theatre as a means of storytelling and an analysis of the very thin line between character and actor. The production is an exploration of meta-theatre, a style in which characters are aware of the fact that they are just that, characters. “Being in Six Characters… is more than just a role in a show; it is an opportunity to explore the dynamics of character development and theatre itself,” says senior Claire Atwell. “I think everyone in the cast has also thoroughly enjoyed adapting the original script to fit Weaver’s production, which gives actors a greater sense of responsibility in the final product.”The Weaver Theatre Department invites all to come out and experience this unique production. The show runs May 24th-26th at 7:00pm and May 27th at 2:00pm. Tickets are $8.00 for adults and $4.00 for students.
