The 2011 - 2012
Season: Love/Alienation
|
|
We are lucky in COS to have a group like Star Bar that is
willing to take a chance on a risky play like "Bug" -- or, for that
matter, "Waiting for Godot" last Fall. -- "Bug" is not an easy play.
We witness how seemingly normal people in the first act are drawn
into a psychotic world of paranoia and conspiracy theory in the
second act. Not the most uplifting theme in the world! -- The
transition is tough, and the playwright doesn't really help. Three
weaknesses of the main character are revealed in the first act, and
none are used in the second act to make the transition believable.
The actors have to do that all on their own. The Star Bar players
are powerful and should be supported, in my view, even if only
because they are willing take huge risks -- like this one. THE BEST OF THE SPRINGS 2011: Star Bar scored for best play, best makeup and best director! Thanks, Gazette!
September, 2011: Star Bar is honored to have received two nods from the Pikes Peak Arts Council: Waiting for Godot was nominated for Outstanding Production, while our very own Elizabeth Kahn Lanning won the award for Best Actress for her performances in Bug and Why Torture is Wrong!
