BONUS - GRENADINE by Neil Wechsler

BONUS - GRENADINE by Neil Wechsler

As part of it's bimonthly radio program, The ETC Digital Theatre Hour on WUTC 88.1 FM (an NPR affiliate station), The Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga presented Neil Wechsler's play GRENADINE.  "GRENADINE is pure fun, it is fantastically delicious, engagingly imaginative and even pushes the button of your heart.  While simple in story, it is massive in the message of not taking oneself or one's journey too seriously," mentions Garry Lee Posey (ETC's founder and executive artistic director)

The play follows a group of cohorts on a journey to find the long lost love of one of that group's life.  It is a journey that introduces the group to a host of challenges and characters while challenging their connection to each other and their connection to the world.  "The play ends with such a dramatic sensibility that you never see coming," mentions Posey.


The cast includes:

Gage Goza as PRISMATIC

Jacob Moore as SCONCE

Courtenay Cholovich as PYX

Christopher Hrozencik-Snyder as GROVE

Casey Keelen as FEMALE ENSEMBLE

Amir Andalib as MALE ENSEMBLE

Garry Lee Posey as MALE ENSEMBLE

BONUS - FOUR SHORTS by Garry Lee Posey

BONUS - FOUR SHORTS by Garry Lee Posey

For several years, Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga presented a series of original works written by local playwrights conceived by and performed in front pieces of art at the Hunter Museum of American Art.  We called this performance CASTING THE CANVAS.  "It was an experiment of mixing mediums in an effort to showcase how the different ways individuals can experience visual art.  Our writers included established playwrights, novice playwrights, fiction writers and willing enthusiasts with no prior writing experience."

Six to Eight scripts were curated, rehearsed and performed throughout the museum.  A guide would lead the audiences to each of the galleries housing the art where the play would be performed with the art creating the backdrop.  Three of the four plays in this series by playwright Garry were included in various Casting the Canvas events, they are:

FUGUE IN D

Terrance Wright, Brenda Schwab, Garry Lee Posey,  Christy Gallo

Subway - 14th Street - Hunter Museum inspiration

Two Men - Hunter Museum inspiration

(Gaiety) Burlesque (also known as Irving Palace Burlesque) - Hunter Museum inspiration

Glen (Ireland) - Hunter Museum inspiration

American Gothic, Washington D.C. - Hunter Museum Inspiration


TWELVE IRONS IN THE FIRE

Garry Lee Posey, Taylor Williams, Kashun Parks


GOODWILLED

Kashun Parks, Taylor Williams, Maggie Williams, Eric Red Wyatt, Taylor Williams, Jesse McCecil

Alone Together IX - Hunter Museum inspiration


The other play in the series premiered as part of Ensemble Theatre of Chattanooga's SHORT ATTENTION SPAN THEATRE Short Play Festival and then performed again as part of the Drive By Theatre Festival in Atlanta, Georgia.

TAKING IN THE PEACEFULNESS

Maggie Williams, Megan Smith, Christy Gallo, John Thomas McCecil

INSULTED BELARUS Act Two

INSULTED BELARUS Act Two

Today on Lights Up, we present the third of a three part series. 

If you haven't been following the atrocities happening in Belarus over the rigged election of Alexander Lukashenka, known as the last European dictator, then prepare yourself for quite the story. If you are aware of what is happening in Belarus, then prepare yourself for a story that is part documentary, part creative license, but fully rooted in a live and still developing narrative.

INSULTED BELARUS by Andrei Kureichik has been translated into English by John Freedman. Together the two of them have been disseminating this play across the world. 190 events involving a reading of the play to date, over 25 translations in 23 different countries, with 43 having happened already in the United States. This play is part of a revolution in a country where democracy doesn't really exist. In a country where artists have been forced from the counties, where opposition candidates are thrown in jail as enemies of the state preventing them the opportunity to run for President. In a country where riot police, from another country, enforce the laws of a man who refuses to give up control.

Part One:

Interview with John Freedman by Dana Colagiovanni and Garry Posey

Part Two:

Act One of INSULTED BELARUS featuring performers Libby Lindsey, Bonnie Stoloff, Shannan Osborn-Bilyeu, Eric "Red" Wyatt, John Thomas McCecil, Gage Goza and Garry Lee Posey

Part Three:

Act Two of INSULTED BELARUS
