Sweet
Fantasy
Theatre Workshop’s second production. Presented in
June, 1996. |
By the
second semester of Theatre Workshop, our expectations are
clear from the beginning- working hard on another original
theater piece. Our class now has slightly more experienced
students, most who were a part of the first show, working
to create the next one. This one is a bit more ambitious and
focused, a little larger in scope than the previous one- now
two short acts instead of only one. The show develops a sharper
version of the theme originally explored the semester before.
The concept of fantasy is used as a metaphor for a life with
limitless possibilities. This includes a more peaceful world
with greater understanding of all that challenges us in our
families and community. Highlights include: West Side Story’s
"Officer Krupke", with a female Officer Krupke,
"Rain" a modern dance statement about physical and
emotional abuse; a comic version of "Sailor Moon";
TW’s first group hip hop dance performed to Mariah Carey’s
"Sweet Fantasy", the pro-environment song "Air",
and a creative interpretation of Romeo and Juliet’s death
scenes. The show’s finale includes the full cast and
a stage full of bouncing, colorful balloons, a symbol of freedom
and forgiveness and hope.
With this
show, TW also began its commitment to community with a performance
on the steps of City Hall as part of a citywide anti-violence
demonstration.
