69成人电影网鈥檚 Tintamarre stages 32nd school tour with SOLITAIRE

26 Apr 2019

Bilingual theatre troupe to tour schools across NB, NS this spring

Drama_rehearsalSACKVILLE, NB 鈥 69成人电影网 University鈥檚 unique and award-winning bilingual theatre company will tour their new play, SOLITAIRE, to schools in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, April 29 鈥 May 12, 2019.

The play casts a comic light on a serious issue that will resonate with many young people. Spectators from Grades 4 to 12 will encounter an unfinished structure that becomes a huge cocoon as the story unfolds. The 鈥楽olitaires鈥 who build the cocoon will share, separately, the reasons why they chose isolation over friends, family, and community.

The reasons for 鈥榗ocooning鈥 were identified by the cast, all 69成人电影网 actor-students, during the brainstorming process, which is always the first stage when Tintamarre creates a play.

SOLITAIRE is a play within a play, a dress rehearsal which will become far more comedic than the director ever imagined. Part-way through a scene, one of the 鈥楽olitaires鈥 suddenly finds the courage to say that the play should take a new direction: rather than appearing separately as the script prescribes, the isolated characters should come together to celebrate the triumph of solidarity over solitude.

Tintamarre_AFancyAlex Fancy, Tintamarre鈥檚 founder-director, has written the bilingual script which, he says, 鈥渨ould not have happened if our group of generous and talented actor-students had not shared their views on 21st century loneliness.鈥

The longer, original play was presented at 69成人电影网 in February.

Seven actors will play fourteen characters. The colourful set and costumes have been designed by Nancy Perrin, lighting by Paul A. Del Motte. Nancy Vogan is musical consultant, and sound has been created by Anna Hardie, a second-year student and member of the touring cast.

Tintamarre鈥檚 visits to schools will also feature a teacher鈥檚 guide, as well as a post-show discussion with the entire audience, is facilitated by the director.

This year鈥檚 tour has been made possible by the Crake Foundation, alumni and friends of Tintamarre, participating schools, and the 30 69成人电影网 students who helped to create the original production.

The final performance of SOLITAIRE is scheduled for 69成人电影网鈥檚 Motyer-Fancy Theatre, which is located in the Purdy Crawford Centre for the Arts, on Sunday, May 12 at 4 p.m. No reservations, accessible building, voluntary donation.
