Can't wait to share this next month! #Repost @el Can't wait to share this next month! #Repost @elitetheatreco • • • • • • This Halloween, something wicked comes to a screen near you, as the Elite Theatre Company will stream the FireMuse Shakespeare production of "Minds Full of Scorpions," premiering Friday, October 30, at 7:30pm. "Minds Full of Scorpions" is a digital retelling of Shakespeare's classic Macbeth, re-imagining the tragedy as the fragmented remembrances of the King and Queen in the moments before their deaths; in this stripped-down, twenty-five minute re-vision, the two characters relive the moments and decisions that have brought them to this point, hearing the voices of the past, as well as imagining what their "dearest partner of greatness" has experienced. Director Bill Walthall has assembled a stellar cast for the production: Genevieve Levin as the Queen and Adam Womack as the King, with Ezra Eells, Rosie Gordon, and Dani Orjala providing the chorus of 12 voices haunting the royal couple. While the stream is FREE to the public, donations for the Elite will be accepted and appreciated. Follow the Elite on Facebook (@EliteTheatreCompany), Twitter (@EliteTheatreCo), and Instagram (@elitetheatreco) for more details and viewing specifics coming soon.

Fuck you, @skipbayless ... A leader shares his hu Fuck you, @skipbayless ... A leader shares his humanity with his team... only a selfish, solitary, pontificating blowhard doesn't understand that.

It's on tape, people. Feb. 7 [interview with Wood It's on tape, people. Feb. 7 [interview with Woodward]: "It goes through the air. That's always tougher than the touch. You don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breathe the air and that's how it's passed. And so that's a very tricky one. That's a very delicate one. It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus. You know, people don't realize, we lose 25,000, 30,000 people a year here. Who would ever think that, right? ... This is more deadly. This is five per-- you know, this is five percent versus one percent, and less than one percent. You know? So, this is deadly stuff." Feb. 27 [public remarks]: "It's going to disappear. One day it's like a miracle, it will disappear ... from our shores, you know, it could get worse before it gets better. Could maybe go away. We'll see what happens. Nobody really knows. ... We have done an incredible job. We're going to continue ... the 15 (current cases) will soon be down to three, four." Mar. 19 [interview with Woodward]: "Just today and yesterday, some startling facts came out. It's not just old, older. Young people too, plenty of young people...I wanted to always play it down, I still like playing it down." Apr. 3 [task force briefing]: "I said it's going away and it is going away." Apr. 5 [interview with Woodward]: "It's a horrible thing. It's unbelievable." Apr. 13 [interview with Woodward]: "It's so easily transmissible, you wouldn't even believe it." Aug. 5 [task force briefing]: “If you look at children, children are almost — I would almost say definitely — but almost immune from this disease. So few — they’ve gotten stronger. Hard to believe. I don’t know how you feel about it, but they have much stronger immune systems than we do, somehow, for this. And they don’t have a problem. They just don’t have a problem.” This -- and I'm trying desperately to find some non-subjective noun to use but I can't so I'll leave it as ... -- "elected official" knew from February that this virus was deadly, has known since March that children were susceptible, and yet has lied and misled the people of this nation relentlessly. OK, Trump supporters, explain THIS away. You claim that everything els

It is with disappointment that I announce the post It is with disappointment that I announce the postponement of ANDRONICUS from its projected (and already delayed) run on the Elite's ETCetera Stage September 25 - October 18. The (nearly) all-female production of Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy is now on an indefinite hiatus, until it is safe enough to perform the production before a live audience. This has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my directorial career. This cast and staff have been nothing if not flexible, responsive, and undeniably creative. While I know this hiatus will result in some members of the production leaving for other opportunities, it is in the best interests of the cast, the crew, and the production staff, past and present, that we not draw out this decision or the process of making it. I thank you all, and look forward to blowing audiences away in 2021.
