ALUMNI THEATER AND FILM

	ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD   Alumni Hannah Steblay is the assistant director for Theatre in the Round's production of Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead, in which she will also appear as Ophelia. Alumni Connor Bohne will appear as Rosencrantz (or is it Guildenstern?). Deconstructed narratives are only fun when their farces: Take a look at Hamlet from the viewpoint of its minor characters, the college chums of the Prince of Denmark.   Theatre in the Round September 10th - October 3rd, 2010
	PROOF Alumna and Artistic Director Ellen Fenster directs Proof for the Phoenix Theater Project. After the death of her father, Catherine is left to pull together her own life; a life that was set aside to care for her ailing father, a famous mathematician. She must deal with his legacy; hundreds of notebooks that most likely hold the ramblings of a man slowly losing his genius, but may reveal the last great work of a brilliant mind.  Now she is forced to face her own life and can no longer avoid her possible inheritance; genius or insanity.   People's Center Theater September 10th - September 25th, 2010
	MASTER BUTCHERS SINGING CLUB   The Guthrie Theater will launch their 2010-2011 season with Master Butchers Singing Club, adapted from Louise Erdich's book by Marsha Norman. And alumni Emily Gunyou Halaas will be playing Delphine!   Guthrie Theater September 11th - November 7th, 2010
	COMPLETE READINGS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE   The American Shakespeare Repertory, founded by South High alumni Justin Alexander and Sarah Holmberg, is proud to present the Complete Readings of William Shakespeare - every play, poem, and sonnet (including a selection of the apocrypha!) in a series of staged readings spread over the next 18-24 months. Alumni Martha Heyl, Kelsey McMahon, and Hannah Steblay also star.   Richard II: Thomas of Woodstock - Gremlin Theater September 14th, 2010 Richard II - Gremlin Theater September 29th, 2010
	newsletter/shtaa2010-07.html  FULLY COMMITTED   Starring alumni Nathan Keepers. Fully Committed is a devastatingly funny play about a day in the life of Sam Peliczowski, an out-of-work actor who mans the red-hot reservation line at Manhattan’s number-one restaurant.  While juggling scheming socialites, name-dropping wannabes, fickle celebrities and egomaniacal bosses, can Sam manage to make it home for the holidays?   Jungle Theater November 5th - December 19th, 2010
	OPUS   A celebrated string quartet has their backs against a wall on the eve of their White House debut. They’ve had to replace their violist with gifted, inexperienced Grace, who’s never played Beethoven's difficult Opus 131. Opus explores the power and pettiness of collaboration... and what a girl's gotta do to play with the big boys. Alumni Emily Gunyou Halaas stars as Grace in Park Square Theater's area premiere.   Park Square Theater May 6th - May 29th, 2011
