Inland Theatre Works Presents
Grease and Taming of the Shrew!
Actors paid stipends!
In our 5th season we explore troubled relationships in the 1950s.
The summer lovers, Danny and Sandy, are balanced by a not-so-perfect 50s couple, Kate and Petruchio in our version of the Taming of the Shrew.
Auditions are June 15 and 16 from 5 – 8pm at the Sturges Theatre, with callbacks on the 17th.

Actors should prepare 16 measures of a song that best showcases your voice, consideration of the 50s style of music would be helpful. Accompaniment will be provided, and sheet music should be clearly marked and in the appropriate key. Actors should also come prepared to read from the script and will learn a short dance routine. Please dress accordingly, including footwear.
For Shrew: Director Tom Provenzano
Actors should prepare a one minute monologue, preferably Shakespeare, and be prepared to read from the script.
Performances September 10th – 20th
at the Sturges Theatre in downtown San Bernardino

Posted by: webmaster
Unfortunately, due to budget cutbacks, we will not be able to offer a Drama Camp for the summer of 2009. Hopefully, next summer we will have funding to bring the camp back. If you would like to send us a letter stating how much you or your child liked or benefitted from the camp, then we could include those letters in our proposals as we search for more funding options.
Please send letters to:

01/08: 3D Theatre Festival NEWS!
3D Short Play Festival (the sequel) planned for 2010
We've decided to have a sequel to the successful short play festival we started last year. However, like any good sequel, we've decided to make the audience wait two years to see the next installment. The main reason for the wait is to focus all of our energies on planning for the summer of 2009, which promises to be our best summer yet, with a new bigger and better venue and a goal of adding a couple of union actors to our wonderful pool of local talent. Stay tuned.

Two Gentlemen of Verona
"Comedy, love and a bit with a dog" - from Shakespeare in Love referring to Two Gentlemen of Verona. In Shakespeare’s earliest comedy, he takes us on a journey from "boring" Verona to "fabulous" Milan to a lawless Italian forest. Proteus and Valentine are best friends, but the bounds and bonds of friendship are tested when they both want the same girl. See the original characters that would be echoed in his future plays, his first use of cross dressing, lovers that would reappear in a summer’s dream, and hints of many of his other future characters. Throw in a real dog (who may or may not bark in verse) and you never know what will happen.

Othello
Othello is unique among Shakespeare’s masterpieces for its purity of story and morality. A black man in a white society, Othello has earned immense respect and honored military position – but does he go too far when he woos Desdemona, the epitome of white beauty and goodness. Their marriage represents absolute virtue, which can only be destroyed by equal malfeasance. That degree of evil quickly provided by Shakespeare’s most perfect villain, Iago who plots to vanquish the happiness surrounding him

In its first public reading Wish of an Almost Widow -by Molly Gross
In 1938, on the vast, dry farmland of Indiana, walls and dreams are under construction in a tattered farmhouse where Lily and Trevor are hoping to build a family. When the county Sheriff's long-festering love for Lily mutates into jealous and possessive violence, he rapes her, not predicting Trevor's vengeful attack that results in his death. One year later, Lily finally visits Trevor in prison on the morning of his execution, where their make-believe games aid in the denial of his fate. As time alternates between the past and present, secrets are revealed as to why Trevor and Lily made the decisions they did, but not all secrets will emerge, for as a husband approaches death, there may be certain things an almost-widow does not wish him to know.
Free with a reception after
