SUMMARY:The Tattooed Man Tells All - International YouTube Screening
DESCRIPTION:The Tattooed Man Tells All – Special International Screening\nby Peter Wortsman\nfeaturing Keith Langsdale\nNovember 14 @ 2:30 pm \nThis will be a private YouTube Live screening of The Tattooed Man Tells All\, available for viewers abroad and in different time zones. \nPlease follow the instructions below to purchase tickets for this special viewing:\nTickets are $10 each\, using the PayPal link below. You may buy more than one ticket using this link.\nForeign currency (including Canada) may be used for payment at this site.\nIn the NOTES section\, please indicate that you are paying for tickets to the Tattooed Man viewing on Saturday at 2:30 EST. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease keep in mind the time difference from the US East Coast. Orders for tickets for this viewing need to be in no later than 11:59 pm EST on November 13. \n\nDue to strong language this show is not recommended for anyone under 16 years of age. \nFree live ZOOM discussion with Playwright Peter Wortsman following the November 13 viewing. Contact silverthornetheater@gmail.com for link to ZOOM session.\nThis production is a fundraiser for Silverthorne Theater. \nSilverthorne Theater is honored to bring to audiences world-wide an important piece of dramatic writing\, The Tattooed Man Tells All – a vital voice in the telling of the stories of the Holocaust.  Peter Wortsman’s gripping solo piece\, was woven from a series of interviews conducted in Vienna in 1975 with witnesses to and survivors of the Holocaust\, the scene of Western Civilization’s worst excesses. \nSTC mounted the live premiere production of this play under the direction of Ellen Kaplan in May 2018. This film is available online on a pay-per-view basis on the above dates. Organizations wishing to rent the film subsequent to these showing should contact us at silverthornetheater@gmail.com [link] \n\nMore about the play \nBy condensing these accounts into that of a survivor who is committed to a no-holds-barred retelling\, Wortsman gives us a fully fleshed out dramatic character\, the Old Man\, warts and all\, for the audience to come to know. \nAs the playwright says in his introduction\, “The interchange[s] recorded on tape [were] painful to revisit…for my interlocutors’ merciless bluntness…[T]he subject of which [the Old Man] speaks has since been loaded with a leaden label\, idealized and idolized\, riddled with spotlights\, torchlit for moral uplift\, hagioscopically highlighted with a reverence formerly reserved for the Crucifixion. \nThe audience becomes the interviewer to whom the Old Man talks\, retelling and reliving his time in the camp. “I could be whatever they wanted…melt in…become part of the landscape…or better yet\, turn into thin air so they could look right through me.” \nFrom his closet comes his camp uniform that quickly assumes a life of its own. The stories weave in and out of the Old Man’s memories and paint a picture both fascinating and horrifying. \nWhy now? Now we need to hear and see again what ‘humanity’ is capable of under duress and at its darkest moments. “You can’t just dispose of the past\, cut it out like a malignant tumor! It’s still there\, it’s still an intimate part of me…” Playwright Peter Wortsman \n“I admired The Tattooed Man Tells All. It seems to me you handle both subject and dialogue with just the right degree of passion and distance. […] Congratulations. I would imagine it is a part one of the best actors would like to take on.” The late Arnold Wesker

SUMMARY:Tales of the Lost Formicans - The Play and its Context
DESCRIPTION:TALES OF THE LOST FORMICANS\, by Constance Congdon \nAmherst College professor Congdon’s play has achieved the status of a modern classic This witty and passionate play explores the story of a man with Alzheimer’s and at the same time turns into “a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens from outer space.” \nLife is not organized around a coherent narrative\, despite how much we would like it to be. Life can be messy\, jumpy\, nonlinear\, fragmentary and discordant\, and we might find ourselves desperately trying to make sense out of it. Tales of the Lost Formicans reflects this messiness and the effort to make sense of it\, both in its content and in its form. \nIn this session\, we will talk about the themes of this play: adolescence\, aging parent\, lost love and divorce\, memory\, and the strength of the familial unit\, and how the playwright’s use of the device of the futuristic Alien archaelogoists observing the behavior and artifacts of a dysfunctional mid-western American family affects the way we see it ourselves. \nNOTE: THIS SESSION WILL TAKE PLACE DURING THE CENTER’S FREE LUNCH TO WHICH ALL PARTICIPANTS ARE INVITED. SO THE CENTER WILL HAVE AN ACCURATE COUNT OF ATTENDEES\, YOU MUST CALL (413) 498-2186 TO MAKE A RESERVATION\,

SUMMARY:Tales of the Lost Formicans - The play and its context
DESCRIPTION:TALES OF THE LOST FORMICANS\, by Constance Congdon \nAmherst College professor Congdon’s play has achieved the status of a modern classic This witty and passionate play explores the story of a man with Alzheimer’s and at the same time turns into “a travel guide to Middle America conducted by aliens from outer space.” \nLife is not organized around a coherent narrative\, despite how much we would like it to be. Life can be messy\, jumpy\, nonlinear\, fragmentary and discordant\, and we might find ourselves desperately trying to make sense out of it. Tales of the Lost Formicans reflects this messiness and the effort to make sense of it\, both in its content and in its form. \nIn this session\, we will talk about the themes of this play: adolescence\, aging parent\, lost love and divorce\, memory\, and the strength of the familial unit\, and how the playwright’s use of the device of the futuristic Alien archaelogoists observing the behavior and artifacts of a dysfunctional mid-western American family affects the way we see it ourselves.

SUMMARY:Rock Around the Block
DESCRIPTION:Get out the bobby sox and the blue suede shoes for an evening of 1950s food\, dance and fun!   On Saturday\, March 30 from 7 to 10 pm\, downtown Greenfield is the place to be for ROCK AROUND THE BLOCK\, Silverthorne Theater’s spring spectacular benefit party. The Perch\, Hawks & Reed’s fourth floor performance space will be transformed into THE hot spot for a 50s-style sock hop – think of all those high school gyms suddenly becoming places of anticipation and romance. DJ ‘Rockin’ Johnnie’ will spin the platters while you dance\, reminisce\, or find out what the 50s were all about! \nFrom 7 to 7:30 pm\, dance instructors will teach you newbies (or you veterans who just need a refresher) swing\, jitterbug and good old rock and roll! And what would a sock hop be without pizza? ­­­­­Multiple area pizza houses will vie for the top spot in a Battle of the Pies with partygoers enjoying sample bites from each before casting their votes. \nAnd here’s a great deal! Anyone under 40 pays only $35; 41 and older\, tickets are $55. (Couples with one person under 40 get the lower rate.) Costumes optional\, but when else are you going to be able to connect with your inner Elvis or Brenda Lee? Be there or be square. \nThe Perch at Hawks & Reed Performing Arts Center at 289 Main Street\, Greenfield\, is fully handicapped accessible. Beverages will be available at H & R’s cash bar\, and snacks and dessert part of the fun! \nAll proceeds from the event benefit Silverthorne’s upcoming 2019 Season that opens April 25 with Tales of the Lost Formicans\, Amherst playwright Constance Congdon’s classic story of futuristic Alien archaeologists struggling to make sense of the life and mores of a dysfunctional 20th century mid-western American family . \n
