Hi all,
I just returned from India and am now feeling the DISF withdrawal that most of you felt on June 28 :-)
Thanks to everyone for all the work that went into the play, from bay windows to car rides to bald caps to shaved heads
to set dismantling to chatting up cow ladies :-)
 
As most of you know, we are starting preparations for our next production.
Please come for auditions, and come to watch the play!
 
Sujit
 
ps: Harish, can you make sure everyone on this list is on the mailing list.

Sujit,

Now that you are back and the dust has settled down on DISF, and you are hopefully not in full swing on the next one, ie, The Jungle Book, could you request you to take a few minutes to provide some critical feedback on my performance in DISF. Basically, what went right, and more importantly what was not right and could have been done better. 

This was perhaps very painfully obvious to you that I was pretty raw in acting, I did try to ramp up and catch up with the more expert folks in the second month of rehearsals and subsequently.

Constructive criticism would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi:  Some of you had mentioned interest in the Stanford Drama Department production of “Curse of the Starving Class” written by Sam Shepard.  Its an all  American Classic staged and in the  very intimate Pigott theater.  I like watching Summer theater because they usually put up productions in an incredibly short time .... and the sets are pretty good – all done by students ….  The actors are not all students – mixture of faculty and students… and some outsiders

 

For the first time there are no Staff Discounts – So it’s a straight $25 unless you are a senior or youth.  I am planning to see it on one of the Thursdays.   Probably tomorrow.  It runs through August 12.    Let me know if there is some interest in this.  Then maybe we can by tickets on the same day.

 

 

Cheers


Ranjita

Hey Ranjita,

Hello DISF Friends.  You all acted in a play with Naatak which today runs like a well oiled machine. Come see a play with a 1+ yr old theater group - IndieStage where there is no machine much less oiled.  The director is single handedly calling lights, sounds, the show and yes even filling in for the cast many of who are brand new to acting who may not show up at rehearsals.  Minimalist production is perhaps a good way to put it.  Having said that the script is hilarious and relevant. 


In short despite some obvious flaws it may be an enjoyable play.  Come and see this family drama... just come - yes - this will give you an opportunity to critique.  :-)
