Anton @ Art Lab

A theater update:

Anton in Showbusiness

The Open Stage ETC performed at the first Art Lab location last month. While it was strange to have a theater production in an abandoned office space, this crazy theatrical story retelling of Checkov's 'The Three Sisters' seemed to fit perfectly. The local Fort Collins theater crowd didn't catch on to this gem until it was too late (it also didn't help when the people at the Lincoln Center box office couldn't give exact details on the location of the Art Lab!) The ECT should do it again sometime soon because it was just that good!

...and of course the Art Lab is a moving target!

The new Art Lab Location, I think.

It could be at 239 Linden Street, but the Art Lab website and Facebook has yet to be updated. Bloco em Foco is planning on blasting through the walls as soon as someone is brave enough to give them the keys!

Also seen:

The Open Stage performance of "The One-eyed Man is King" by Carter Lewis. Directed by Bruce Freestone, the story is based on an H.G. Wells story and uses dramatic breaks between light and dark to help give contrast (blind folks vs. them's with sight). You get the idea early on, so it seemed a little long at times. IOW, A simulated gun shot in the first act helped keep me awake. Oh well. Looking forward to next month at the Bas Bleu for:

'Vaughn NM, Christmas Eve, 1956' & 'A Child's Christmas in Wales'
