Generic Theater Summer ConferenceSummer Theater Conference
Generic Theater

 July 19-31, 2010

Generic Theater down under Chrysler Hall opens its 30th anniversary season this August with its season opener, "Closer" by Patrick Marber, and celebrates this milestone anniversary by offering a two-week conference of free theater classes, workshops and panel discussions open to the public, from July 19-31. In its continuing effort to provide opportunities for developing artists, Generic aims to reinvigorate its unique place in area theater as the place to foster the artistic endeavors of upcoming talent with the skills and knowledge of professionals in their artistic fields. The conference reinforces Generic's mission and extends a bridge to new talent and faces to help area theater thrive into the next thirty years. Examples of free classes include Method acting, taught by talent agency owner Sylvia Hutson; auditioning for musical theater, taught by Virginia Opera Director of Community Engagement Jeff Corriveau; and stage management taught by award-winning stage manager Vincent DeSanto. Workshops include a week-long seminar on burlesque, culminating in a burlesque showcase, and a two-week long scene study workshop culminating in a festival of short plays.

Closer

Patrick Marber
Closer

August 20 - September 12, 2010

Directed by Brendan Hoyle

Patrick Marber creates a brilliant exploration into the brutal anatomy of modern romance, where a quartet of strangers meet, fall in love, and become caught up in a web of sexual desire and betrayal. Closer is hailed as one of the best plays of the nineties, and the London Observer noted that it “has wired itself into the cultural vocabulary in a way that few plays have ever done."
