Sci fi fandom and cosplay are satirized in Patience, a fully staged and orchestrated entertainment including lyrics and costumes inspired by multiple incarnations of Star Trek and Doctor Who. Bunthorne (a Spock fan), is worshipped by all the young ladies cosplay dressing to gain his attention, yet he holds an unrequited love for Patience. A rival Doctor Who fan, Grosvenor (11th Doctor), falls in love with her, too, but who will ultimately win her heart? The following are performance dates for this very clever adaptation of Patience by Director Doreen Finkelstein and Music Director Greg Anderson: Saturday, May 17th at 8pm Sunday, May 18th at 2pm Sunday, May 18th at 8pm Aptly being performed ‘under the stars’ at The Bowl, an amphitheater at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the production should feel like a fandom convention as we invite all audience members to come in Star Trek and Doctor Who costumes! To sweeten the deal, when you participate in our cosplay fun, just stop by the concession table during intermission for a complimentary treat (while supplies last). Tickets will be available soon through the Stanford Ticket Office. We’ll send out information and post links on our website’s home page as soon as they’re available. Patience Trivia and Meet the Cast & Staff To quote Bunthorne: "It is the wail of the fanfic writer's heart on discovering that everything is commonplace. To understand it, cling passionately to one another and think of Original Series, Season 1, Episode 24." Our newest foray into science fiction-themed G&S features Johnny Villar debuting with the Savoyards in the role of Bunthorne. Johnny is a Theatre Arts graduate from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, where he recently starred in the title role of Moliere’s The Misanthrope. Other notable roles include Jacob Marley in A Christmas Carol, Renfield in Dracula, and Feste the Fool in Twelfth Night, all at NDNU, as well as Guildenstern in The Half Moon Bay Shakespeare Company’s summer 2013 production of Hamlet. His short silent film, The Count’s Daughter, won the Portland Center Stage award for “Best Acting” in the 2013 International Youth Silent Film Festival. Accomplishing the galactic task of costuming Patience is a dedicated team under the direction of Lisa Lutkenhouse Lowe. Lisa has been designing theatrical costumes since 2005, when she designed Iolanthe for the Stanford Savoyards. She also costumed our Anime Mikado, Steampunk Zoo and Revue, and Firefly-themed Browncoats of Penzance, which Lisa also stage directed. She designed Lyric Theatre’s Edward Gorey-themed Ruddigore, a Bollywood Sorcerer, Rose of Persia, Kismet,Yeoman of the Guard, The Gondoliers, and The Grand Duke. Most recently Lisa designed Tosca for West Bay Opera, where she also supervises their costume shop and manages costume rentals. Non-opera projects include designs for Word for Word, Theatre Rhinoceros, Stage 1 Theatre, Berkeley Playhouse, and Boxcar Theatre. savoyards.stanford.edu _______________________________________________ savs-announce mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/savs-announce ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ Basfa mailing list [email protected] http://lists.basfa.org/listinfo.cgi/basfa-basfa.org
