Tent Theatre 2008 Season
From the sublime to the slapstick, Tent Theatre's 46th summer season
brings three classic stories to life:
* Cyrano de Bergerac -- a romantic tale set in 17th century France, featuring swashbuckling sword play, rapier-sharp wit and passionate poetry! * You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown -- a joyful and inventive musical, based on beloved characters from Charles M. Schulz's popular "Peanuts" comic strip! * Anything Goes -- a fast-paced, jazz-age musical comedy, bursting with quintessential Cole Porter tunes and hilarious hijinks on the high seas!
Bring your family and friends, and enjoy the unique theatrical experience of "Poetry, Peanuts & Porter" at Missouri State University's summer Tent Theatre! Tickets go on sale May 19th; for information, please visit www.tenttheatre.com.

Tent Theatre Goes Equity
 Tent Theatre has signed an U/RTA (University/Resident Theatre) contract with
Actor's Equity for Tent this summer. Tent is the first Equity Theatre
Company in Southwest Missouri and we are very proud of this
accomplishment and the opportunity it holds for many years of great
summer theatre in the Ozarks.
For the first time in the 46 year history of Tent, we will be
performing as an Equity Company. This means that there will be six
Equity actors in, and an Equity Stage Manager for our three shows. The
contract will also enable our acting and musical theatre students to
earn EMC (Equity Membership Candidacy) points toward their Actor's
Equity membership. This will help them move up the audition chain when
they graduate, as all professional companies audition equity actors
first, then those who have EMC points. This summer we will be
presenting three plays: Cyrano de Bergerac, You're a Good Man Charlie
Brown, and Anything Goes. |
