I meant to post this earlier, but still time. Check out Doris to Darlene, the new show at the Theatre Arts and Performance Studies Department at Brown. the next show to go up for the Theatre Arts and Performance Studies Dept at Brown University. This show a Senior Showcase Performance — it’s directed by a student (Chris Tyler ‘10), and completely student-created, with only budget, space, and mentoring from staff and faculty.
A beautifully brainy valentine to the transformative potential of music, Jordan Harrison MFA 03’s Doris to Darlene is a soulfully crafted trio of love stories that follows the transpositions of one timeless song across the ages. In the candy-colored 1960s, biracial schoolgirl Doris is molded into pop star Darlene by a whiz-kid record producer who culls a top-ten hit out of Richard Wagner’s “Liebestod.”
Tickets are $7 for students, $12 for staff/faculty/seniors, and $17 for everybody else, and are available at 401.863.2838 or brown.edu/tickets.
Four shows at 8pm Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 2pm, Leeds Theatre, Waterman Street
