50 years of The Warehouse Theatre
Sep 18 @ 7:00 pm
The Warehouse Theatre

As part of our celebration of 50 years of The Warehouse Theatre we are spotlighting productions from our past and giving audiences another chance at seeing these seminal works. These are one night only fundraisers that will capture the spirit of putting up a show incredibly quickly. Each reading will feature the talented actors you’ve come to know and love reading from the script itself. For the anniversary we want to feature both the power of hearing a script out loud combined with the natural power and talent of our acting pool. You won’t want to miss these once in 50 years celebrations!

The first reading will be William Inge’s PICNIC, which was the last show produced in the original Warehouse Theatre location at Greenville Memorial Auditorium in the 1995-1996 season.

Winner of the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, PICNIC takes place on Labor Day weekend in the joint backyards of two widows. One house belongs to Flo Owens, who lives there with her two daughters and a schoolteacher boarder. The other house belongs to Helen Potts, who lives with her elderly mother. Into this female atmosphere comes a charming and energetic young man named Hal Carter, whose arrival throws the community asunder when he has a connection with one of the women who yearns for a more exciting life.

Tickets for these readings can be purchased online and are I-Pay-What-I-Can with a suggested donation of $15 per ticket.

Tri-ART: Call of the Wild
Sep 19 @ 9:30 am
Brocks Center for Performing Arts

Jack London’s classic tale comes to life on stage. This multi-media adventure mixes performance and storytelling with projected illustrations to tell the story of Buck, the magnificent offspring of a St. Bernard and Scottish Collie.

Kidnapped from his lavish life on a California estate and sent to work as a sled dog during the great Klondike Gold Rush of the 1800s, Buck becomes the most famous dog in the northland’s history and discovers the endurance and strength of his wild, primal ancestors as their call courses through his blood. A thrilling tale of courage and survival.

The production uses 180-degree projection that surrounds the performer and provides scenic, artistic, and historical context to the show through their content. The images feature a unique mix of Philip R. Goodwin’s classical illustrations from the book’s first edition, period photographs, and brand-new drawings and animations created by artist Michael Rae.
