As part of Jesuit Drama’s “Beyond the Black Box”
outreach and service program, the cast and crew of our fall play,
Theophilus North, recently visited the Whitney Oaks Care
Center in Carmichael and read to residents.
Alan Menken and Howard Ashman’s popular chamber musical “Little
Shop of Horrors” has always thrived on cheeky simplicity. The
story of a Faustian bond between an otherworldly plant that feeds
on human blood and the unassuming florist shop worker who
nurtures it provides comic guilty pleasure. The new, easygoing
Sacramento Theatre Company production serves up this theatrical
dessert with neither surprise nor disappointment.
Jesuit Drama’s fall play Imago Dei: Journeys of
Courage, Hope & Home is now being offered
nationwide by the Jesuit Refugee Service USA. Pictures of
our students along with video excerpts of their work is on the
JRS/USA
webpage.
Shaina Aber has long wanted to share hundreds of compelling
accounts of refugees and other people forcibly displaced from
their homes around the globe.
As associate director for advocacy at Jesuit Refugee Service/USA,
Aber wanted to let the world see inside the organization’s 30
years of service.
Through a series of serendipitous conversations and a couple of
phone calls, Aber found a willing collaborator in Jesuit High
School theater director Ed Trafton.
(Washington, D.C.) October 31, 2011 — This Thursday Nov. 3,
Jesuit High School of Sacramento premiers Imago Dei: Journeys of
Courage, Hope & Home, about experiences of refugees and the
forcibly displaced and based on Jesuit Refugee Service’s 30 years
of accompaniment, service and advocacy on behalf of
refugees
“Rehearsals are going great,” said Ed Trafton, director of the
JHS Drama Department. “We just finished ‘Draft Three’ of the
script; the set’s done; costumes are on their way; actors are
hard at work memorizing lines and blocking. We’re so excited to
start!”
Jesuit Drama has been invited by the Jesuit Refugee Services/USA,
headquartered in Washington D.C., to create a play about
contemporary refugee issues. Jesuit Drama was asked to do this
because of the program’s history of creating documentary theater
pieces such as Tower Stories and Achilles in America.
The commissioned work will open Thursday, November 3, 2011, and
will play for two weeks before going off and having life beyond
the Black Box Theater.
