Theatre West’s summer
production is “Kindly Leave the Stage”, a comedy by John Chapman. The
director is Stina Seeger-Gibson. Stina is Artistic Director at Theatre West.
She has been acting and directing at Theatre West for 14 years. The cast has
been selected and rehearsals are ongoing. The play is scheduled to run from
July 10 through August 30, 2008 every Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8:00
P.M with doors opening at 7:30 P.M.
The story: The marriage of Rupert and Sarah is on the rocks and their
friends Charles and Madge, both of whom are lawyers, agree to handle the
divorce. After the curtain has been up a few minutes, Rupert forgets his
lines, has a brain storm and threatens to kill Charles in full view of the
audience because he's been having an affair off stage, with Rupert's real
wife, Madge. Quite true as it happens. The rest of the cast try to ignore
the incident and forge ahead with the original play but Rupert picks up a
knife and advances on Charles, who is forced to take cover in a large cabin
trunk which is on the set at the time. A real life marital comedy now
evolves. The situation is further complicated when the actor playing the old
father, Edward, makes his entrance. He is an ageing Shakespearean star, once
famous for his King Lear but now an alcoholic on the skids. He happens to
have asked his new agent to the performance that night. Edward is blissfully
unaware that the play has switched from art to life. Out of loyalty to a
fellow actor, the rest of the cast do their best to accommodate the poor
chap, but he gradually begins to crack up, especially as some of his cues
are coming from a cabin trunk. The play is a light hearted tilt at the
complete theatricality of stage folk.
Cast in the play are Randy Butts as Charles, Sara Froom as Angela, Theresa
Loterbauer as Nurse, Kat Schubothe as Sarah, Lisa Austin as Madge, Mary Bea
Sakraida as Mrs. Cullen, Drew Froom as Rupert and Don Bambrough as Edward.
Marj Nylund is the assistant director. Shelby Barton and Ashlee Casper are
the stage crew.
