Ghostlight Forum - San Jose Rep's Insight Night

 

When there is no performance, we say the theatre is "dark." It is tradition to put a single light bulb on a tall stand in the middle of the stage to "keep the ghosts away," and to prevent a lost actor from falling into the orchestra pit. From conception to casting, the Rep’s free Ghostlight Forums offer a rare glimpse into the building of a Rep production.

Join Artistic Director Rick Lombardo and other Rep artists onstage with community leaders and experts in the fields of issues related to the plays.

These lively and thought-provoking discussions are always entertaining, often full of surprises and FREE! Call the Box Office at 408.367.7255 or email boxoffice@sjrep.com to RSVP.

Black Pearl Sings! Ghostlight Forum
Monday August 30, 2010 at 7:00 p.m

Join us for our Ghostlight Forum – San Jose Rep’s Insight Night, as we kick off San Jose Repertory Theatre’s 30th Anniversary Season with a riveting discussion about Black Pearl Sings!, a moving and melodic drama that examines the human voice’s ability to connect us to one another, and to our own personal histories, across hundreds of years and thousands of miles.  Panelists will include U.C. Berkeley ethnomusicologist Tamara Roberts, playwright Frank Higgins, cast members Jannie Jones and Jessica Wortham, and director Rick Lombardo who will tie together content and context with his artistic vision.   You won’t want to miss this powerful prelude to the production!
