Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve months, thirteen productions, over 150 performers: this was Arkansas Rep Theatre's Thirtieth Anniversary season. How do you celebrate thirty years as the state's only non-profit professional theatre company? This book answers that question. The Rep's mission, to create a diverse body of work that entertains, engages and enriches a community is beautifully brought to life in these pages. To capture the perfect moment that illuminates the nuance of character, photographer David Knight spent countless hours in the darkened theatre photographing the performers during final dress rehearsals. Each chapter presents a different production from the theatre's thirtieth season. From the classics of dramatic literature (Much Ado About Nothing, Of Mice and Men) to works from the region (Steel Magnolias, Towns Facing Railroads) to newer works for the stage (Intimate Apparel, Crowns, The Retreat from Moscow, Bad Dates, Tuesdays with Morrie) to work with young artists (Godspell) to the always popular musicals (Beauty and the Beast, Ain't Misbehavin', A Chorus Line) the stories that unfold in these pages commemorate a milestone year.
