ANNOUNCEMENT

Nick
Garcia regrets that he will not be able to direct for PSC this summer due to a
family difficulty. His fiancee was injured and he needs to be in San Francisco
to care for her.
Nick asked me to share with you that he is deeply
disappointed by this turn of events, and looks forward to joining us again in
the future.
|
Meanwhile, Dr. Mary Jo Sodd has graciously agreed to
step up to the plate ….. If you haven't worked with Soddie on a
Shakespeare in the park—you are in for a real treat. And while we are
truly sad to lose Nick this summer — we are delighted to have coaxed Sodd
back into the ring.
If you weren't able to make the scheduled
auditionsemail Dr. Sodd at soddm@central.edu no later than May 9,
2009. She may be able to arrange a private audition. |

PSC News
Our Mission
PSC is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, now
in our fifth year of FREE performances. The Pella Shakespeare Company exists to
bring fresh, fun, simple and well-spoken theatre to the public of Pella and its
surrounding communities. Our goal is to educate as we entertain
multi-generational audiences. We believe that exposure to literature and art
enhances the quality of life within our community and engages everyone in a
larger world view. Utilizing classical and important works, community and
student actors, quality production values and unusual performance spaces within
the park system, PSC Adult & Youth Troupes perform for more than 1400
audience members each year.
PSC grew out of a class project at Central
College and generates cooperation between the local community theatres, local
colleges, the Community Center, Parks and Recreation, the Corps of Engineers,
DNR, the Pella Chamber of Commerce, and now Des Moines’ Theatre..For a
Change.

SOME HISTORY
A Midsummer Night's Dream...for kids and
by kids ....
Fairies slipped down slides, royalty rode invisible horses,
peace signs and tie dye abounded and a good time was had by all.
Attended by over 1200 people, the
2005 Pella Shakespeare Festival offered free performances by the adult troupe
of “The Comedy of Errors”, and by the kid’s troupe of “A
Midsummer Night’s Dream.”
All performances of the plays were
held outdoors in the local parks (including 2 locations in West Market Park,
Central Park and the Howell Station Campground) between June 18 and June
21-June 25, 2005.
Conversations on the Lawn, as
sponsored by an Iowa Arts Council mini-grant, were held prior to 5 evening
performances. The talks were held to enhance audience appreciation and
understanding of Shakespeare by offering illuminating historical information.
In the weeks preceding the production, several of the speakers also gave talks
at “Brown Bag Lunches” at the Pella Public Library. |
