Ryder Smith will be featured in the cast of its upcoming production of OSLO, a new play by J.T. Rogers, directed by Bartlett Sher.

Additional casting will be announced at a later date. It’s 1993. The world watches the impossible: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian Liberation Organization Chairman Yasser Arafat, standing together in the White House Rose Garden, signing the first ever peace agreement between Israel and the PLO. How were the negotiations kept secret? Why were they held in a castle in the middle of Norway? And who are these mysterious negotiators? A darkly comic epic, OSLO tells the true, but until now, untold story of how one young couple, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul (to be played by Jennifer Ehle) and her husband social scientist Terje Rød-Larsen (to be played by Jefferson Mays), planned and orchestrated top-secret, high-level meetings between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which culminated in the signing of the historic 1993 Oslo Accords.

Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater announces the full company for Pulitzer Prize winner Paula Vogel’s thought-provoking play Indecent. Inspired by the 1923 Broadway debut of Sholem Asch’s Yiddish drama The God of Vengeance, and the controversy that surrounded its themes of censorship, immigration and anti-Semitism, Vogel explores the behind-the-scenes story of the courageous artists who risked their careers and lives to perform this piece of theater under the most challenging circumstances. Infused with music that combines standards from Yiddish theater with folk traditions of the early to mid-20th century, Indecent, a co-production with Baltimore Center Stage and Kansas City Repertory, is directed by Eric Rosen, with choreography by Erika Chong Shuch and music direction and original music by Alexander Sovronsky. The production runs November 23 – December 30, 2018 in the Kreeger Theater. Making his Arena Stage debut, Ben Cherry (Broadway’s Indecent and Fiddler on the Roof) portrays the stage manager Lemml, the role he held in The Guthrie production as well. Returning to Arena are Susan Lynskey (Roe, Noises Off) as The Middle: Halina/Ensemble and Susan Rome (The Great Society, All the Way) as The Elder: Vera/Ensemble.

WAR HORSE Adapted by Nick Stafford
By Michael Morpurgo, GCSEWAR HORSE Adapted By Nick Stafford WAR HORSE MICHAEL MORPURGO ADAPTED BY NICK STAFFORD GCSE DRAMA \\ © WJEC CBAC Ltd 2016 By Michael Morpurgo, WAR HORSE Adapted By Nick Stafford INTRODUCTION War Horse is a stage adaptation of the 1982 novel by Michael Morpurgo. The novel is based on stories an elderly gentleman from Morpurgo’s home village had shared with him of his experience looking after the horses during the First World War. It is these stories, along with a picture given to him by his uncle, of horses pulling guns and getting caught up in barbed wire that inspired Morpurgo to write War Horse. He writes about the suffering of war through the eyes of a horse, Joey, and his owner, a young boy named Alfred. The stage adaptation follows Joey through his life, starting at the auction through to his return home to the Narracott’s farm after his time in the trenches of France. The stage adaptation by Nick Stafford was first performed in October 2007 at the Olivier auditorium in National Theatre London in association with the Handspring Puppet Company, as the main characters of the play are indeed puppets. With its amazing puppetry, loving characters and beautiful songs, it’s not a surprise that the production is still as popular today as it was at its opening. PLOT The play begins on the 5th of August 1912 with foal, Joey and his mother Alice, in the countryside of Devon. Characters then appear on stage with fences and create an auction around them.
