For Storyhouse 8 - 30 August 2020 Welcome... The Comedy of Errors is one of only a tiny handful of live theatre performances you can see in the UK this summer. Conception to first night has taken us just two weeks. We did it because we know you love this wonderful space. But we also care deeply about the future of those working in our industry – the actors, stage managers, designers and technicians for whom, without shows, there can be no livelihood. We don’t want the UK’s theatres to stay closed, we think that, where possible, we should open to serve our communities and save jobs. You can read about how to help us both save and secure Storyhouse and Grosvenor Park for generations to come at storyhouse.com, in the meantime enjoy this stripped back and secure slice of summer. Storyhouse is open, come and visit us! Thank you so much for playing such a key part in our future.

  • Michael Warren Powellis
    WELCOME to the Fifteenth Annual Last Frontier Theatre Conference. We at Prince William Sound Community College are very proud of this event, and hopefully by the end of the week you will see why. I started coming to Valdez (for the Conference) in 1995, its third year, and it became an annual pilgrimage for me. I quit jobs to make it here. I ran up credit cards. I did whatever it took for me to get to spend the week here. I crashed on the floor at the college, survived off the food at receptions, and worked on whatever anyone asked me to. No one was more important to me in those early years than Michael Warren Powell, the first coordinator of the Play Lab. I remember being in awe of how insightful the responding panel was critiquing plays that were all (in my opinion) pretty problematic. Michael and the other panelists became my idols. Which made it all the more important to me when one day I was hanging out with friends at the picnic tables in the middle of the park strip and we saw Michael walking our direction. He came up and engaged us in conversation, and we became friends. He let us know that he considered us his peers. In the late 90s, I decided that, of all the people I had met, there was no one whose life I wanted to emulate more than Michael’s. I made producing new work and nurturing playwrights my focus, and the answer to most of my questions can be found in the answer to the question “What would Michael do?” I am very excited to have him back with us this year.

Featuring a fresh cast of new discoveries, this Sundance Film Festival hit marks the feature film debut of the electric Rutina Wesley, with street-style step sequences by top choreographer Hi-Hat and special appearances by R&B singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole and comedian DeRay Davis. Bursting with raw talent and intelligence, Raya Green (Wesley), the daughter of Jamaican immigrants, has always been the family’s one great hope. She won the rare chance to break out of their drug and crime-infested neighborhood when she was accepted into the exclusive Seaton Academy. But when her sister dies of an overdose, the family is shattered and Raya is forced to return to the place she tried so hard to escape. It’s not easy to go back, especially when one-time friends, including the tough minded Michelle (Tré Armstrong), see Raya as a stuck-up traitor who left the community behind.
