    March 21, 2011 CLOTH AND WOOD COME TO LIFE WHEN THE ANNENBERG CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS PRESENTS THE PHILADELPHIA PREMIERE OF BASIL TWIST’S PETRUSHKA April 6—16, 2011 "Brilliantly imagined, wonderfully expressive, and breathtakingly realized" New York Magazine (Philadelphia, March 21, 2011) — Cloth and wood come to life when the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts presents the Philadelphia premiere of Petrushka, conceived, designed and directed by Basil Twist, April 6-16, 2011. A tour-de-force of music, movement, design and storytelling, Petrushka is a puppet- theatre version of the legendary 1911 Ballets Russes production Petrouchka, the story of a tragic love triangle between three magical creatures; the lovesick clown Petrushka, the alluring Ballerina and the dashing Moor, whose stories emerge amidst the swirl of the Russian carnival. For tickets or for more information, please visit AnnenbergCenter.org or call 215.898.3900. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Annenberg Center Box Office. The program begins with an abstract fantasia of puppetry set to Stravinsky's Sonata for Two Pianos, performed by Russian identical twin pianists Julia and Irina Elkina. After a brief pause, the trio of puppets takes the stage and the Elkina Sisters perform their own special two-piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s score based on the composer’s four-hand version of the piece. Nine hidden puppeteers dressed and hooded in black – Lindsay Abromaitis-Smith, Kate Brehm, Jenni Campbell, Kristen Kammermeyer, Keri Lewis, Jonothon Lyons, Marc Petrosino, Lake Simons and Christopher Williams – employ the puppetry technique Japanese Bunraku to bring the four feet tall puppets to life.

  • Introducing New Surflight Theatre
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Surflight Theatre Press Director Charlie Siedenburg, 551-655-0968 BROADWAY PRODUCER ROY MILLER NAMED SURFLIGHT THEATRE PRODUCER Broadway producer (and Surflight alum) joins notable New Jersey summer destination – Surflight Theatre during exciting transitional period. BEACH HAVEN, NJ, Tuesday, September 21, 2010 — Surflight Theatre Board President Gene Hammond announced today that Broadway producer (and Surflight alum) Roy Miller has been appointed to the leadership position of Producer at Surflight Theatre. A New Jersey native, Miller’s Broadway producing credits include the current revival of West Side Story (Tony nomination for Best Musical Revival and Grammy Award Winner for Best Musical Show Album), The Drowsy Chaperone (winner of five 2006 Tony Awards; Drama Desk and NY Drama Critics’ Circle Awards for Best Musical), and The Pee-wee Herman Show (opening October 26). Before crossing the river to New York, Miller was Associate Producer of the acclaimed Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ, from 1991 to 2004 where he produced over eighty musicals and plays including Animal Crackers starring Kristin Chenoweth, Follies starring Ann Miller, Gypsy starring Betty Buckley and Deborah Gibson, and Stephen Schwartz’s new musical Children of Eden . Miller may be new to the leadership of Surflight, but he is no stranger to the Beach Haven theatre's 450- seat venue. While performing in a high school production of Funny Girl in his hometown of Irvington, NJ, Miller was offered an apprenticeship at Surflight by the show’s director and Surflight founder Joseph P. Hayes. That first introduction to summer theatre at the Jersey Shore in 1975 was followed by two subsequent seasons as an apprentice and, eventually, as a member of the acting company in 1978.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.
