Students from the Advanced Drama course attended a special matinee presentation of Bertolt Brecht’s The Caucasian Chalk Circle at ACT on Thursday, March 11th. The production featured ACT’s resident theatre company and several of its conservatory’s MFA candidates performing together in a brilliantlly staged contemporary rendering of the classic play. Directed by John Doyle, the production managed to utilize many of Brecht’s trademark theatrical components to strong effect. In order to prepare for the production students staged their own version of the play’s compelling final scene. Comparing their version with ACT’s proved to be a real highlight. Students were also treated to a Q and A with all of the production’s actors after the show.
