Theatrikos Theatre Co. March Newsletter — Picasso at the Lapin Agile

“I love that this play was written by the great Steve Martin and the connection and flow between the characters is brilliant.”

Leslie Jones, cast member

Theatrikos Theatre Company is thrilled to announce a partnership with the National Theatre of London. We will be screening performances filmed in front of a live audience. Our next presentation is The Motive and the Cue. Sam Mendes (American Beauty) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play.

1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.

Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre.

Beer and wine will be served at both shows.

March 8 at 2 and 7 pm.

A play within a play, The Play That Goes Wrong follows the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society’s disastrous production of a 1920s murder mystery, The Murder at Haversham Manor.

As the performance unfolds, everything that can go wrong does—doors stick, props fail and lines are forgotten—creating a hilarious comedy of errors that’s sure to keep audiences laughing.

Director Jan Rominger shared, “I am so excited to direct this play for Theatrikos and our Flagstaff audience. It is the funniest play that I’ve ever seen and can’t wait for our audience to enjoy this absurd farce.”

Performances run May 9 – June 1.

We are casting a diverse and dynamic group of performers for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. This beloved Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice classic tells the biblical story of Joseph and his journey from betrayal to triumph—all set to a dazzling mix of musical styles.

All roles are open to performers of all backgrounds and experience levels.
