The Lear Project, an adaptation of Shakespeare's King Lear
Actors Shakespeare Company at New Jersey City University, a professional theatre company in residence at the University, will present "The Lear Project," an adaptation of William Shakespeare's "King Lear" that will be directed by Jessica Perez, a senior at McNair Academic High School, Friday, April 8 through Sunday, April 10. Performances will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday and at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, in NJCU's West Side Theatre, 285 West Side Avenue in Jersey City. Admission is free and open to the community. "The Lear Project" marks the first time in ASC at NJCU's 11-year history that a production has been directed by a high school student. Ms. Perez will be mentored by Colette Rice, ASC at NJCU producing artistic director, and other ASC at NJCU members. Although ASC at NJCU is known for its outstanding workshops and educational programs throughout , this will be the first time thatthe Company will teach a student how to direct Shakespeare. Inspired by the late award-winning teacher Sara Solberg, who introduced her to "King Lear" as a sophomore at McNair, Ms. Perez wrote a letter to ASC at NJCU. In her letter she explained the origin of her passion and expressed her dream of directing the play. "When Jessica wrote to me and asked for help in realizing her dream – to direct ‘King Lear'– I knew that ASC at NJCU could help her. This is a ‘made for our mission' opportunity for the Company to help a bright, enthusiastic young person explore the wealth of experiences that the play and work in the theatre have to offer," said Ms. Rice. "Jessica has strong ideas, and has already done a great deal of editing work, and is determined to complete her project before she graduates and goes to college." Like with its main stage productions, ASC at NJCU will invite local schools to a matinee presentation of "The Lear Project." Students can attend on Thursday, April 7, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. Schools should call551-200-2931for more information and to make reservations. Donations for the theatre company are accepted at all performances. ...read more
