Dear Austin-area educators and members of the deaf community:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trouble Puppet Theater Company is excited to present Toil and Trouble,
\nour original adaptation of Macbeth, and we want to let you know that we
\nwelcome groups, especially student groups, and that we can offer
\nASL-interpreted performances to our deaf community.<\/p>\n

The play will be cut down somewhat, to under two hours, but will retain
\nShakespeare’s language on the whole. It will also rely on a brief frame
\nstory original to Artistic Director Connor Hopkins (winner of B. Iden
\nPayne Awards for Outstanding Direction of a Drama for The Jungle AND
\nfor Frankenstein as well as Outstanding Original Script for The Jungle
\nand The Austin Examiner’s Best New Play Written by an Austinite for The
\nJungle).<\/p>\n

It will make a very effective, accessible introduction to Macbeth for
\nstudents who have not seen the play and will provide an interesting and
\noriginal take for those already familiar with the story.<\/p>\n

Dates: Oct. 31-Nov. 18, 2012. 8pm Weds-Sat and 6pm Sundays.<\/p>\n

Ticket prices for educators and students are very affordable: $10 for
\nshows on Weds., Thurs., or Sun., and $15 for shows on Fri. or Sat.
\n(Halloween excluded; admission on 10\/31 is $25 and includes admission
\nto our costume party, primarily for grownups). Very large groups (over
\n20) are eligible for further discounts ($8-$12 tickets). Faculty who
\nbring groups of 5 or more receive complimentary admission. Educators
\ncan purchase the tickets themselves or give students a password they
\ncan use to buy their own tickets.<\/p>\n

Director\/cast talkbacks\/Q&A for groups of five or more are available
\n(by request) on these dates: 11\/1, 11\/4, 11\/7, 11\/11, 11\/14, 11\/15.<\/p>\n

We will also offer ASL interpretation for one or more performances;
\nplease let me know if you are interested in arranging an
\nASL-interpreted performance at no added charge.<\/p>\n

For more information, please see the pasted-in press release, below.<\/p>\n

Best,
\nKathryn Rogers<\/p>\n

Trouble Puppet Theater Company is dedicated to the creation of
\nexceptional works of puppet theater, to the promotion of the art of
\npuppetry, and to the support of its practitioners. We dig as deeply as
\nwe can into the possibilities that puppetry offers, in its many forms
\nand styles, and seek to balance risk and exploration with a drive for
\nexcellent craft and technique. Our work is inspired not only by our
\nartistic passion but by our social, political, and human convictions:
\nthat there can be no end to the struggle for knowledge and compassion,
\nagainst injustice and intolerance. Trouble Puppet is a sponsored
\nproject of Salvage Vanguard Theater and is supported by The Jim Henson
\nFoundation, the City of Austin, and individual donors. Toil and Trouble
\nis underwritten by Joel and Dina Sherzer and James and Sharon Reck and
\nis mounted with the generous support of The Creative Fund.<\/p>\n

Salvage Vanguard Theater is a hub for Austin artists, audiences, and
\narts organizations. SVT creates and presents transformative,
\nhigh-quality artistic experiences that foster experimentation and
\nconversation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
