Commonweal Apprentices featured in Private Eyes

Private Eyes
by Steven Dietz
Commonweal Theatre Apprentice Class

The Commonweal’s first apprentice class culminates their 10 months of study at the Commonweal with a full production of Steven Dietz’s Private Eyes. The apprenticeship program is designed for advanced college and post graduate students seeking more experience in the areas of acting, directing, and theater administration. Apprentices have played important roles on stage and behind the scenes during the 2008 season productions including memorable performances in A Christmas Carol, Ice Maidens, Harvey, and Man of La Mancha. The Commonweal audience has had ample opportunity to come to know and enjoy these talented young artists.

This play only runs this weekend, and the Commonweal strongly suggests reserving tickets.

Here is the commonweal’s play synopsis:

Deceit and intrigue simmer just below the surface in this dark comedy in which five individuals discover what it means to lie to everyone around them, including themselves. Featuring Apprentice Company members Mike Davidovich, David Harmann, Sarah Kathryn Hawkins, Brad Kastendick, and Kimberly Maas.

Private Eyes runs March 12 - March 15

Coming in April at the Commonweal:
2009 Ibsen Festival, April 17 - 19.
Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler, April 16 - June 12
