POSTPONED March 12-14, 2020 at Interlochen Center for the Arts
Parallel 45 Theatre and Interlochen Center for the Arts embark on an official partnership this spring, bringing two artistic powerhouses together to provide cutting-edge theatre to northwest Michigan. This partnership carves out a full-time, dedicated residency for professional directors and theatre-makers to create new material for Parallel 45 utilizing Interlochen’s extraordinarily talented theatre students. In the spring of 2020, P45 artist, Shelby Lewis (A Christmas Carol in Prose, Alice in Wonderland, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare Abridged), will devise a new production based on L.M. Montgomery's "Anne of Green Gables". In this production, devised by students at Interlochen Center for the Arts, the classic novel of Anne of Green Gables will be transformed into an abstract exploration of the beloved story and its iconic characters for a contemporary audience.
Reading Series Committee: Sarah Bielman, Nicholas Viox, Shelby Lewis, Kit McKay, Brett Nichols, Kristina Nichols, Erin Anderson Whiting
POSTPONED February - May, 2020
Every year, Parallel 45 Theatre and Crooked Tree Arts Center invite audiences to a series of free play readings featuring daring playwrights produced around the country and the world. In holding a series of free readings for the greater theatre-loving public, we hope to include multiple voices in important, on-going conversations around race, religion, gender-identity and more. Each reading concludes with a panel featuring artists and community members.
