A Noise Within (ANW), the acclaimed classical repertory theatre company, continues its inaugural season in its new state-of-the-art Pasadena venue with the announcement of its series of “FRIDAY NIGHT CONVERSATIONS,” “FAMILY PACKAGE” matinees, and ASL-INTERPRETED PERFORMANCES, as well as the option of valet parking at the theatre for all performances.
“FRIDAY NIGHT CONVERSATIONS,” free with admission on selected dates, offers audiences the opportunity to continue their journey with each play after the final bow with an informal dialogue in the form of music, dance, lecture or discussion with the director and cast. Following the Friday, December 9 performance of Twelfth Night, Or What You Will, by William Shakespeare, set in Cuba, audiences learn how to Salsa dance with the cast on A Noise Within’s new stage. After the Friday, December 16 performance, cast members and Twelfth Night director Julia Rodriguez-Elliott, ANW co-founder/co-artistic director, engage in discussion with the audience. On Friday, December 2, after Desire Under the Elms by Eugene O’Neill, international concert violinist Endre Balogh discusses how his original music for the play serves a role similar to that of a Greek chorus.
New to A Noise Within this year are a series of ASL PERFORMANCES, generously provided by Ellingsen Family Fund. ASL Performance dates for the company’s 2011-12 season are Friday, December 2, 8 pm, for Desire Under the Elms; Thursday, December 15, 8 pm, for Twelfth Night, or What You Will; Saturday, January 7, 2 pm, for Noises Off; Friday, April 13, 8 pm, for Antony and Cleopatra; Sunday, April 22, 7 pm, for The Bungler; and Sunday, May 6, 7 pm, for The Illusion.
A Noise Within recently introduced VALET PARKING, available via the driveway entrance on eastbound Foothill Boulevard just east of Sierra Madre Villa. Free parking remains available at the Sierra Madre Villa Metro Station.
A Noise Within (ANW) is the only year-round classical repertory company in Southern California and one of only a handful in the entire country dedicated solely to producing classical dramatic literature in the repertory tradition of rotating productions with a resident company of professional artists.
