“Our current offerings are the 2012 production of ‘The Importance of Being Earnest,’ directed by the late Dale Pawley; the 2018 production of ‘The Rivals,’ directed by Monte H. Wright; and ‘Shakespeare from Home,’ directed by Joshua Taulbee,” said Black Box co-owner Ceil Herman.
The review by Jerry Kane and photos from “The Importance of Being Earnest,” as well as Mike Cook’s review of “The Rivals,” are located in the Previous Seasons section of No Strings Theatre Company’s website (www.no-strings.org/previousSeasons.php).
“Shakespeare from Home” is a collection of Shakespearean monologues and sonnets performed by local actors. This exclusively online presentation stars Ed Montes, Nancy Clein Tafoya, Scott Brocato, Karen Buerdsel, Jason Wyatt, Autumn Gieb, Genno Tafoya, Cassandra Galban, Jeff Peckham, Gina DeMondo and Joseluis Solorzano.
The video was edited by Luz Resendez. The production was inspired by the success of NSTC’s production of “Asking Strangers about the Meaning of Life,” by William Missouri Downs, “which demonstrated that online theatrical productions were possible and that audiences were interested in more,” Herman said.
“We learned that online theatrical presentations were possible and that our audience were interested in more,” Taulbee said. "’Shakespeare from Home’ gave local performers a chance to stretch their acting legs by submitting a Shakespearean monologue from the comfort of their own homes. I am blown away by the thought the performers put into their pieces. They all did a fantastic job.”
The next video to be posted will be a compilation of pieces presented at Black Box Theatre by The Dance Eclectic. The company would have performed in the theatre in July.
