Imagine going to the theater to see one of your favorite performances only to wind up on stage in a starring role.
That’s just what will happen to some lucky audience members as Rockefeller Arts Center at the State University of New York at Fredonia presents “Beauty and the Beast” on Friday, March 13 at 7 p.m. in Marvel Theatre.
A production of DuffleBag Theatre, this will be a special, interactive version of the fairytale classic.
The DuffleBag actors will begin the performance with the retelling of “Beauty and the Beast.” Just when the audience becomes enthralled by the story, a twist will be created ─ the narrator will invite an unsuspecting audience member on stage to play one of the main parts. He or she will be given a costume, props and guidance from the narrator during the performance.
Since 1992, the “Nearly World Famous” DuffleBag Theatre has become one of the most celebrated companies in North America, thanks to its interactive storytelling productions.
Improvisation is the key to DuffleBag Theatre, because whatever the audience cast members do is incorporated into the show. Since the whole audience participates during the show in some way, the results are captivating and hilarious. With DuffleBag Theatre, adults enjoy the performances just as much as the kids.
DuffleBag Theatre performs more than 450 shows a year at theatres, festivals, events and schools across Canada and internationally in the United States, Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei ─ where DuffleBag Theatre gave a command performance for His Royal Highness the Prince of Brunei.
This is a Kaleidoscope Family Series event. The series is sponsored by Howard Hanna Holt Real Estate and the event sponsors are Mark and Michelle Twichell. It is part of the Lake Shore Savings Season.
