"I used to think that state aid to the theatre was the
solution. There should be state aid, of course, but I've grown
frightened of people who hold the money.
Bureaucrats are dangerous in any art, in any land. It
would be fine if government would put in the money and then go mind its
business. But it won't."
-Lillian Hellman
1962

COOL SET!
Videographer Brian Milbrand stands amidst the newly
laid out theatre set up for 84 -- complete with two-tiered
scaffolding on stage, a checker board-patterned floor, and risers for
the audience -- without a doubt one of the most creative uses of the
space we've tried to date! |

THE STRONGEST LINK
Justifiably pleased with the mis-en-scene she hath wrought, Subversive
Theatre's co-Resident Set Designer Dyan O'Connell* surveys the set-up
for 84 -- what she's doing with the chains, nobody knows!

LOOSE AMONGST THE CAST!
Director Brian Zybala (furthest right) boldly
ventures amidst the cast . . . and lives to tell the tale.
Actors from left to right:
Natalie Mack, Jenna Winnett, Mary Boatman, Michael O'Hear (with back
to camera), David Butterfield, Tom Scahill*, and Rebecca Ward. |

FACE OFF
But the fun really gets underway as actors Tamara S.
Hopersberger* (left) and Rebecca Ward (right) practice strapping live
rats to cast mate Andrew Kottler's (seated) face for the play's oh-so
disturbing climax.

BOSOM BUDDIES
Fear not, off set they're actually the best of
friends! Andrew Kottler spends some time getting to know his new
scene partner -- turns out they have the same agent. |

LET THERE BE LIGHT!

COSTUME CONFIDANTES
Costume Designer Bryan Patrick Stoyle (right) shares
a Pepsi with cast member Michael O'Hear, admires the poster for the
show, and plots his road to world domination . . . one costume at a
time! |
