Pegasus is saying goodbye to Vermont, where Dr. Cook has joined his 30 patients/victims in the cemetery on the hill, and they’re entering David Ives’ world of his 6 short plays in All in the Timing. Because that world doesn’t really have a geographical location and is set mainly in your head (“intellectual slapstick” and “brain teasers,” as one enthusiastic critic put it), we’ll be doing black box theater. Please join Pegasus at the theater on Saturday, February 22, noon to 5 PM at a work party where they’ll be:
If you can come, please let them know so they have a headcount for lunch. Contact Frances Werner at franceswerner (at) sonic.net.
Dr. Cook’s Garden is a tautly written, tightly crafted play by a master of suspense who also wrote Rosemary’s Baby, the Stepford Wives, Deathtrap, and other edgy plays and novels.
Auditions are starting for All in the Timing by David Ives, a compilation of 6 fantastically written, short one-act comedies, each one a challenge for actors. They hope to cast ensemble style, with actors playing roles in multiple short plays. All in the Timing will run for 4 weekends, March 21 through April 13, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 PM and Sundays at 2 PM, at Pegasus Theater Company at the Rio Nido Lodge. The read through is scheduled for February 1, time and place TBA. Dates of Auditions: Preparing for Audition: Scheduling Auditions: P.S. They’re are also on the look-out for some kickass designers, so if you see/know/are one, let them know by email also! For the past 8 years Pegasus Theater Company has produced top-quality, original short plays. If you’re a Northern California playwright with an original, unpublished, 10-minute play, Pegasus Theater would love to read it. Submit your script in a Word document or an Adobe pdf file to beulahvega (at) yahoo.com. All submissions must be received by 11:45 PM on February 1, 2014.
Eight plays will be selected for performance at Tapas: The 8th Annual Tapas Short Play Festival which runs from May 16 – June 8, 2014. Please direct all questions to Beulah Vega, Artistic Director at Pegasus Theater beulahvega (at) yahoo.com.

Pegasus Theater is heading to the East Coast, where it snows for the holidays, the setting of Sleeping Indoors, written by Jim Holt and directed by John Rowan. Please join the work party on Sunday, November 10 from noon to 5pm. No, that’s not a typo—it’s on Sunday, not the traditional Saturday, for just this work party. They’ll be painting the flats and doing other tasks. Please let John Rowan know if you can come at johnrowan14365 (at) gmail.com. The hotel rooms and the Moon River Marketplace at the historic Rio Nido Lodge have been renovated and are now open for business. So, the front of the main parking lot is reserved for Lodge guests. Look for signs directing you to the Pegasus parking areas. |
