The second show in New Hazlett Theater's Community Supported Art series is Agnus Teaches Acting. Co-creators Treasure Treasure and Lucas Fedele chat with Emily Brunner about the show.
Treasure and Lucas talk about writing Agnus with Zanny Laird, drawing from each of their own experiences in the theater world. The play follows Agnus Stephenson, an overbearing and unapologetic acting teacher. The trio wrote the play as a comedic take on acting school and bold character study. Treasure, who stars as Agnus, calls it an "acting workshop within a play within a musical fever dream."
They also discuss bringing this play to the New Hazlett through the CSA series and the advantages of performing in an intimate space. Lucas, who directs the play, praises the collaborative nature of the character and the cast and crew who helped bring Agnus to life.
Agnus Teaches Acting runs at the New Hazlett Theater February 5th-6th. Thursday's performance is at 7:30pm, and Friday's performances are at 10:00am and 7:30pm. More information and tickets can be found on the New Hazlett Theater website.
