Congratulation it Shawn Bean for winning WCT's Hambone for Man of La Mancha. The Hambone is given for the cast member for, in the opinion of the crew and non-cast board members, outstanding contribution to a production. The Hambone is given for their total involvement not just their performance.
Winfield Community Theatre is pleased to announce our 2008-9 season.
Next summer we will be trying a June time slot. This show will not be a part of the official season but give us a chance to do special productions. The first show will be Who's afraid of Virginia's Wolfnote - June 12, 13, 14(m). 2009.
I am sorry for the delay on this post. David Schmiedler was the winner of WCT's Hambone award for Deadly Ernest. The Hambone is voted by the production crews and board members not in the show. It is given for outstanding contribution to the production and is based as much on the actor's attitude and backstage involvement as with their performance.
Winfield Community Theatre's winter production of "Deadly Ernest by Donald Payton opens this weekend. Show are Friday the 22nd and 23rd at 8pm. The production continues next weekend with performances on Friday February 29th and Saturday March 1st at 8pm. Tickets are available at the Winfied Chamber of Commerce, 205 East 9th in Winfield, at McIntire Tax Center, 119 West 5th Ave in Ark City and at the door. Tickets are $8.
This comedy, directed by Larry Junker, centers around Henry Gilcrest, a man who's life is falling apart. While spending the night in the park, he meets a man will arrange to have "Ernest" put Henry out of his misery. Returning to his life, Henry finds everything is good again. Except that everyone he meets is named "Ernest".
Auditions for the final show
of the special 40th Anniversary Season of the Winfield Community
Theatre have been announced. The auditions for ‘Man of La Mancha’, directed by Melody Krueger and Julia Lambert, will be Sunday February 24 from
. All auditions will be at the Winfield Community Theatre in Meyer Hall at Baden Square. Parts are available for 15 men and 5 women. There are also parts for soldiers, prisoners, prison guards, etc. Non-singing parts are available. There are no children’s parts.
‘Man of
La Mancha’ is a remarkable show based on Cervantes’ “Don Quixote.” It is a poignant story of a dying old man whose impossible dream takes over his mind. It's All the Same, Dulcinea, I'm Only Thinking of Him, The Impossible Dream, I Really Like Him and Little Bird remain in your thoughts and in your soul well after you see the show. His dream is Everyman's dream. His tilting at windmills is Everyman's great adventure. Somehow, the footlights disappear, time is telescoped and the "Man of La Mancha" speaks for humankind.
Show dates are April 25 and 26th, with a
matinee on the 27th and again on May 2 and 3rd. Additional adults are always welcomed who
wish to help with, or learn how to do costumes, sets, backstage crew,
publicity, lights, sound, etc. They may
also attend the auditions if so desired.
Auditions are very simple and no prepared materials are necessary. Small selections of music from the show for
auditions will be provided and rehearsed during auditions. Both those auditioning for singing and
non-singing parts will be asked to read from the script. Experience is not necessary.
