Two fourth-year students in 91ÑÇÉ«'s School of Arts, Performance, Media and Design are working with former chair of 91ÑÇÉ«'s Theatre Department, Robert Fothergill, on a new theatrical production opening Sept. 27.
Chelsea Driver (set and costumes) and Haley Duncan (sound) join a cast and crew for the production Let's Go – A Godot Prequel that includes 91ÑÇÉ« alumni as well as current and retired faculty.
Robert Fothergill
Fothergill, the playwright, presents the play for 12 performances at the Backspace of Theatre Passe Muraille from Sept. 28 to Oct. 8.
Timed to coincide with the last two weeks of the run of Waiting for Godot at Soulpepper, Let’s Go! introduces Gogo and Didi as an aspiring, and not very good, Vaudeville duo, on a tandem bicycle, in 1913 – 40 years before the first production of Samuel Beckett’s play, when the notion of Godot first enters their lives.
The plays is directed by 91ÑÇÉ« MFA grad Mark Cassidy, and stars 91ÑÇÉ« alumni Tony Ofori and Heather-Marie Annis. Producer Sarah Thorpe and Stage Manager Ana-Marija Stojic are also alumni, while former chair of 91ÑÇÉ«'s Theatre Department Liz Asselstine works as the lighting designer.
