Bob
Sarti's Yippies In Love: First Exposure...
A
short while ago, Theatre In the Raw staged two workshop presentations of its latest
work in progress, Yippies In Love, a new musical written by Bob
Sarti.
Musical
director and composer, Bill Sample was at the keys and artistic director Jay Hamburger
at the helm, while the talented actors Steve Maddock, Danielle St. Pierre, Anna
Baignoche and Jason Logan were on board singing, dancing and drumming as Bob's
new script was exposed to an audience of over a hundred for the first time.
A
contingent of original Vancouver Yippies - some featured in the script - were
there to ensure the authenticity of the story.
Judging
by the enthusiastic discussion afterwards critics agree that the show has legs,
although there were suggestions of course, for further development.
"I
was concerned about how it would work."
says Sarti. "You never
know who is going to show up, or how they are going to take it. So, I knew I had
to develop a thick skin going in. It seemed like there was a lot more to be done,
and I was daunted but then I thought about all the comments and was back rewriting
before the second reading." Sarti said at a post-workshop gathering.
Helen
Dempster, a literacy instructor at Douglas College noted that, "many
young people, don't appreciate that they can be involved in their community, or
if they think about it, they don't know how to go about it or how powerful that
contribution can be. I would love to bring a class to this show because it will
encourage debate."
Theatre
In the Raw expects to debut the full grown musical production in late March/early
April, 2011 at the Woodwards Social Housing Building (Amenity Room) at
100 West Hastings Street in Vancouver.
