2009-2010 SEASON


This year, Vpstart Crow will present a season of mistaken identities and hidden agendas. Our season will open with Shakespeare's classic tale of ambition and occult horror, MacBeth. Christmas will see our eleventh annual performance of Charles Dicken's A Christmas Carol. Charley's Aunt and Twelth Night let us laugh through the Winter and carry us into Spring. The season is rounded out with a children's play, The Princess and the Pea.

MacBeth
Directed by Rob Batarla
October 2009

"All hail MacBeth, who shall be King hereafter." With these fateful words, the Weird Sisters launch MacBeth, loyal partisan of good King Duncan, onto a path of betrayal and murder. Urged ever onward by his ambitious and ruthless wife, MacBeth leaves a widening trail of death and despair as he fulfills the destiny revealed by the sisters. Is it unchecked ambition, occult manipulation, or their own so human weakness that at last brings them to madness and destruction?

Charley's Aunt
Directed by Julie Cameron
March 2010

Jack Chesney loves Kitty Verdun and Charles loves Miss Spettigue. They invite the ladies to meet Charley's wealthy aunt from Brazil. But alas, the millionaire aunt sends word that she will have to defer her visit for a few days. What is to be done? The problem is solved by forcing another Oxford undergraduate into a black satin skirt, a lace fichu, a pair of mitts, and an old fashioned cap and wig. As Charley's Aunt, this old frump is introduced to the sweethearts. When the real aunt turns up, the comic confusion which results, has made this play a favorite of audiences for many years.

First performed in 1602, Twelfth Night has been amusing audiences with its tale of a young woman who disguises herself as a young man in order to maintain her safety only to have a wealthy countess fall in love with the young man she is supposed to be while she falls in love with the Duke and can't reveal herself to be a woman. Got all that? When her supposedly drowned twin brother enters the scene, things become even more confused. This play also features the Falstaffian Sir Toby Belch and his mischevous adventures.

King Maxmillian of Maxwell-by-the-Sea and his mother, Ancient Queen Maude summon Esmerelda Smythe, the only, and therefore, wisest, gypsy in the kingdom. According to the ancient Book of Wit and Wisdome, Esmerelda says, the Prince must now go on a journey to seek a bride. If he finds no one suitable, he must return home to wait for a bride to come to him. Esmeralda can't say why this is so. She interprets the law; she doesn't explain
