THE
THEATRE
SCHOOL
@
NORTH
COAST
REP STUDENTS
GIVE
A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT’S LIKE TO LIVE SOMEONE ELSE’S LIFE
If
you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live someone else’s life you
now have a chance to find out. The
Theatre
School
@ North Coast Rep will be presenting the classic Mark Twain tale of mistaken
ideas, The Prince and the Pauper.
The play, directed by Aaron Rumley, will run November 29, 30 and
December 1 at 7 p.m.; December 2 at 2 p.m. and a school matinee performance
November 30 at 10 a.m. at
North Coast Repertory Theatre
.
Prince
Edward lives a life of luxury while Tom spends his days begging on the streets.
When the two boys meet, a simple switch of clothing throws them each into a
world they would have never dreamed possible. The prince, mistaken for Tom, is
forced to live a pauper's life, while Tom unwillingly takes on the life of a
prince. In the end each finds the truth within themselves.
Joe
Powers, Director of The Theatre
School, strives to select plays with a variety of themes for his students to
perform from year to year. He enables them to expand their knowledge of the
world they live in and further explore the world of theatre.
Each show is an opportunity to, not only share wonderful live theatre, but to
look beyond the simple everyday things we encounter and allow our imaginations
to ponder things outside of the normalcy we’re used to.
“I
think all of us have asked ourselves, ‘what would it be like to be in someone
else’s shoes, to spend time living your life through someone else’s
perspective, to be judged by your appearance not by the qualities that make you
who you are, the things that make you unique in the world?’” says Powers.
“’What would it be like if no one believed anything you told them even
though it is the truth?’ These are some of the questions posed by Mark
Twain’s timeless story, The Prince
and the Pauper.”
