Opening next week!!!


Greetings again folks!  I am happy to announce that just this week, we ran through the entire play, from Zeus to Trojan Horse, for the first time.  And let me say this:  I truly haven't been this excited for a show to open in a long time.  Not just because I'm assistant directing or writing to you in this blog or whatnot, but this piece truly has the potential to inspire, in my opinion.

For example, in addition to assistant directing The Trojan War, it is also my responsibility to act as the Managing Director at Inconceivable Theatre.  Those duties include writing checks, filing paperwork, etc., etc., etc., and from time to time:  revisiting our mission statement.  And wow, I really think we're hitting the nail on the head with this show!  How so? Because this production really does "provide fresh insight and modern relevance into texts, literature, music, fine arts and other works that have stood the test of time."  In other words, with Jessica Puller's text and Tony Dobrowolski's direction, this cast is really beginning to show all these century-famed stories revolving around the Trojan War.  But what is more beautiful is that the sense of comedy in this play does not mean you have to be a Greek historian to appreciate it in the least, nor must you simply just like fart jokes either.

In a time where all you see on the news is Republicans and Democrats blaming each other over wars and debt ceilings and taxes, The Trojan War really begins to put things into perspective.  Please be sure to sign up for your tickets now.  We are open only for four short weeks starting Sunday, August 7 at the studio theatre at the Apollo.  More to come!

And we're off...

GREETINGS INCONCEIVABLE FANS!  This is Pat Murphy, Assistant Director for our upcoming show The Trojan War; Or, How One Bad Apple Spoiled the World.  I'm excited to say that we'll be wrapping up our second week of rehearsals this weekend by getting up from the reading-the-script-at-the-table-phase and on our feet to the let's-really-delve-in-and-play phase!!!  I think our cast is aching to start moving, and there's plenty of sword-fighting, Ken-doll-posing, and more to get into.  We've only just begun...

And more, I love that a brand new fresh script like this have all the silliness and craziness that it does, but still be able to show off the great acting skills of our cast dramatically, too!  As each one of them hop back and forth between character to character, century to century, and even mortal to god, it looks  like a promising production in the works--even from our first couple table reads!  So be sure to mark your calendars, because I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what will be happening in the Apollo Studio this August!  :)
