Archipelago at Altered Stages


The Intentional Theatre Group and Small Pond Entertainment., presents Archipelago, 10 short one-person plays at Altered Stages from 8 - 18 Nov 2007.

Archipelago consists of 10 short one-person plays that explore themes of solitude, self, and theatricality.

All of the plays in Archipelago explore the different ways people relate to, and deal with, their own isolation. A woman trapped inside her own mind, a desperate man in a jail cell, an artist with dynamite strapped to her chest, or a boy who finds hope in the seconds after jumping off a building. All of the characters confront, and ultimately come to grips with, the boxes they�ve created for themselves.

The 10 new plays, which are all world premieres, were commissioned by The It Group.

  • Scarface by Davy Rothbart
  • Hold This by Sheila Callaghan
  • Cranberry by Brian Patrick Leahy
  • The Cat�S Fault by Sarah Carbiener
  • The Way Down by Richard Strand
  • Up Here/In Here by Anton Dudley
  • Orbit by Erica Rosbe
  • Act Without Words by Samuel Beckett
  • (A Diptych) by Joyce Carol Oates
  • Yes by Stephen Belber
Directed by Emerie Snyder, Archipelago features Therese Barbato, Sarah Carbiener, Daniel Owen Dungan, Nick Lewis, Lethia Nall, Gavin-Keith Umeh and Dan Via.

The creative team comprises Michael Kerns (set), Elisabeth Vastola (costumes), Eileen Goddard (lighting) and Peter Wood (sound).
