VORKUTA
Wednesday, October 19 at 7:30pm (2005), Film Viewing Room (PAC) VORKUTA. The Theatre Program invites you to a reading of VORKUTA, a new play by student Blake Starbuck Rogers, directed by noted guest director Pamela Berlin. Death, sex, abandonment, violence, escapism, and insanity trouble the weary citizens of the arctic Soviet city of Vorkuta. Thoughts turn into actions when national history entices and destroys the wills of two women in this communist metadrama. Following the reading, please stay for a brief discussion with the playwright, moderated by Stuart Spencer.
Production experience
“Were you okay up there?” Ahh, another reaction to my performance. I was cast as the very old guy, aka grandpa, in this reading. A huge cast and a great director, I think she said about 50 words during the two rehearsals, rounded out this reading.
I seem to be getting the drunk or old roles this year. Strange.
