Description:
An in-debth, “behind the scenes” investigation of Theatre UCSB’s production of Rabbit Hole by David Lindsay-Abaire, directed by Irwin Appel, professor of this seminar. Students will read the play and observe all of the aspects of the production itself, including acting, direction, design and script analysis. This seminar will culminate with the viewing of a performance in the UCSB Performing Arts Theatre, along with a post-play discussion with actors and crew. The goal of the seminar will be to follow the progress of the production from play selection through actual performance. There will be mandatory attendance at two rehearsals, one performance, one post-play discussion, along with the possible viewing of additional optional rehearsals (students in the seminar will be observers, not participants in the production).
Professor Irwin Appel, Theater & Dance, teaches Shakespeare, Directing, Theatre Appreciation, and all levels of Acting. He is an Equity actor, director and composer/sound designer and has worked professionally in New York, Los Angeles and at major theatres and Shakespearean festivals throughout the United States.
