In collaboration with The Strand Theater, Spotlighters is co-producing a new play for The Maryland STEM Festival. Join us for a Workshop Performance of ...
HYPATIA'S MATH at The Strand Theater. Fri & Sat - Nov 11 & 12, 2016 - 8pm A young woman (Hypatia) in Roman Alexandria develops herself into a gifted geometer, mathematician and teacher, but her world is destroyed by the growing darkness and political strife that emerge. Religious fundamentalism builds steadily in this clash of cultures. Inspiring excerpts from classical works by Porphyry, Plotinus, Aristotle and Plato are woven into the action to further the plot and add to the classical mood, while the events in the play are based closely on extant historical texts. Dance and music, including an Homeric hymn, add to the artistic texture. Hypatia of Alexandria was the most famous woman mathematician of antiquity, and her story is as relevant now as it was in her day. |

DAS BARBECÜ
- a new musical comedy book & lyrics by Jim Luigs music by Scott Warrender directed by Greg Bell musical direction by Michael Tan Oct 7 - 30, 2016 Fri & Sat at 8pm / Sun at 2pm Wagner's Ring Cycle is spun as a witty Texas fable with five actors playing more than 30 outrageous characters at breakneck speed. Songs run the gamut from Broadway to Texas swing, from jazz to twangy country and western. Mismatched lovers who meet on the day of their shotgun double wedding, three generations of feuding families, a magic ring of power, wild west lariat tricks, a synchronized swimming revue, a song and dance tribute to the joys of guacamole, and the sweetest two step ever to slide across a stage add up to wild comedy. "Your sides will ache by the end of the fast paced country western musical comedy." - Variety Ten Spot Thursday: Oct 13 - Tickets $10 Talk Back: Sun, Oct 23 - Post show discussion with directors & cast |
