Four Theater Alums Involved in Full Circle Theater
Augsburg theater alums Quinci Bachman, Jorge Rodriguez, Stephanie Lein Walseth, and Carolyn Pool are involved in the debut production of Full Circle Theater now playing at Dreamland Arts in St. Paul. Full Circle was founded by former theater faculty member Martha Johnson and her husband, Rick Shiomi, former artistic director of Mu Performing Arts. Their production, "Theater: A Sacred Passage," is an original performance piece devised by the five core artists of Full Circle from their personal journeys into theater.
The artists/playwrights are Rick Shiomi, Martha Johnson, alum Stephanie Lein Walseth, James Williams, and Lara Trujillo. Their stories embody the challenges and transformational experiences they have had in becoming theater artists and how their lives and work reflect the huge changes in our theater community over the past two decades. The piece incorporates acting, storytelling, choreography and music. Quinci Bachman is production coordinator, stage manager, and sound designer. Jorge Rodriguez is set and technical director and lighting designer. Actor Carolyn Pool is a cast member. The production runs until Sunday, November 22. For more information visit http://www.dreamlandarts.com/ or www.facebook.com/fullcircletheater.
After attending the show, diversity expert Gordon Nakagawa wrote: "Comprised of multiple discrete and overlapping life stories and passages, 'Theater: A Sacred Passage' attests to the bracing power of narrative to move, teach, and inspire."
