AN INSIDE LOOK
Monday January 19, 7-8 pm at Heartland Theatre
The public is invited to a sneak peek behind the scenes of our upcoming show
SMOKEFALL by Noah Haidle. The director and designers will share their process and insights
at AN INSIDE LOOK, a partnership between the Normal Public Library and Heartland, on Heartland’s stage.
NO RESERVATIONS - NO CHARGE
You will meet the director Sandra Zielinski, and the design staff for SMOKEFALL, who will share their process. Kathleen Kirk, Normal Public Library staff and Heartland board member will moderate the discussion and share relevant materials and resources. The audience will hear some of the director’s vision, see some of the concepts for the scenic design by Steven House, costume design by Melissa Hall, properties by Tabitha Miller, as well as learn about helpful related materials at the Normal Public Library. Guests will be able to ask questions of the director, designers, and library staff. There is no charge for the event, first come-first served.
ABOUT THE PLAY: A surreal and poetic meditation on family, memory, and the passage of time, where the ordinary and the magical intertwine across generations. [General Audiences]
An Inside Look is a collaboration between Normal Public Library and Heartland Theatre Company. The program provides an opportunity for the community to meet production staff of upcoming Heartland Theatre productions and discuss relevancy, history, and technical aspects of each valuable theatre offering. Normal Public Library provides limited copies of scripts and related material available to borrow.
An Inside Look has a two-fold mission. The two organizations hope to diversify their patronage through intersection—drawing theatregoers to the library and sending library visitors to the theatre. Besides facilitating this mutual support system, An Inside Look provides prospective audience members insight into the creative process of transforming a script into a theatrical experience. An Inside Look, over the course of Heartland’s season, consists of several individual sessions, which take place two weeks before the opening of select shows in Heartland Theatre Company’s season. Sessions are comprised of a discussion by the theatre artists, followed by questions from the audience.
