The Alliance of Resident Theatres/New York is launching What’s Off?, a new podcast celebrating innovative approaches individuals and organizations in the world of nonprofit theatre have taken to anything that has felt “off.”
The novel-turned-musical is playing at Maine State Music Theatre in Brunswick.
“We have been fortunate right away that there felt like a sisterly energy between the two of us,” says Tavia Rivée, who plays Nettie in Maine State Music Theatre’s new production of THE COLOR PURPLE. Rivée is talking about her co-star, Jaden Dominique, who plays the show’s protagonist, Celie. Dominique seconds these sentiments, saying she has felt that connection from the very beginning and being able to share housing with her colleague during the rehearsal period “has strengthened that bond.”
What’s harrowing, of course, is that while much has changed since 1934, the production is keen to point out what hasn’t. A slick and imaginative production.
