On Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art (LRMA), four SPC theater students (and their professor) assisted in a gallery talk entitled “An Introduction to Satirical Opera”. \u00a0 Gail Simon, LRMA docent and researcher, who is also a student of theater, presented an intricately detailed account of John Gay’s “Beggar’s Opera” and Bertolt Brecht’s “The Threepenny Opera.” She explained how these pieces of theater inspired artists Abraham Rattner and Jack Levine to produce print portfolios of scenes and characters from and about the theater pieces that are amazing and haunting.<\/p>\n

In addition to the gallery talk, theater students Kayla Witoshynsky, Chelsea Hooker and Connor Hodge \u00a0performed and sang three selections for the small attentive audience from “Threepenny Opera” accompanied by Bill Bryant on the piano in the intimate space in front of the sketches and prints. \u00a0Theater professor Scott Cooper also gave insight on how the plays were put together and how some of these songs (Mack the Knife) have become musical favorites.<\/p>\n

“Brecht is one of my theater heroes—never afraid of being on the edges of society and always wanting to talk about important things that matter,” said Cooper.\u00a0 “He even did it in an entertaining way so that the audience was enjoying themselves but listening to words that might inspire action—political or otherwise!”.<\/p>\n

The audiences reaction was delight.\u00a0 The songs, although a bit risque, were done well and the question and answer period after the performance was full of well thought out questions about how theater can affect art, society and, well, everything.\u00a0 One spectator in the audience exclaimed that “they didn’t just sing the songs, they acted them very well—while singing!” which is a huge compliment for the theater department and these talented theater students.<\/p>\n

Future collaborations will hopefully be talked about between the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art and the SPC Theater Department. The Theater Department performed Edward Albee’s “The Sandbox” at the opening of the museum in 2002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
