Watch a sort of "open workshop," where the actors in the company experiment with different techniques. Sometimes we will do the same scene more than once, either to hear different voices and actors in the same roles, or to pause and let the director give some notes to the cast before a second run-through. Scenes that we've performed recently have included a number of scenes from Shakespeare's ''Anthony &amp; Cleopatra'', as well as from other plays by the Bard. We've also performed scenes from a stage adaption of Lewis Carol's ''Alice in Wonderland'', and a number of other monologues and short pieces. These workshops/performances are completely free to attend. They happen at the [http://slurl.com/secondlife/Cookie/42/29/25 Greek Archon Theater in Cookie]. <br style="clear: both" /> == Previous Productions == === Tales of the Metaverse (2008 October) === <div style="float: right; width=512px; padding-left: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em">[[Image: Metaverse2.png]]</div> [[Tales of the Metaverse]] was the Avatar Repertory Theater's first production. Taking three one-act plays written by Second Life residents, the up and coming group sought to thrill. Nearly a year later, those same members are working to get the plays logged through machinima work led by Thundergas Menges. Performed at both Topaz Plaza and Broadway Live Island, these selections proved to be a thrill for audience members at both venues. * '''Thursday, October 30, 6pm SLT''' * '''Friday, October 31, 6pm SLT''' * '''Saturday, November 1, 12pm SLT''' * '''Sunday, November 2, 2pm SLT''' From another dimension: A dimension of sight and sound.

Given a steampunk twist, the visuals were set to excite and wow just as much as the fantastic acting. This SL play was set to be special from the beginning, and it was. As JubJub Forder described the design, "[It's a] pre-apocolyptic post-victorian furry steampunk... and with a dedicated sim, special effects, uniquely created stage and props, and of course the finest actors in SL....its bound to be a blast" And a blast it was! All performances were in the Garden World sim, hosted by JubJub Forder. Seating was limited and tickets were L$500. * '''Thursday, February 12, 6pm SLT''' * '''Saturday, February 14, 3pm SLT''' * '''Sunday, February 15, 3pm SLT''' * '''Tuesday, February 17, 3pm SLT''' * '''Wednesday, February 18, 5pm SLT''' * '''Friday, February 20, 8pm SLT''' === Shakespeare at the Pavilion (2009 May) === <div style="float:right; width: 370px; padding: 2em">[[Image:Pavaillionposter.jpg]]</div> [[Shakespeare at the Pavilion]] was a collection of scenes from the Bard's plays at San Diego's Organ Pavilion. * '''Saturday, May 30, 4PM SLT''' * '''Sunday, May 31, 4PM SLT''' <br style="clear: both" /> === Howard Barker's <i>13 Objects</i> (2009 October) === <div style="float: right; width=512px; padding-right: 1em; padding-bottom: 1em">[[Image: 13 Objects Poster 2.jpg]]</div> <div style="float: right; width=512px; padding-right: 0em; padding-bottom: 1em">[[Image: 13 Objects Poster 1.jpg]]</div> Coventry University presents Avatar Repertory Theater's staging of "13 Objects: Studies in Servitude" by Howard Barker as part of an international festival celebrating the work of this prestigious playwright.

The installation is scheduled to open sometime in October and be up for at least thirty days. Admission to the event and installation is free.

Please join Alice’s trip down the rabbit hole as the Avatar Repertory Theater proudly presents "Alice in WonderSLand", in an all-original production with our madly talented international cast and team. Lead designer JubJub Forder says "this is not the cutesy Alice you usually find in movies. This is a little girl's dark fears of growing up."

After receiving your ticket, you will be given a landmark to transport you to the performance venue. The audience will be immersed into WonderSLand, where they will see magical places bloom around them, with a panoramic view of the scenes built by JubJub Forder and his talented crew. Visit the White Rabbit's house, enjoy a Tea Party with the Mad Hatter, Dormouse and March Hare, attend a Croquet game hosted by the Queen of Hearts, and witness the trial of the Knave of Hearts in a courtroom where rules are meant to be broken. Theater presented in a virtual world such as this gives the designers, costumers, builders and actors the opportunity to present entertainment that would be impossible in real life. Our imagination drives those dreams, and we invite you to come play with us in WonderSLand. Avatar designer Ada Radius promises your experience to be "surreal comedy on the edge of a nightmare", and costume designer Rowan Shamroy is creating a dark look to echo the original Tenniel illustrations, based on the clothing of late Victorian England.
