ART Plays Around (Every Friday at 5PM)
Every Friday at 5PM SLT, join the actors of the Avatar Repertory Theater in a series of staged readings and dramatic scenes known as ART Plays Around. 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 & 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 Greek Archon Theater in Cookie.
Alice in Wonderland
Catch the Alice Fever! Avatar Repertory Theater to perform "Alice In Wonderland" in a brand new, all inclusive adventure for all! You don't want to miss this unique experience. Coming May 2010.

Tales of the Metaverse (2008 October)
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.

From another dimension:
A dimension of sight and sound.
A dimension of imagination.
A dimension of virtual reality.
Second Life... The Metaverse.
The age of the metaverse is upon us.
The Tempest (2009 February)
The Tempest, a story of love, deceit and redemption was brought to Second Life by the Avatar Repertory Theater in February of 2009. 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.

Howard Barker's 13 Objects (2009 October)
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.
"13 Objects: Studies in Servitude" by Howard Barker, will be performed by A.R.T. live in Second Life, October 20th at 4 pm and October 21st at 2 pm SLT at the Coventry University sim. 13 Objects shows the secret lives of everyday objects, such as a cup and saucer, or a camera, to make intimate connections and inspire powerful feelings, with poetic language, provocative ideas and dark humor.
Along with the live performances, A.R.T. plans to display an installation featuring scenes from "13 Objects" to allow Second Life residents to wander through the environment and get a feel for this remarkable work. 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.
