The upcoming 2010 season for Inconceivable Theatre promises plenty of the unconventional, including a trip to an all-girls boarding school in Germany between the wars and a return visit to a small-town community theatre in Manitoba where puppets run rampant.
Fresh off the sold-out inaugural 2009 production of "Three Sisters....Alone!," the company's 2010 season debut is a working production of "Another Caesar." Written by Joe Lehman and set in Germany between the wars, this dramatic play involves a dictator poised to turn Germany's destiny to his will while a professor of history schemes to stop him, but at what cost to family and country? The battle plays out in the midst of an all-girl boarding school production of "Julius Caesar," whose cast members must choose between treason and a more personal betrayal.
The 2010 season also features a remount production of "Three Sisters....Alone!" which follows five members of the Upper Manitoba Players as they struggle to recreate Chekhov's classic, "Three Sisters," with puppets, backstage conflict and unrequited love. Bedlam ensues when the fictional Canadian theatre troupe attempts to perform the show despite ever-increasing obstacles.
To get the 2010 season started, the newly founded theatre company will host a fundraiser early December 2009. Featuring performances by the Upper Manitoba Players, raffles, prizes and games, the event will be catered by Smoque and will include the opportunity to meet the theatre's founders.
