Postive Audience Response to Gorilla Rep’s Joan of Arc

July 13, 2009 by Dennis Baker 

The first weekend of Joan of Arc went well. We have received great audience feedback and the crowds increased in number each night. Below is Elizabeth Lorris Ritter’s response, along with pictures she took:

Catch JOAN OF ARC, another high quality production by Gorilla Repertory Theatre Company Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun nights at 8pm through August 2nd (2009) in NYC’s Fort Tryon Park. Use the main pedestrian entrance for the Heather Garden, and head west, (to the left) to the Pine Grove. (To get to the park, take the A-train to 190th Street, or walk/bus to Margaret Corbin Circle, at the northern terminus of Fort Washington Ave., just above 190th Street.)

While the company has done many fine productions which dynamically engage the park as set, this play works particularly well as it was written especially for the space. The dialogue is poetic; the direction crisp; the acting true.

Bring a blanket (and a flashlight!), or just wear comfortable clothes and sit on the grass, but be prepared to move around the pine grove as the set changes with each scene. Not a lot of walking, but a fair amount of standing up, moving a few feet, and sitting back down again.

This priceless theatre is absolutely free, but you’ll want to bring some money (or a check) to drop in the hat that’s passed at the end of the show. Totally worthwhile, and tax-deductible, too!
