The play, devised “from the dust in the room” came to life and was performed in the Samuel Beckett Theatre on Trinity College’s campus in Dublin. The play was a success and garnered multiple positive reviews. Now, half a year later, those on the original team still in New York have revised, edited, and are re-mounting the project with a new cast and in a new space.</span></b></b></div>

American culture, history, and family combines with Irish tradition, culture, and history in a blanket of mystery to tell a story about our roots and past, our daunting present, and the darkly bright future.</span></b></div>

The action takes place at the wake of James Ryder, where the audience are mourners, and the cast of characters include a recently married lesbian couple with a troublesome two year old, a juvenile delinquent math whiz, a drunk pediatrician, a mysterious visitor, a very confused genealogist, and someone whose past and future are as muddled as the land from which he came.</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">On November 7th, Uproar Theatre Corps hosted our <i><b>3rd</b></i> 1-5 Minute Play Festival since our foundation as a club in September 2011. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This year, we did a few things differently - we added an Assistant Director, we decided to take on the Palladium Multi-Purpose Room, and we put it together in only 3 days! But a giant thanks to our actors and our artistic team for making that possible. Hurricane Sandy had a huge effect on everything on campus, but everyone pulled through nicely and fiercely, and made the reading great! We had an excellent turnout - at least 40 people came and showed their support for friends and colleagues. Past Uproar members and graduates came, as well many members in the Educational Theatre, and even friends outside the community. The show wouldn't have been possible without our superb audience!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Daryl Embry, our director, and Sarah Chichester, the assistant director, went above and beyond with each and every play - making them all enjoyable, entertaining, and frankly, hilarious.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our actors took their direction and went with the flow, while also making their own wonderful choices. They were all fun to watch, great to work with, and just fantastic people.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">And a big thanks to Amy Cordileone, our faculty advisor; the Upboard, for pulling it all together; the Steinhardt USG, Dean Mary Brabeck, and <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Justine M.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On Saturday, October 20th, Uproar had the honor of hosting a reading for Ian Mairs' play, </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Learning Curve</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. It was a full-length, two act play about a man who got thrown into teaching, not really knowing which direction to take or choices to make. He fell into a job in a Creative Writing class full of students with various personalities. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>

Up and comer, Mason Lee (NYU alum, <i>The Hangover, Pt. II</i>) played one of the students in the creative writing classroom.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">But my experience went beyond just watching the reading. I arrived at the Palladium Multi-Purpose Room at 11:30am, ready to start the day of rehearsal and performance. When the actors started arriving, the director, another notable figure, Sean Daniels, got together food and water for the actors.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He then made sure they all had scripts, talked about the process of the day, and asked Ian if he had anything to add. Ian didn't say much, but just that the actors should "play the comedy of it, not the tragedy. It <u>is</u> a comedy."</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then the actors began to read. A few times, Sean would say, 'Okay, let's do that again, and this time...', but for the most part, he just allowed them to read, and would afterwards give each actor a note that they needed to remember for the reading.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was acting under pressure, but Sean did everything he could to make it a relaxed setting - it didn't feel high pressure on my end, but that's because the group of people was so fun, chill, and talented.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The reading was a huge success. The audience responded really positively, and both Sean and Ian seemed extremely thrilled with it. After the reading, many audience members (an invited audience) and the cast was invited to a fancy/swanky after party.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One day, I'm sure all us Uproarians will be going to fancy/swanky after parties too!</span></span><br />

It was a great opportunity to meet and mingle with fellow Educational Theatre students, as well as to learn more about the Educational Theatre program from our wonderful faculty.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This semester, the main stage production will be <i>Salvation Road</i> directed by David Montgomery, which will take place on the last weekend of October and the first weekend of November. Many friends of Uproar and even our very own Uproarians are involved, so we hope that everyone will go out and support!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also learned that next semester's main stage production will be <i>The Crucible</i> directed by Phillip Taylor, and the auditions will take place shortly after Thanksgiving, so get ready to act your heart out!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But even sooner auditions will take place September 21st and 22nd for Shakespeare-to-Go's production of <i>Hamlet</i> directed by Daryl Embry. Be on the look-out for more info if you'd like to be involved - it's a great opportunity and experience!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Amy Cordileone, our faculty advisor and newly appointed full-time faculty, also told us a little about the Writer's Circle. Many renowned writers, as well as some of our very own alumni, will be writing new works throughout the school year in a writer's circle that will also open up some opportunities for current students to be involved in. Later on, these writers may need student actors, and we're also thinking of ways to get Uproar involved as well!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Finally, we learned that Theatrix in Spring 2013 will have an extremely different flair from years past, and we cannot wait to hear more about it!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We hope that you will all find ways to be involved in as many events as possible - integrate yourself into the Ed Theatre community!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">------------------------------------------------------</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, one of the most exciting things about our kick-off Ed Theatre evening was Instant Gratification. 6 playwrights wrote plays over night with some very specific parameters, which were then to be directed, memorized, and perfected the next day to be performed that night. All six plays were enjoyable to watch and exciting to see. Everyone on our Uproar E-board played a part in Instant Gratification, whether it was writing, directing, or acting. Did you do anything for Instant Grat? Share here!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

Uproar has an awesome year planned, but none of it is possible without all of you. The first meeting of the Uproar Theatre Corps general membership, now officially named the Uproar Rabble Rousers is this Friday (9/7) at 6pm (Third Floor Lounge). We'll be playing games, announcing our baller schedule, going over our semester-long competition (Big Ups anyone?), and talking advanced statistics for my fantasy basketball team. Come and join us and be a Rabble Rouser!</span>Uproar Theatre Corpshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12153387029779736602noreply@blogger.com0
