THE HUDSON SCHOOL IN HOBOKEN, NEW JERSEY PRESENTS THE GLORIOUS ONES BY LYNN AHRENS AND STEPHEN FLAHERTY
HOBOKEN (November 9, 2009) From the creators of Once on this Island, Ragtime, and Seussical, comes The Glorious Ones: a beautiful and broadly humorous look at one of the last Commedia dell’ Arte troupes in Italy. Directed and designed by Adam Sentoni, the cast includes: Pooja Desai from Secaucus as the saucy Columbina; Max Ohring from Hoboken as the miserly Pantalone; Ryan Parker from Montclair and Sierra Shade Waxman from Hoboken play Francesco and Isabella Andreini, the Lovers. Anschel-Shaffer Cohen from Jersey City plays the Latin-spewing Dottore; Samantha Stein from Montclair is Armanda the Dwarf; and Woody Proctor from Hoboken plays Flaminio Scala, the leader of the troupe. “A wooden stage. An audience. And a great actor. This, my friends, is my idea of heaven.” Seven characters tell their stories and relive their former glory days on stage. Based on the novel by Francine Prose, The Glorious Ones follows a troupe of actors in 16th century Italy as the great improvised theatrical tradition known as Commedia dell’ Arte comes to an end. The Glorious Ones will be presented at The Hudson School Performance Space, 601 Park Avenue, Hoboken, NJ on Friday, December 11 at 7:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday, December 12 and 13 at 5:00 PM.
