First Person: Seeing America
Aquila Theatre Company
Ensemble Galilei, Bill Pullman & Lily Knight With Photographs from the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Returning to Three Stages by popular demand, the renowned Aquila Theater—“a classically trained, modernly hip troupe” (New York Times)—offers two plays: Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew and Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac. Founded in 1991, the company’s mission is to bring the greatest theatrical works to the greatest number, touring internationally to broad acclaim. “Aquila’s productions are beautifully spoken, dramatically revealing, and crystalline in effect” (The New Yorker).
In 2011, the Three Stages’ audience delighted to Universe of Dreams, Ensemble Galilei’s presentation of poetry, music, and images from the Hubble Space Telescope. Returning now with actors Bill Pullman (Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping, Too Big To Fail) and Lily Knight (Changeling, Boston Legal), the subject turns to great American photographs (Evans, Stieglitz and more), as culled from the extensive collection housed in the MMA. Accompanying these moving images are readings from some of America’s finest writers (Hughes, Muir, and more), and evocative music by Ensemble Galilei (“they play with energy, splendid ensemble, good humor and imagination,” Washington Post)— with performances from Bach to Celtic and back.
