ICT Showcase Information
In addition to its award winning seasons at ICT MainStage, ICT also offers 3 additional programs on a regular basis at its Rudy Seppy Rehearsal Studio on Rochelle.
Readers Theatre
Classical readers theatre presentations are performed every third Sunday beginning in October and running through May. Many of the plays given a reading for the first time in the metroplex are under consideration for inclusion in an upcoming season of MainStage productions. Care to help decide what is included in a season? Make your voice heard in the Q&A session that follows each presentation. Care to see a favorite script of yours be given consideration? Any ICT member is eligible to choose a play and direct in this venue. We encourage your attendance and participation. Hey, and admission to the Readers Theatre program is Free! Call the ICT Rudy Seppy Rehearsal Studio at 972-594-6104 for reservations, to volunteer, or find out how to be a director!
Showcase
Sometimes particular plays under consideration require a little closer inspection. Sometimes it’s necessary to get a play on its feet to get a real feel for how the play works and how it might be received to a larger audience. For these plays, we have ICT Showcase which is given a set, props, costumes just like a real production only in this forum, the actors are still permitted to carry their scripts while realizing their full character development. Showcase productions go under a much longer period of rehearsal. Some of the plays given Showcase production in recent months include, THE PRICE, SYLVIA, A LETTER FROM ETHEL KENNEDY and MASS APPEAL.
Like Readers Theatre, they are performed at the ICT Rudy Seppy Rehearsal Studio and any ICT member is eligible to direct. You don’t necessarily have to be a member to perform in Showcase you can gain free membership in ICT by participating. Hey, and admission is Free! Look for announcements of the next ICT Showcase. Call the ICT Studio at 972-594-6104 for more information.
Theatre On The Edge (TOTE)
Taking its maiden voyage in the summer of 2005 this program provides Irving audiences a chance to see a full-scale production of a play with edgier subject matter than is normally associated with a MainStage season. Performed in the intimate surroundings of the 40 seat ICT Rudy Seppy Rehearsal Studio, you’ll have a chance to see close up some of the finest talents in the metroplex on display. Visit the Theater On The Edge (TOTE) page to learn more about this exciting new program.
