   "Treasure Island" Episode 2 “Unearthing the Treasure”

   “Unearthing the Treasure” features interviews with the director, cast and designers. Linfield Theatre Program presents Bryony Lavery’s play adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island, directed by Janet Gupton. “Lavery’s adaptation appealed to me because she writes the role of Jim Hawkins to be played by a young woman. Lavery says the desire for adventure lives in ‘each of us - girl or boy, grandma or granddad,’ who wants to board ships, fight pirates and find hidden treasure,” says Gupton. Treasure Islandwill offer audiences a rollicking fun escapade with its array of distinctive, yet recognizable characters - the bully, the malcontent, the turncoat, the overlooked, and the charismatic, but dangerous Long John Silver with his sidekick parrot, “Captain Flint.” “We decided to come back with ‘swords’ a blazing and reignite everyone’s passion for live theatre. We are going to launch our 102nd consecutive season with no island stone left unturned,” says Gupton. Performance dates are Nov. 11-13 at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m., Nov. 18 and 19 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 20 at 2 p.m.in the Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall.

   "Ground Zero: 2021" Episode 1 Conversation with the director & co-creators

   Linfield Theatre is delighted to return to live, in-person performances for our 2021-22 season! We’ve missed you and we’ve missed the thrill that comes with gathering together to explore the human condition through art. Our season begins with Ground Zero: 2021, an original set of four performance art installations, from 1-5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 18 in the Ford Hall courtyard, rain or shine. The event is free and open to the public. Audience members may arrive at any time during the afternoon, moving at their own pace and revisiting any installations. Face coverings are required for this performance. This podcast is a conversation with the director and co-creators as they discuss their thoughts, reflections, and creative process while devising this performance. Ground Zero: 2021 reflects on the complicated geopolitical fallout surrounding the events of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. Each installation, situated in the Arts Quad on the Keck campus, will reflect on a key theme of 9/11’s rhetoric, subsequent policy and ongoing legacy: “Borders,” “State Secrets,” “Terror” and “Surveillance.” The piece is directed by guest director Justine Nakase and collectively devised and curated by Linfield students Rachel Goines, Ellie Gossett and David Gray. More information can be found here (https://www.linfield.edu/linfield-news/ground-zero-2021-commemorates-legacy-of-9-11/).
