Coming to the 2010 New York International Fringe Festival
The Deconstructive Theatre Project
is proud to be an associate producer of
directed by Ryan J. Davis
with original music by Rachel Peters
and dramaturgy by DTP Founding Director, Adam J. Thompson
In the spring of 1920, a Harvard undergraduate’s suicide unearthed a hidden homosexual subculture among the student population of the university. Grief-stricken and demanding justice, his family brought two incriminating letters to the attention of Harvard’s legendary president, Lawrence Lowell, who hastily assembled a team of deans to expurgate these “sexual deviants” before they infected other students on campus. Inspired by these events, VERITAS is the tragic story of the bright-futured boys whose lives fell prey to a family’s desire for revenge and an august institution’s reckless pursuit of the Truth.

Dear Friends,

We’ve produced successful readings, workshops and fundraisers, always continually expanding our family. It’s been great meeting and working with many of you and I expect to see the rest of you at an event soon.
Can you help us quickly right now?

For every new email address we collect over the next week, I’m donating $1 to DTP. Just join our email list my using the box to the left and send this message along to your friends and you’ll help us raise money and increase awareness.
Need another reason to forward this? We’re holding auditions for our upcoming project The Orpheus Variations. Forward this to your actor friends and help them get an audition.

Category: Fundraising, General | No Comments | DonateToday, my good friend Mitch Dean sent to me a quote from the film “The Education of Charlie Banks”, noting that the short dialogue reminded him of my interests as a director and the work of The Deconstructive Theatre Project. The quote is really quite spot-on regarding how I choose to approach the creation of a work and my on-going interest in point of view and notions of “truth” across history. I’d like to share the quote here.
As one character asks another what “deconstruction” is, the second responds as follows:
“It’s like, he’s takes something apart, right? And you see all of it’s threads. You see that all of these threads have different meanings and examine how these meanings were imposed upon these threads. I guess, you kind of reveal all the contradictions and inconsistencies and you see that there’s no one truth expressed; there is no one absolute truth.”
